Suboxone side effects

For me it was the feeling of being wrapped in the skin of a Salami - just a thin barrier between me and the truth. I long for the day that I can wake up and not need to dose to stop my sickness - Life is much better than being on the street but Suboxone isn't a walk in the park and, when it's time to detox the slower the better. Plan on at least a year of tapering. This drug is no joke. It can save your life. Suboxone Info

Thanks for posting on my blog - I tried to go to both of you dude's blogs but your profile is set to private. All I can say Cheech -Your right Tapering is a bitch. I'll tell you right now that if you've gotten off and think you can shoot up every now and then GOOD LUCK. Another helpful fact is that while your tapering or detoxing and this goes for T to. Try and get a dr. at a walk in clinic or get them on the strret if you have to. Some Xanax or Klonopin will help big time. You'll be able to sleep. They're not opiates but they are potent tranquilizers so be careful and don't take more than 3mgs at once. Stay in touch - You have to find something in lige that you love more than shooting dope 1st. Then make it your life. For me it's playing guitar and recording. Peace Out - Joey

Different Worlds

 Sometimes for those of us that are or have been seriously 

addicted to opiates it can seem like there are two different worlds in
which we live.  It can seem like us and them. It's very hard for the
non addicted to understand those of us that are addicted. We are all
just people and more alike than not. I started this blog to be a place
to promote understanding. This is a blog for drug users and addicts
(recovering or not) and non-addicts as well. Here you can voice your
feelings and get reliable information on addiction as well as recovery
methods like Suboxone & Methadone Maintenance. I can tell you what to
expect for side effects and detox symptoms too. Feel free to use the
Blog or it's group to ask about drug interactions, dosages or just to
say what's on your mind. I took me 6 years in opiate replacement to
beat my opiate addiction. After a couple of possession charges I was
court ordered into a methadone program that I spent 3 years in.  I
gradually was able to lower my methadone dose to under 50mg a day and
from there I was able to switch my treatment from methadone
maintenance to Suboxone therapy. I spent another 3 years on Suboxone.
I began tapering my dose at the beginning of the third year. After 12
months of gradually lowering my dose I was able to discontinue the
Suboxone altogether. My doctor helped me with other medications
through my detox . Specifically Ativan and Xanax. These other meds
made it possible for me to sleep and maintain some resemblance of
normality in my life despite my vulnerable position of being in the
midst of Suboxone detox. It takes several months from the time you
stop using before you truly start to feel good again and regain your
strength. Also you begin to change your outlook on the world and
things like depression and anxiety become easier to deal with. Life
can actually be good.  Here is a helpful link  http://www.heroinaddict.info 

  

Not as easy as the Dr. says.

The last part is the toughest - Going from 8mg to 4 mg a day isn't too bad. It's making that final move from 2 or 4 mgs a day to zero. Xanax Will help with your withdrawals but you will have to be careful as Xanax will send you into withdrawals as well. Xanax withdrawal done properly is a walk in the park opposed to Methadone or Suboxone detox. All I can say is don't let the world get you down. You have the strength to live a good life. If you can stay healthy what else is there to worry about. Make it your mission. You know something 90% of the rest of the world can't even begin to comprehend. If your angry, you should be. Use it to make yourself a better person. Anything in life is possible.
