I have noticed you and you have given a lot of real help - I did think you were older - I guess because of florida ....

thanks to all who have been true-
All the best,

I took Sub for 10 days... helped me alot.. I am off now for 16 days and off hydro for 26 days... I feel good... I will warn you.. I did have some sweats and chills for a day when I quit the Sub.. took about 2 days to feel it then it hit me.. I thought I was gonna be in trouble but it went away fast...
Welcome... I hope to hear more of your story..
i finally found something that did not get me high but took care of the withdrawels- cost me a lot of $ but every 2 weeks my packaged arrived.
then I was taking so much of this junk that i would run out and then have to wait 5 days for the package toarrive - I would fake back injuries and get a 30 pill tyleinol 4 script but that would not last 5 days - my bottom came when i went to the emergecy room and went through xrays and mri's... and I was given 7 tylenol 4s - that was so degrading- i had no choice but to stop - i researched suboxone 3 years before today so I had a list of dr.s - now with no choice i began to call the list of dr.s - not so easy since a lot of the #;s were not available - anyway found a dr. that took the time to be honest - made me sweat with the truth-- cost to see him then the cost of suboxone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well anyway i began the sub and now realize that I have a libido again but with the good comes the bad- I am an addict and need help - this and a 12 step program is needed- I still would love to pop those devil pills.
I want to thank you - you are the only person who actually responded to me-
I do not understand the drama of today especially with the amount of pain I am going through - i need to be honest - my fears and my faults - I need people like you --------thank you,
Steve
I am proud that you are taking those first steps to get your life back on track. Your Sub doc is not trying to talk you into taking it for a few months is he?? Don't do it... I did a lot of research on it b4 i took it and anyone who stayed on it longer than 6 weeks had a really hard time getting off of it... since it has such a long half life the WD can last a long time.. What dose are you taking per day?? I started at 6mgs and tapered after the 3rd day... it was really easy. I couldn't believe how easy it was... after 4 days of being off of it I felt great...and even now i feel really good.. I am also taking a nutritional supplement program for pain pill addicts... that has helped alot..
If you need anything please don't hesitate to post to me... there are alot of others here to that are full of support and are also trying to do what you are doing... Keep me posted on your progress.. I will be here for awhile tonight and I am here alot in general... You should post tommorrow and introduce yourself.. It will be a new day.. new start.. for you and the forum..
XOXO
