I've been on Suboxone for about 2 mths. I had been on pain pills for 6 yrs. I have been on this site for like 4 hours reading post after post about Suboxone and drugs you know all the normal stuff you look at your first time. what I'm confused about is there are one group of people who I guess think it it the worst thing ever you konw coming off of it and stuff and then theres the other group that says it's not so bad. i've read that it's the strongest opiate then i have read that it's not as strong as some others. I'm not the most well informed and sorta naive, but I was so thrilled (i mean i cried when my name came up on the waiting list after 7 mths and i got the call) It so far has been a life saver. My bills sre caught up. I got to spend my income tax return on something instead of it all going up my nose. And now hell I don't know what to think I guess I'd like to read that somebody hasn't had a worse experience on it than what they were getting away from in the beginning. If anybody has any help or advise please i'd love to hear it.

Mom, 2 months huh? I am in the second group of people you mentioned mind you. My advice to you is start to taper off of it as soon as possible. I believe that the longer you take it the longer it stays in your system and the worse the wds will be when you eventually do decide to get off. So start to taper down. Don't jump off at 2mgs either, actually break that down into little tiny pieces and that will work to trick your brain, I'm telling you. Check out my posts to peep my experience if you want to. Best of luck to you.

Thanks for the help. I honestly had know idea about the withdrawl. That's what I meant about naieve and unimformed. I had no idea until my boyfriend got on here. My doctor has an unending program. There are people who have been on since he started. Now I guess I know why. I only take about a quarter of one a day anyway, so it shouldn't be too hard to wean myself off. I do know that given I my situation being a mother and all I can't go back to the way things were. Thanks again for the advice.

Hi there. Can you tell me how small you think you can break that 2 mg piece into? LIke how small can it be? I'd like to know because I think that it would help to do it but I'd like to know precisely how small. Thanks!

I've been on suboxone since it first came out 8 or so years ago. It helped me to Stop abusing opiates. I used for many years and spent nearly 100,000 dollars on several different rehab attempts. Not to mention the money wasted on the opiates. I have not had horrible withdrawal
when off this med, I believe getting of the opiates is primary because I was able to
get my life back and be a parent to my
children. For those who state it is a horrible med, I have one question, were the opiates a better choice?
