I have a family member that has been taking suboxone.....he doesn't have a prescription...he buys it off the "street" I'm not sure exactly how often he takes it, but however i do know that he takes it up to 3-4 days a week. I have no idea how many mg's. He is never happy. He complains constantly and lashes out. Just recently he has cut himself twice.....in his younger years he was a cutter. He says it feels good. Not really sure where to go from here. Just looking for advice...someone to listen....seeking help now. Researching all avenues. He is also an alcoholic. Beer.

" things have calmed. I'm back home. My husband gave me his pills. I've been giving him 1/4 of suboxone a day to relieve the dope sickness......going for some kind of help tomorrow monday. Haven't decided exactly what. I kind of feel like I'm wandering around in the dark in a place I've never been before bumping into things. "
