I Feel So All Alone In This.

Updated

I have been on suboxone for 8 years now. I use 2 b on methadone for almost 5 years. I had a really bad addiction 2 Oxys. When it came down 2 tapering off the methadone, I went from 110 to 24. Couldn't take the withdrawals, so, Dr put me on subs. I also suffer from a lot of pain due 2 bulging discs, spinal stenosis, bi- lateral neuropathy, sciatica , etc ... I know that some people stay on methadone 4 life. I feel I'm going 2 b on the subs. 4 a long time. I'm afraid of going back on opiates , due 2 my pain and addiction. Is there anyone else out there who has been on subs a long time ? Or, feel the way I do ? Because, I feel so all alone in this situation.

I have been on subutex for 8 yrs also, i was first prescribed 4, 8mgs a day. That is way way to much for anyone. I only take 1/2 to 1, 8 mg a day now. I cut it into 4 halves & take a 1/4 at a time.This med saved my life, I take it for pain now but was given it for narcotic withdraw 8 yrs ago. some people have to take meds for the rest of their lives, im ok with taking it, it helps me, allwos me to still feel some pain & im not high from it. I believe subutex is a miracle drug.

Dear Tesed and failed, thank you 4 replying 2 my post. At least I know I'm not alone in this. I take 3 (8 mg) a day. But that's what it takes 4 my pain and addiction. And, if I have 2 stay on it, I will. Good Luck 2 you! Do u plan on staying on it, or, tapering off?
