Very quick back story. Grew up with a mom and grandma that would hand out pills for any sign of discomfort. Example, after a football game, there was grandma with the vicoden. So when getting seriously hurt while playing, the full blown junkie came out. After yrs of c**p jobs and on/off again college admissions, I think I'm responsible enough to become a father. Discovered sub, 7 years later still on it and received a degree and a great job too. I have no will power, and believe I wouldn't have grown up and been ambitious without sub. Im still ambitious, and love that I don't have to walk into a house and excuse myself to the bathroom to look for pills when I'm at a house. I stole from a pharm and even called In a script for myself (worst idea ever). I'm not super energetic or happy every single day, but at least I have a chance to feel the "normal" highs & lows instead of wondering how I'm going to get high. That was my case for staying on it, curious if others have the same experience of long term usage and if you noticed serious or common side effects years later.
