suboxone therapy good vs. evil

I have alot of good info on suboxone therapy. Ive been clean for 19 months with it and will be happy to share my knowledge with those who may need it. Opiate withdrawal is pure hell and in some places its very hard to find a doc who can write this rx. Good luck and feel free to ask any questions. Im not a Dr but Ive traveled the road to recovery and just have alot of good info on suboxone.

My son has been on suboxone for 5 months.  He is taking 16mg a day, 8mg twice daily.  I have noticed that lately he has been missing a dose occasionally.  I think he just forgets about it or is not at home when it is time to take it.  He doesn't seem to have any ill effects from these missed doses.  Could this mean that his need for opiate replacement is decreasing?

Does it really help with cravings.... thats the part for me. I find just to much to resist even after a month clean. I have always gone back. I'm just so tired of being sick all the time when I can't get any. I really need to stay clean this time, I've lost too much already. We all have...

Thanks for your help!

I started suboxone on Monday and find that it really helps with w/d and cravings.  I feel really good.  Really NORMAL...  Im not sure when we will begin to really taper (per dr.) but we plan it to be quick.  Tell me all you know.  Curious if I missed something.  Im on day 4 now and will be going from 3 to 2   8mg. tablets.  My husband is on only 1 tablet a day.  we'll make it.
thanks.
