Same with me and my husband . He was addicted to pills for a long time . Finally got on subs . I started too when I was having issues with lortabs . He essentially said here trust me , This will help . And it has . We both don’t seek pain pills anymore . And we are stable and happy

I need your help

I completely agree with this!!! 10 years clean here and I’m good with it. I had 4 years clean without subs once, and I relapsed. After that relapse I started the subs and now it’s been 10 since then. I have had more success all around, more promotions at work, making more money, and literally the life of my dreams way beyond than when I was 4 years without them. Not many people feel this way or talk about them like this, so I’m grateful to see another woman “good with it for life”…feeling a lot less alone 🙏 congratulations to you and hubs and keep on keepin on. 💞

I am a huge fan of Suboxone it works for me it has been a yr now my life is completely different what a life saver

YES 6 year opiate addiction to hydrocodone that resulted in liver disease (cirrhosis) I take suboxone 4mg so 1:2 a strip daily as needed for a few months here and there the wein off for a couple months. So I take as needdd and I’m working back as a medical asst, got my first home, and now share custody with my kids! SAVED NY LFE TOO!!

Exactly

Yes, if you need it for life, you need it for life.

If your still craving your still craving

I’m jealous I’m trying to get help but cannot afford any programs

No insurance nothing I’m so fucked 6 years of this hell

yeah brother oxy's fucked! at first its pretty strong but bro i got to the point of taking 300mg doses, yes you heard that right i would take one 300mg dose. thats 30*10mg (pinks) once in the morning and once in the evening. suboxones amazing!

@@eliyahutzafir4485 good luck. Be strong. U are not alone. We out here

I've been on methadone on off for over 20 years and was on 50mg I've mic

How true !

How is going bro how long did u tapper and What dose did u take etc

💪

@@Mrxleif I started at 16mg but I just listened to my body and made a rule that I could go back up to my previous dose if I felt sick but not more then the previous dose ever and stuck to my plan. I could have tappored longer but when I felt good at .25mg dose for 48 hrs went for it.

@@str82lumbridge36 that’s incredible!! I really want to tappor soon I’m just terrified. Great for you!

@@CarolMobley04 thanks alot! If you want it don't just think about it step in to that role. I was scared too but I also was scared to get on suboxone from harder stuff. Just be patient and forgiving with yourself. God bless

Stay strong and good lick

In my state I believe they will only give 2 a day I'm glad you are feeling better

@@jeannetteburns1297 thank u. And yea I guess ur state has ent had enough fentanyl overdoses. There’s no harm in saturating the receptors with bupe cus of the lack of respiratory depression. And addicts tend to discontinue thre bupe if they aren’t feeling 100% from it. But with 3 a day that 100% is possible and it feels great.

@@ilikepasta99 I have to agree with you I'm from Maine and I'm so grateful for Suboxone it's changed me for the best. Blessings to you

@@jeannetteburns1297that’s crazy the state limits the amount. It’s also crazy anybody needs higher than 8 mg as a maintenance dose. I just looked up the guidelines. It seems I was wrong. Higher doses are needed because of fentanyl

🙏

@@DrBAddictionRecovery 🙂🙏

Sounds almost like my story, been on suboxone for (legitimately) a year, have a 2 yr old baby girl and one on the way and kicked a 12 yr opiate addiction.. Best of luck with your family and recovery. 👊🏻

🙏

I think ur doin great thats a perfect amount to take its way over prescribed I take 2 every a.m and am gonna cut .25 in a week if u very slowly cut down u can maybe get to just 1 mg if u wanted but do whays best for u as long as ur staying clean keep doing what works. Good work man

🙏

🙏

I feel the same. If I have to take this life changing med for life after 57 years of living substandard but MUCH worse when I found opiods. Me go off suboxone?? Well nope!! I want a sober happy life, I'm not taking any chances.

That is fine. As your provider about the constipation

Yeah the constipation is painful dand a stool softener is a must have

Bump your magnesium

​@@pinealeye8578.....it's not for every day use ..... , says so on all constipation OTC meds . Eat beans and Cabbage !

