Comment on Suboxone vs. Methadone by AC

I was addicted to oxycodone for about 6 years. I had to have reconstructive surgery on my jaw and quickly fell in love with the feeling I got from the pain meds. At first, it was 1-2 a day and if I didn’t have them no problem. In the end, it was 15-20 15mg perks per day. I called a Suboxone doctor and admitted to the program. I was determined to get off the pills but I couldn’t make it through the withdrawals because I had two jobs and couldn’t be in bed for two weeks. I told myself I would use the Suboxone for 1.5 years. I made it off in 14 months and have been off for two months now. I have never used a pain pill since my first day at the Suboxone doctor. I got a job with my degree and am doing well. I thought it would never end but if you put your mind to it you can do it.

seems like one scam after another goes on but the pharmacy people and the doctors are making big big bucks off of people who believe in them. dont get me wrong some doctors dont do this. i just heard doctors are getting into the new sensation its a big money maker and its sweeping doctors off their feet. no more hospital calls no more late hours no more sick people and their making more money then they ever could selling suboxone to drug addics. or should i say giving them permission to purchase suboxzone. offices are cropping up all over the place now. theres a suboxzone doctor on every corner they may get as wide spread as bars did in neighborhoods through out the cities to accomodate addics and get rich doin it. dont ever forget unless you enter a qualified rehabb you will never get well again. one way to overcome addiction is rehabs.

I would not suggest taking too much of the immodium….I took the dosage that some of the ppl suggested on here nd although it did help with some of the symptoms it also made me sick as a dog nd every time I had thought about it made me severely sick to my stomach…..I would only take the recommended dosage that it tells u to on he box or u will get very sick from taking too much of it

If you are using Hydrocodone or Oxycodone (Vicodin or Percocet) then chances are you are destroying your liver. I strongly suggest that you offset that with 1000 mg of Milk Thistle-an herb you can purchase at Dollar General for $5 a bottle. When you have real pain due to an injury or disease it is necessary to take some type of pain medication as your body cannot fight the pain and the injury simultaneously. Those diagnosed with chronic pain should be under the care of a pain management clinic so they are moved on to more appropriate pain medication without the Tylenol compound that destroys the liver. If you take pain medication when you do not have actual pain, the opiate causes euphoria or a high feeling that is very addictive. Even the strongest person is susceptible to addiction after continued use. I used pain medication to ease emotional pain caused by the unexpected death of my spouse. It worked initially and I may not have lived through the pain without it, but the price you pay for opiate addiction is so high (no pun intended) that the ONLY WAY to get your life back, when you are abusing heroin, is through Suboxone in my opinion. My experience and observation is that people who are serious about getting better use Suboxone and people who can’t give up the high use Methadone. We used to call it the ‘nodding drug’ because, like heroin, the person under the influence of methadone just ‘nods off’ mid-sentence. Suboxone on the other hand does not produce that effect, in fact I could take 30 Suboxone and maybe get sick but it is impossible to get high. I have been weaned off of Suboxone a few times and go back on it whenever I go through a difficult time in life where I am tempted to use opiates to feel better. I am convinced that long term opiate abuse like mine changes your brain chemistry leaving you susceptible to repeated opiate abuse. However, Suboxone is also very expensive and so are the Physicians licensed to prescribe it. The manufacturer, Reckitt Benckiser, is not here to help anyone-they care only about how much profit they can make. As soon as their patent was running out where a less expensive generic tablet would have been available, they came out with FILM, and have all but discontinued the tablet. It’s sad that society has come to this. My compassion to all of you still suffering from opiate addiction-it is a soul destroying disease that does not stop itself. Suboxone is not perfect but it WILL give you back your life.

Yes it really works, I took 40mg lop an hour after tAkING 3 of the tagamet, at two hours didn’t feel anything and decided to take 20 more miligrams, now its been 4 hours and I feel great. I don’t have explosive energy like I get from sniffing a little dope but I feel like I would on 2-4 mg suboxone ( if u have a tolerance) not high persay but I feel great
