Suboxone Abuse (Page 11)

My son has been on suboxone for over 1 year now. He was a herion addict for over 12 years. Been clean off and on during that time. I have seen a personality change in him which is almost intolerable. It is like he is fine one minute and then goes off the wall the next. Has anyone who has been on suboxon or knows someone who has been seen a personality change.

I am going through this now with my fiance, I was on the internet trying to research and saw this. It has been two weeks of hell, he is a total different person, has even been talking about leaving me. Very rude and hateful, also says rude things. Totally out of character. He was on methadone before, we have been together almost 4 years.he was very loving , and nice. I have never seen anything like this in my life. Have you figured anything out?

Hello James! I, too, was an opoid addict (6 fiorinal with codeine a day for 2 years). I finally went to the doctor for my 'regular' visit and told my doctor I wanted to quit. He immediately put me on 8/2 Suboxone. I, too, thought all was well but stupid me for not researching this evil substance before taking it. I was on it for 7 months and just recently weaned myself off completely. I should say that I cut my amount down to .25 and took that for 5 days then quit cold turkey. As of today it has been 4 days of not taking it and I'm pretty much ok as far as symptoms. My detox symptoms are lethargy, weak legs during the day and RLS at night. But they haven't been debilitating. I'm just sharing my experience but please know that I completely GET what you were trying to convey...the agony you experienced humbled you and 'humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less'. In a nutshell, no more King Baby :-). I'm happy for you and I'm happy for myself.

All the talk about addiction ha your referring to drug pushers.Who do you think the Doctors are?They just do what they are trained to do and that is what you are all doing.You have to take control of your life.Get away from the medical model.Learn about eating health foods clean water open your minds to the possibility of change.This is the intentional destruction of Amerika and the West.

Started out taking hydrocodone for back pain.as time went on I developed a strong tolerance. Soon 3 or 4 roxy 30,s a day.a friend introduced me to suboxine. It did get me off pain meds.and the mental addiction off the high. But now I'm struggling to get off suboxine.i feel it mite have saved my life.I was on the road to intravenous drug use.so I knew I had to make a change.but God please help me drop suboxine. My prayers go out to anyone struggling with opioid addiction.