Fiber!!! Fiber!!!

It seems she is building trust

It is an opiate. The patch is fda approved for pain. The sublingual is often used off label as such

I run a methadone clinic in Hollywood do I understand you. Keep up the good work

@@DrBAddictionRecovery ur a gd man and definitely in the right field, as you seem very caring, kind n helpful. Any patient of yours is blessed, im here in toronto and im blesed to also have a gr8 methadone dr.. thnx for taking time to msg me back dr B

Nothing wrong with playing the system, as it's playing itself. Rockefeller medicine is a century long crime against humanity

whats the side effects of naloxone?

@@TheMatrixgod nothing it's not even active just excuse to get high

They don't reccomend it during pregnancy. They gave me subutex immediately each time I informed them of a pregnancy. I wasnt getting high but it's either a risk to the baby or they aren't sure of the risk which is why they don't want to give it to pregnant women. Same with other meds. It's possible they're fine but when they are unsure or if something is a new drug they generally will take you off of something.

👊 '505' 👍

The percentage is small. It does take a long time. They do lower the dose drastically. That is honest truth at this tine

@@DrBAddictionRecovery Awesome, thanks for all the great information. There is a lot of misinformation as you have already stated. I have a lot of experience with this but hopefully not to much longer though ha ha

Amen....same way I feel!!

the expiration date is just a clinical / lab thing. theoretically, the medication should still be fine. :)

The therapeutic relationship is between you and your doctor, not the relief worker. Don't let outside influences sabotage part of your recovery-- it's yours, and not someone elses. Other peoples pressure about stopping MAT may not be fuelled by medical concern, but an ideological issue arising out of well-meaning ignorance. Does the relief worker have any particular insights as to why you need to think about coming off, especially if you feel this way? It's possible that their comments come from seeing you doing better over this year. At the first signs of doing better, we don't usually encourage someone with depression to stop taking their anti-depressant. It's often acknowledged as the drug serving it's purpose in treating depression. We don't even tell someone with depression, after being on sertraline for 15 years, that a lack of major depressive episodes is evidence enough to stop taking it, either. That same perspective and understanding isn't applied equally to MAT for any substance use disorder.

Glad you agree that 32mg or even more is possible. I am on 32mg but I am a big guy and have very painful conditions. Tried being off even for a year or two but it was too much and effected my quality of life.

I suggest that you increase your dosage. I am willing to say you may have trauma, maybe you don't remember it because trauma is why we become addicted as my understanding is. Do you see a therapist or anyone who you can talk to? I remembered a traumatic encounter with a Pederast priest and my unconscious submerged it until last year, so be open minded to going up on your dosage and talking with someone. My physician had me on #5 8/2 suboxone tabs back in 2004, so there is no ceiling or maximum dosage. P.S. *look into sublocade, it's a monthly injection of 100mg's or 300mgs n I guess that they may give 2 100mg injections so this is a newer and much stronger way to be cured of this death sentence known as addiction

Yes asap

I'm just another addict in recovery & I believe that the buprenoephine is the cure, meaning that your disease is in remission AZ long as you keep taking the cure for it. What happens to a diabetic without insulin? The get a host of medical issues and possibly may lose limbs or worse. I'm a strong believer that no full fledged addict can live a worthwhile life without medication assisted treatment (MAT). I believe in this because I'm a 27 year I.V. user a whom now had collapsed veins from mainlining every half hour for more than a decade. Every one I know whom isn't dead is taking something akin to suboxone. EVERYONE. If your embarrassed by taking it you shouldn't be, I do not know your background but it's death out there n on very street corner are bags that will kill you for less than a dollar or two. Please understand that you are not the only one. Takingva medicine that puts this insidious disease in remission is a beautiful thing and it is no one's business but you and your doctors. If anyone asks it just not their business and you should keep putting one foot ahead of the other & recover as best as you can, the sky is the limit and soo much is possible when not using. Ixwish you strength, hope & open mindedness for luck has nothing to do in this life to death disease. Keep up the faith, n you are very lucky to not be homeless or in jail or dead. That's why I suggest not titration downward. 🙏✌️

