Suboxone Reviews

Show: for
I have been on suboxone for a few years (for the opiates) and I think it has helped tremendously.
This treatment worked wonderfully for me - for about two weeks. I couldn't remember a time I felt so great (pre-heroin days). But, my doctor wanted me off the medication a.s.a.p. The result, a quick reduction in my dose made me feel like crud, and did not give me enough time to establish a routine without drugs in my life, so I ended up using again. I really think that if I was on this medication for a longer period of time, I would have had a great chance at success.
I have been takeing this medication since july of 2007 with no cravings pain diariea and nothoughts of going back
I can't even really explain it. I just abused it.
it works pretty damn well for me. but i need painkillers sometimes, and i get dizzy, but withdraws are gone.
Suboxone is working well for me. It keeps me from having cravings or even thinking about oxycontin etc. It has kept me from having to go through the agony of withdrawal. It has a ceiling effect, so you can't really get "high" on it, even from snorting. It doesnt take much suboxone to entirely saturate your dopamine receptors, so you can't really get high if you relapse while you're taking it. The naloxone in the suboxone pills precipitates withdrawal if the pill is crushed and injected.

Was on it for the first 6 months of recovery.
My experiences are wonderful on suboxone!
I just stopped taking subutex and am on suboxone. I like them much better than methadone, however sometimes I feel like a fraud in NA groups, ya know? Government issued narcotics are still narcotics but they did keep me off the street while I was preganant, ya know?

im not addicted to any prescription drugs, i just took suboxone because it made me feel good, and i got addicted to it :(
