I don't understand... Why take sub ?  What I read this drug does not make you high. You don't wany pain pills, etc. Why is he running out when the more u take it does nothing.  Thanks, carol2060

I don't know much about sub except from what I have read on here. I read that sub is a strong narcotic and although you may not get the same high as other opiates it can make you high. What dose is he on? Maybe his dose isn't high enough to keep the withdrawals away. Someone with some knowledge on sub will post with better answers.

I'm on day two of suboxone. I have read so much back and forth some good some junk. I have lost everything and my wife has disposed of me. Im in a hotel and i when to the sit suboxone,com  I called he number for help and they called around for sub DR's most were a joke 5 to8 weeks. or you have to be off the pills for 2 weeks? WTF is the point anyone ever go through W/D from oxy. I got a DR he just needed me to have started W/D i thought i couldn't do that what choice do I have. now is the time to turn it around. i went in he took a pee test. and i payed cash he sat me down and talked to me for an hr. checked me out and understood were I was in my consumption of oxy, he gave me a plan a calender to follow on suboxone. 2 8mg a day for 4days, 1/2 4 times a day 4 days, half 2 times a day 4 days. half for 4 days.  right now its working 2 pills a day thats easy. i keep hearing all the ugly story it doesn't work its bad. forget it. people on it for 6 years etc...All I know is this is it it has to work. im at the end of everything. I have a beautiful wife luck i was able to land that girl and she is done and wont talk to me. i lost me 130,000 dollar a year job in the same day thats right hrs apart i got a test from her. and then an email. so im sitting in a hotel and completely going through it. crying and all of it man. god this has to work I saw my self in the mirror i look like a drug attic  i lost 35 pound in a matter of 2 months. im a big guy athletic. i look like im done. I know its not going to be easy it cant be it doesn't work like that nothing does. it took me 2 years of eating thousands of 10/325 pills and being coming monster at times with those pills i ignored my wife sex one every 6 months always bitching and even yelling at stupid stuff stomping off and leaving for a hotel for what i cant even remember one i was there. I asked her for help only a month ago i new it was getting bad and going to the next level. she did nothing. why? she is taking them too for a blown disk in her neck surgery and all . but she has taken them for a couple years and i saw the increase i gave her 12 10/325 on wed by Friday she was asking me if i had any I new she was hooked. i saw her both of us on a Saturday morning with out them couldn't get them until Monday, nether one of us could get out of bead sick and no energy start of W/D....She said im sick of you and im done get out. i new it was the pills and she said i dont care. i believe she is protecting them. she will kick me out to protect the pills and the subscriptions. she said i dont have a problem thay dont affect me like that you are an attic. some one please tell me in my fog that im not crazy she is addicted and protecting them at all cost. i know i would have done anything to protect my prescription and my pills.  I know I am going off some sorry, i just think as i get a little more clear im seeing things we are both attics right? she is going to need help right sooner or later. I saw wed she called the pain dr i know its time for a refill. I need to have this work man, it has to guys the sub has to let me get through the withdraws. how long until they are completely over.  I just feel like I need to be the one to stop and save both of us. this real life happening now. god help us both sorry for rampaging.  Iam a disabled vet with back injury what scares me more is her daughters.  they both abuse drugs and alcohol  and would deny to any one right now there mom has no problem i do and they hate me. they are not very bright. someone that know tell me im not crazy  and she is protecting them the pills.  sorry for the really bad grammar.

hope im not lost on this comment. like i mentioned I'\m in the middle of day 3 detox and W/D. why the suboxone. well in between my prescriptions i have gone i think 3 day or 4 dont remember I thought i was going to die and was made i didn't   i was detoxing and withdrawals were so bad. I have to do this now, im an inch frome the street, i just talked to a couple people on line and got a dr that dose this program, definition of it help ease the W/D makes it more bearable. blocks the end of the receptors i read a paper on the chemical make up and the damage oxy dose it burns out the end of you receptors and and you endorphins stop producing. that is were the depression and the no energy  part comes from.i don;t have it all here. the sub is supposed to heal this over time this is what i read and not from a blog. the dr told me it will make things bearable not completely stop the horrible feeling and pain but make it easier. so I want every chance i can get to beat this. I'm on a 15 day detox plan with the sub, its not a maintenance its a detox, so the way he wrote out the plan and the quick cut back on it I'm hoping it will help a lot.
so far day 4 with out pills i would be on the floor right now in a puddle of sweat and freezing feeling like my bones and insides were coming apart... and thinking with everything else falling apart in my life death would.   look pretty good at least thats what i would be shouting. the sub makes me dizzy and light headed bad at first that why they recommend you stay in one place for the first 2 days. i have heard about the draws from the sub but the mixed messages is most have taken it for months and years. so yes i could see that, not like i know but makes sense. the DR handles a lot of this he was really up on his stuff for sure. i asked an he seemed to think its a good thing. he handed me outside support group and even a physiologist and gave me a lot of advice.  the W/D are there hot cold and not sleeping at all sorry for my grammar but its manageable,,,wish i would have done this even a week sooner i would be home next to my wife instead of alone in a hotel, wandering how to put it all back together. n it will be easy to say screw it screw the world but i was a slave to the pills, I'm glad i found this place it helps to keep my mind on something besides  dwelling  wasting for the day to be over ...
