Should you choose Suboxone?

Suboxone is a great option for getting clean.
Ask yourself the following;
Have I tried to taper and failed?
Have I tried cold turkey, only to relapse?
I have a job that I CANNOT take time off from?
I have other responsiblities that cannot be ignored?
I fear for my life if I continue like this?
I fear for my health if I continue like this?
I may lose everything, family, job etc. if I continue like this?
I need the time off my doc, but feeling normal, to retrain myself and get help?
I will check into other options and understand my choices thouroughly?

If you answered "yes" to even a few of these questions, SUBOXONE may be for you.
Go to SUBOXONE.COM and find a doctor near you. Read all about this option.
Make an educated decision.

I am the one who started this post, and I did not mention methadone in any way, good or bad. So don't even attempt to say I was methadone bashing.
There are also stories of people who came off Sub with little to no problems.  If done right, there should be little to no problem.
Yes, there are quack doctors out there, telling people to just jump off the Sub. That does not work.
Catchiec,  I will leave your posts alone, please do the same for mine.  I'm really growing tired of this game and you don't seem to be here for any other reason but to play this game. I never see you posting to really help people or to get help for yourself. So its getting so obvious to all, that you are just here to start trouble. Ya know the horse we keep talking about?

like bmc said...you pasting and copying others problems with sub doesnt do anyone any justice, we dont know the whole story here, they most likely jumped off at a high dose, used it wrong-weekend warrior syndrome...etc...numerous reasons why they failed at sub...but they are not here to ask these questions to now are they?
post your own experiences with sub...or dont bother.
there are plenty of posts that say people got off sub just as easy as you did methadone, but they arent here to ask...
you are not here to help anyone, you are here for your own selfish reasons and a personal vendetta with ME...it is so obvious...
and i dont see nor have i ever seen ANYONE asking YOU about anything as of yet...why?  because they know you dont have the experience or knowledge to back it up...plain AND SIMPLE...STOP EMBARRASSING YOURSELF...
this post is not asking about suboxone withdrawals at all cat...did you read the post?  yes you did!! which is why you are here stirring the pot...you know exactly why you are here and so does anyone who has had to put up with your BS...
..we have all grown so tired of you...UGH!  
you would think you would want to find a methadone forum...you would have NO problems there...this is not a forum that advocates methadone use...never has and never will...

I went back and read some old posts about methadone. From what I have read it can be just as addicting or more addicting than any other opiate and you can achieve a high from it. After reading the old posts if it is addicting I think it would be very difficult for a addict to only take it for a week or so. It's kind of like me with vicodin. Always telling myself that I was only going to get one more refill then I was done. We all know how that goes! I can just see how some could get hooked on the methadone for longer than a week and then it's too late. I also have read where methadone is so much more difficult than other weaker opiates to get off of. From what I read of suboxen is it can not produce a high if taken as it's suppose too. So from what i have read if you can be 110% positive that you can only take the methadone for 5 days and no more, maybe it's worth a try. But being addicted to opiates I don't think I can say it's worth the chance. I wish now I never would have got involved in any of this! But I've never taken either one so I'm going to get out of this conversation now!

this is nothing but a personal vendetta, and you know it..and everyone else sees it...
suboxone was the farthest thing from your mind when you came here...
everytime you bash me with my suboxone treatment, there are numerous other people you are bashing also...
there are HUGE differences between suboxone and methadone, anyone with a mind can see it,
i certainly dont have to post a thing about methadone, people just know.  but hey if you want to blame me for methadones bad reputation...whatever...who cares, you need to give the members of this forum more credit than that...they are far from stupid...they know quite a lot, including YOUR motives.

DEAD HORSE...
