Suboxone Support Group Community Group
This group was started in 2008. It started as a support group for those who took Suboxone to recover from opiate abuse. It still can be that type of group, but I feel I need to state the following: I still believe in Suboxone for opiate abuse, but firmly believe that it should only be a drug that should be prescribed by a doctor that is an addiction specialist. It is not...
Ok i have been on suboxone for about 2 years, i kicked it once and it took me a little over a week and i felt frigging fantastic, then my good old friend brought over a bunch of percs and it clicked in my brain and the W/D seemed to have come back and i was back on them, but besides the point, This saturday April 11. i plan to stop taking them cold turkey so saturday will be my first clean day, and on the 21st i will be on a plan till flordia, i just want to be off this shit, i remember my first experience and it was as close to hell i have ever gotten, i meen no damn sleep always grouchy soar no energy and i did not want to interact AT ALL. anyone got any good pointers to help my journey?? i know there is nothing out there that will help me dramatically but something to ease this adventure. Iam going to be taking Multi Vitamins, E-merceny drink packets, Gatorade, and those BOOST drinks so i dont loose alot of weight....skinny as is, but yeah i told my boss i will be gone for 2 weeks so thats my time frame. please help me guys, iam going to need people to talk to too, i just want to be fucking normal i have this shit controlling my life
Lets fast forward to now. 2015. I recently was released from federal prison in Feb 2015. I did 26 months due to some choices I made at that doctors office. The rest of the office staff is in prison, the major of our town because he owned the pharmacy, the doctor will be sentenced next week. I was the first one indicted and I got the lest amount of time to due my part in the situation.
I want to say this. I BELIEVE in Suboxone for opiate abuse. I DO NOT believe that it should be given for more than a 6 month period. I use to feel different, but now I realize that everyone was right. Suboxone did become a drug of abuse. You can get high from it. And, the withdraws from it are worse than the opiates I think. Maybe not so much the mental withdraws, but physically it can be bad. I am drug free and thank God that I am. I have no desire to go back to that life ever again. You hear "you just switched one drug for another", yes and no. Prescribed by the right doctor and under the right controlled situations I feel Suboxone can save lives. You just need a very good addiction specialist to dose you.
I am not sure how this group has come along.
I started it then life got bad.....then worse. I will gladly check here regularly and offer any support I can. I ran onto this site by accident going through old computer files. Maybe that is a good thing.
Let me look through my old files. I used a special weaning schedule for patients that worked really well. I will see if I can locate it.