Those perc 30's are pressed Fentanyl, so understand that buprenorphine is much better. And no you're not treating one addiction for another you're taking the Cure

@@pinealeye8578 not every 30 mg roxy is a fake pressed pill my guy. There’s plenty real scripts out there if you know the way about that

@@pinealeye8578 wrong you aren't clean

@@slow_mo_shin6208 if you don't see the person pick up a 30mg oxycodone from the pharmacy with your eyes, not someone whom is selling that shit your buying fake ones with 80% certainty. And the Roxicodones are actually 26mgs of active oxycodone from the ingredient. Look on the back of your bottle friend.

I am paranoid schizophrenia afflicted and it ‘TIGHTENS’ up my thinking! I’m still hallucinating 24 hours a day but I can talk without fragmentation!

Yes and Gavin Patton it helped me out because when I quit taking subs I could not sleep I would shake but just like everything else you cannot stay on it for too long

sublocade is your friend with this - painless, and makes it 100x easier than tapering

I agree with you 100% man .. having chronic pain sucks and we should be allowed to have opiates to dull the pain. Drs + the govt act like if they deny opiates to pain patients, the opioid epidemic will go away. But that’s super far from the truth, people are just turning to fent and dropping like flies. It’s awful

Brian,I'am 69, (45 years on pure hero),living S.E.Asia,pure staff. Medical error injection in my sciatic nerves let me criplled for life.Nothing compare to your sufferings.100+ withdrawals,thousands nights awake,feeble as a fresh dogshit,suicidal periods ,you know all of that Brian,maybe 10 times more severe than mine. Always trying opioids,big shit to withdraw,so always coming back to my "China white" laotian hero,98%,for now 5 years non stop. Then,a week ago,I decided to stop dry.😢 Knowing what I will have to face with my painfull half dead right leg(I need walls,tables,)to go from my bed to my 3meters distant toilets,without them I crash on the ground.Then,heart attack 3 years ago,signing a paper for letting me go out of hospital at my risks,I no want medecine,just leave me alone.Then,one year ago,gangrena on my right foot,the Shaman of the little village stopped it,I just loose half small toe and quarter big toe. 7th day today no hero,nothing.Hard journey,but I will do it or my maker will pull me out of this life,we will see. So my friend,You know what's mean suffering,we are brother in arms,I must be older than you but writing this to you keeps my mind bizzy for a while....I will gather enough strenght to go from my couch to my table,appetite is coming by today(a little) Sorry for mistakes,I am french speaker. I hope you still alive and not so bad,take care bro.😊

@@drewh6979 hey Ive recently relapsed and now I can't take my Subutex because every time I take 1 I go into horrible withdrawal. I've waited 2 full days and still can't take them. I feel like I'm stuck on heroin again and I want to be done so bad. Any help???

@@curtisadams925 you relapsed on what exactly?

Heroin

@@curtisadams925 nice, very healthy!

​@@curtisadams925.... same here . Try Opium , its easier , due to shorthalf life ..

I had a real hard time getting off the Suboxone/ Subtex . I use Opium now , and tapering it . I will pull a Tonto and go off range soon . Half life of Suboxone is a killer ! Maranatha !

What did you end up doing? What worked?

Jesus Christ, that was hard to read. Try using some periods and commas to break things up. It'll help your withdrawals to puntcuate!

@@drewh6979 did you understand what I wrote ? I don’t see a need for periods or commas takes too long I’m not taking a grammar test if you understand what I said which I’m sure you did does it actually matter?

When you're ready, look into sublocade. There is good anecdotal evidence from patients and doctors that it is an effective tool for finalizing your taper off of buprenorphine.

@@TehDarkPrince I will look into it thank you 🙏🏼

​@@Wiccansway212...... I understood you ! Peace , from Cass County Michigan ! Maranatha !

Me too

Same here ended up in er confused hives ect hospitized 3 days . Took pills for years never felt that way till took that stuff

@@603adventures9 There is a shot against urticaria. Which is expensive but very useful. It's called Xolair, you get 2 shots (tiny) in each arm, once a month. 👍
