The withdrawls suck n yes suboxone can help with the withdrawal after the opiate is outta ur system. I tried taking suboxone once before going to rehab a second time n getting clean n put on suboxone for over two n a half yrs. N when I took it when I first started feeling sick it made me worse n I had to get high to stop withdrawaling. I was a  horrible heroin addict for a little over three yrs. I'd try to stop last a week or two n do it all over again. When I finally got on suboxone legitly I had already been clean about a month. It never got me high like everyone says it does. It just made me feel normal, which is what the drugs did for me in the first place. Make me feel like I was ok n not anxious, or withdrawn from myself n my emotions n thoughts, n gave me the motivation n energy to start the day n be productive. I been off it for a week now. I'm not withdrawling cuz I think I cut myself down enough to make it ok, but I don't feel normal anymore. I stopped feeling normal about 4-5 days after I took the last half I had. I didn't have insurance for the past yr n been paying cash to see my dr, the suboxone, n drug tests he gives damn near everytime I'm there, n now the insurance I have that's supposedly supposed to be saving ppl money is actually more than what I was paying for all that. N I understand that it is gunna be more or about the same cost cuz insurance covers a wide variety of things, but I was already struggling to get my meds in the first place n its just become increasingly difficult to come up with money to support my kid on my own, pay all the bills on my own, n pay about 400$ a month just for 15 suboxone a month. It doesn't make any sense to force me to get insurance n then not being able to afford to go to the  cuz the insurance company doesn't have programs specifically for suboxone. They charging me n only me 265$ a month for dental n health, charge 35$ to see my dr. An addiction specialist/ pain management n another 35$ for the meds them self. I don't have that kinda money like that. I'm already doing a job that pays better than most but its not a guaranteed income every day. Its all tips, so one day I could leave with less than I came with n other days I can leave with a week of a regular paying job's pay. Its really bad lately cuz the snow n cold. N I already had to take a 2k loan out to pay the bills n get groceries for the baby. Is it true that u can buy solubixone without a prescription from Walgreens if  with the  paying full price in cash? They have always been a lil less than affectionate but they both might be on their full on rag, but hey to each its own.

Make sure your taking the suboxone under the tounge and letting it dissolve. Just try one pill first....im not saying you should take this amount but the avg amount of mlgs a opiate addict needs is usually 16 mlgs. Thats about as much as I can help man.

You're right. We all have to hit an acceptable bottom. It's great that your Mom is in AA. Rely on her wisdom and find your path within the program. I think it's so cool when I see generations of people coming into AA or NA meetings. Good luck and God bless....

They will help. I won't go into further specifics but I'll say that your plan sounds a good as you can possibly do. Are you planning any aftercare at all? I know that therapists are probably out of the question due to resources, but NA and AA meetings are free.

Tim, you're going to find people reluctant to give much advice on using Suboxone not under a doctor's care. I understand the desperation when it comes to withdrawals. I was a Sub user for over a year myself. But, you absolutely must get to a Sub doctor and use these as directed if you want success. There are just too many variables that need to be seen about and addressed. For example, you say you were taking 2 60mg Oxycontins a day for a month. There has to have been some sort of drug use before that to get to that point. That's information that a doctor needs to know in order to understand your current situation. Get some help and do the Sub program correctly and you'll have a legitimate shot at recovery.
