can't people take the time to write correctly instead of always using text language? People are talking about addiction and help and people rush through a response. Like asking someone for help and the person responds will walking away.

Well, for starters, nowhere does ir say that NA made up the saying about trading one drug for another. Some drug addict somewhere probably said it and it makes a lot of sense since I was also on Methadone for a peroid of time and it was the worst experience of my life. I was definately not clean!!! I was just using methadone everyday!

Suboxone is usually started a dose they figure equals whatever amoung you were abusing, to help stave off the worse withdrawals, then it is slowly tapered down.

It is, however, a very potent opiate and should not be used without a doctor's supervision.

Common side effects can include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

First off, go see your doctor before you take anything like Suboxone. It is a powerful narcotic and it isn't something that you can take for a few days and then just quit. Your opiate history isn't that long, so I think you will be ok after the suboxone (If your doctor gives it to you. We aren't doctors so none of us should be giving you advice on taking anything..I wish you the best of luck.....

I want to make clear that suboxone is not suppose to be used as a quick fix (although it does work). It is to be used for a long term 6months to a year to retrain your brain sensors that have been damaged. I have been on suboxone for about 5 months and it is amazing if you truly want to get off the opiates. It takes the craving away 99.5%, I am starting to get my life back. If you really want to stay off any kind of opiates I would reccomend it to anyone. Just like any other drug there will be withdrawls but I would not trade it for anything. My doc assures me that wheaning can be done gradually so there are 0 wd symptoms. And by the way suboxonne is not suppose to make you high, if it does you are not on the correct dosage. Suboxone can take the withdrawls away for the short term, but it is meant for long term treatment to heal brain receptors. It is amazing if used correctly.

I am posting again because I see too many people who aren't doctors giving advice, and although I am sure all of you mean well, suboxone like Verwon said is a powerful narcotic and no one should be taking it unless it is prescribed by an MD.. I am speaking from experience..I never listened to anyone so it took me many decades to get where I am now. I am a 56 year old female who did drugs from a very young age..I have been clean using Methdone maintenance since July 2002, so it took me a year before I even got on the right dose..I am not telling anyone to get on methadone, in fact I think Maintenance shouldn't be used until everything else has been tried, For opiate addicts who don't have a long history of abuse, or for someone who got hooked on painkillers after surgery, I would ask my doctor about suboxone first...I hope the OP is doing well, and remember addiction is nothing to mess with, I have buried more friends in my 56 years than my aunts and uncles have (They are in their 80's and 90's)
