I have been prescribed to Suboxone/Subutex for 2 years. My Doc switched me to Subutex because insurance stopped covering me bc of my addiction. Subutex has a generic and it was much, much cheaper. Subutex has been hard for me because you can easily abuse it compared to Suboxone. Once Suboxone creates a generic (which is very soon) i will go back on Suboxone.

I took suboxone to quick after being on a high dose of methadone and it threw me into instant withdrawal !!!! I felt like a mack truck ran me over and I ran to the bathroom every 10 minutes. I had hot/cold flashes, muscle cramps, my nerve endings burned like fire. I pray that no one else makes this same mistake. You have to wean yourself down to a low dose of methadone before taking suboxone. ... Show Full Comment

I had hot/cold flashes, muscle cramps, my nerve endings burned like fire. I pray that no one else makes this same mistake. You have to wean yourself down to a low dose of methadone before taking suboxone. If you take it too soon, it will throw you into instant withdrawal, really bad withdrawal. Worst withdrawal than I had ever had before. DON'T TAKE SUBOXONE AFTER BEING ON A HIGH DOSE OF METHADONE!!!!!! Maybe after you have dosed down to 20 or 30mg you can take the suboxone. Make sure it is in small doses !!!! Work yourself up to a higher dose of Suboxone after you have dosed down your methadone intake !!! PLEASE DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE THAT I DID !!!

For me this medication was so helpful. I was so fearful of yet again getting addicted to one drug to escape the pain of letting go of another. I had a sever opiate addiction. Hydro, oxy, morphine, demeroll, methodone, whatever I took all of them for years and was medically detoxed twice nothing worked! i was ready to just accept the fact I may never be able to stay clean until I found a clinic ...

For me this medication was so helpful. I was so fearful of yet again getting addicted to one drug to escape the pain of letting go of another. I had a sever opiate addiction. Hydro, oxy, morphine, demeroll, methodone, whatever I took all of them for years and was medically detoxed twice nothing worked! i was ready to just accept the fact I may never be able to stay clean until I found a clinic and a wonderful doc that wrote this script for me. I am proud to say 2 years later i am going strong, happy, healthy, and sober! I take absolutly nothing at all. Advil is as good as it gets and that's very rare! I wish you all the best of luck! I know it's so wonderful to have my life back. I hope maybe this will encourage someone to give this drug a real chance! Best wishes! One is too many and a thousand and NEVER enough!!!
