Today I made the biggest choice of my life and seen my family doctor about my painkiller addiction.  I was in full blow withdrawal when I see him and he is going to try to Suboxone to help me get off the Vics.  I wasn't sure what to expect, but I will say this.  IT IS HELPING so much with the withdrawls symtoms.  Its like night and day.  I wanted to find some soo bad today, then just 15 mins after taken the Soboxone I was starting to feel much better.  This is my first real attempt in getting off the pills, now I need find a local support group.   I love this website and I am going to keep everyone posted on my progess.  Thats to everyone that has given me support, I am finally on my way to a better tomorrow.

I didn't see anything from Juliez111 below.. not sure what i am missing.  Also is Subutex and Suboxone the same thing, I was thinking the two were different.  I  am less then two weeks away from delivery and can't get this worry off my mind.  Once he is born I plan on continuing my recovery and work on getting off the Suboxone.
thanks for your feedback,
ann

hi sub can be a great tool if used right you need to be involved with some sort of aftercare plan use the time on sub to put your addiction on hold and work on yourself so when its time to get off you can stand on your own 2 feet if used like this im pro sub if all your doing is switching drugs it wont work for you it takes work to get clean sub is only one part of that you can make this happen but its up to you good luck and God bless........Gnarly

Wow its been a while since i've posted anything on this website.  And so much has been going on.  I found out back in sept that i was pregnant..and i am 17 days away from having our 5th son.  Today I talked with my doctor about what to expect from delivery and he wanted me to be aware that I amy not bring my son home for a while.   This tottaly caught me off guard.  I told him that I plan on nursing my son at which he said could play a huge role in my son coming home and coming off the suboxone.  The pill has saved my life but now I am sicken to think about how I just put my sons life in this situation.  My family is very supportive and are trying to keep my hopes up but I won't feel better until I have him in my arms and he's home.  I guess I'll find out soon enough.  I've been reading so much about this and found a that alot of the suboxone babies did well and didn't have to spend any additonal time in the NCIU.  If anyone knows any information on this please send it my way.  I need to read as much as I can.

It's been four three days since my last Vic.  Monday I started my Suboxone treatment and I FEEL GREAT!!!   I can't beleive it.  I am not moody or depressed, this morning I woke up for the first time with not WD systoms.  I have NO cravings or WD from not having the Vics.  I can take just one of my Sub and it's lasting me 10 hours before I start feeling the WD's.  My family can tell a difference and its only been three days.  I feel like I am now taking control back over my life.  I going to my NA meeting friday nite.  There was a point in my life not that long ago where I felt as if I would never be able to live without my Vics.... today is a different day and I feel great.  Thank God!!   For all of you out there trying to quit..don't give up.. keep looking for what is going to work best for you to get off.

      You are doing the right thing.  It will take time so don't get in a hurry.  These pain killers are killing people every day,and I no from experience that you cant kick it by yourself.  Get in on a NA meeting and listen to others stories you will hear talk that will help you.  Using this other Med. will keep you from thinking that you are losing your mind, other members will understand.  One day at a time.  Let go let God or higher power.   You can do it.
