Subxone

I was addicted to Fentanyl, Vicodin and Oxy for over 8 years. 3 weeks ago I found a doctor through NABBT who perscribed Sub. First I had to get off the Fentanyl because it lasts so long in your system so he gave me 30 Norco a day for 3 days. I took my last handfull at 3:30 in the afternoon on Saturday. On Sunday morning at 7:00 I took my 1st sub. I had no withdrawls what so ever and have felt amazing for 3 weeks now. I am having no side affects and no cravings for Opiods. I hope this continues. I have tried quitting before with no luck. The longest I have ever been off the stuff in 8 years is 2 weeks. After 2 weeks I was going crazy with withdrawls, so back on the meds. It is so exciting to get up every morning and not feel like shit. LIFE IS GOOD. I hope it stays that way.

Hi!
My husband was on a Suboxone 90-day program and it worked like a gem! He had no cravings or triggers. He was his old self again. However, after he finished the program, including therapy, he started using again and that's where we are now...
He should have kept the program forever but his will power is weak. He likes getting high period. Well, he's been clean for a week now, or so I hope. Suboxone was the miracle drug for him.
It helped save our marriage...
Good luck to you and congrats on taking the step to get better!!!!

That's the things about subs, you pretty much have to stay on them forever....or quickly taper...say after 60 days or so....the drugs can only do so much, a lot of it is gonna be staying strong mentally. I love my suboxone, but it is what it is, a CRUTCH! Benn on for 3 years this April. Definitely better than the alternative. Good luck!

Have been on suboxone for two months and will do maintenance indefinately.I am in no hurry to get off of it, I trust my psyc. doc and her methods.I have done lots of research that states sub. works best when used on a long term treatment program and have recovery counseling or 12 step help.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
