suboxen withdrawal syptoms

Is it true that suboxen will help me avoid the withdrawals symptoms I will have from weaning of methadone. I have been taking methadone for 3 years due to injuries and pain I suffered after a car accident. I tried going off once but I had so many problems and felt awful and I was in the middle of my exams that I had to go back just to be “normal”. I heard that suboxone could prevent these withdrawal symptoms from appearing. Any real-life experience?

Yes, it is true that Suboxone and subotex will provide pain-free abstinence from opiates because it is a maintenance medication. However, some people don’t need maintenance drugs and go very well with behavioural therapy. The problem was that you chose a really though period to wean off methadone when you were already stressed out. You should talk to your doctor about the methadone detox, about suboxone need. You also have to be careful with this drug as it is addictive itself and you may experience withdrawal when weaning off of it too.

iam 21 yrs. old a female and also with a man for four years that did drugs with me ( oxy's) we are now on suboxen and yes it helps alot. i just took to many and now iam short 15 so i have to wait to fill it agian. its hard to not have anything to help but think about this are you gonna want to have to take medicine for the rest of your life to feel normal it it sucks i hate this why did i have to even take that first pill. why??? iam currently going through withdrawls right now as i am typing and i feel like crap. just think it will be over soon.. right ihope

Why would you take more suboxone then you are supposed to take? You don't get high or a eurphoric feeling so why waste it? I just started suboxone a week a go from a 3 year long addiction to oxy, vicodin, percocet, and norco. I have had no withdrawal symptoms and mentally have not missed taking the pain meds. It really has helped me and I find that I am very happy, albeit tired!!
