And u have posted here enuf to know the sub drill
if u go there..do it safely..a few weeks tops unless u relapse over and over..but i would hate to condemn myself to a life on a maintenence narcotic like sub or methadone..if i had to i would choose methadone as it has more pain relief than sub//bot have their own evils..but having studies both...i would choose methadone cos i am a pain patient
Try hard to choose nuttin and if u do very short term..it is scary for an addict to keep using a maintenence narcotic..we need to salvage the life we have left..cos it is short/life is
I hope so too girl

and I am in ur corner and as all here are
the place i am going to specializes in chronic pain and chemical dependency. There I hope we will come up with a plan to deal with the pain. thank you for your words of wisdom.
I was prescribed Ultram 13 years ago for chronic joint pain from lupus. (I had alot of muscle pain from fibromyalgia, too. I never took more than the instructions said, but just like you, I became completely physically dependent on it. So I did the Suboxone/Subutex route. It was very difficult. In a sense you're substituting one drug for another but it's supposed to be better to taper off of. The drug has a very long half life, so you only have to take it once a day. I stayed on it for nine months. I did end up tapering to a very low dose before stopping completely. I am 5 weeks off of Subutex now. I don't regret doing the Subutex route. Maybe I was only successful because I did. But it wasn't easy. However, if you're really motivated to stop, then you can do it. I felt exactly the same as you. I was worried about the underlying pain but just had to stop the stuff any way. I hated how it made me feel and the fact that I was dependent on a stupid drug. It was a good decision for me. My pain hasn't been bad luckily. I attribute that to two things. I gave up gluten from my diet a few months ago and I noticed a huge reduction in joint pain. The other change I made was I started drinking alot more water. The joints, muscles and tissues in the body all need plenty of water to work properly. For years I hardly drank any water, so when I started, I noticed alot of improvement. Fibro muscle pain can still be pretty bad, especially when I don't get good sleep. But I will never take another pain pill again! I wish you the very best! And I congratulate you on your very wise decision to seek help!
Do u have a plan to mng ur painn when u helps the narcs..narcs do not really even a direct effet on pain..only interrupts the signal so u do not
