WHY???HELP

[Andi85]

I live in southeren louisiana. I have been trying to get off these pain killers for so long. But, no one wants to help. I've tried facilities but, they are all booked up. And unless you can pay 1,500.00 a day you aren't getting in anyway. so, i heard about suboxone/ subutex. but no one here knows anything about it or will prescribe it.  I really want to not be like this. if anyone has any suggestions , please let me know. im going crazy here.

I so agree with worried, you have to really want this...do it for yourself....

Hey there, I am from South Arkansas...just wanted to say HI and hey 11 days clean is great!  My hubby has a guy that works for him that they call "Haughton"..Small world. How far are you from Shreveport...heard they have some good help there...If you have made it 11 days...you are doing GREAT...Make sure you drinks lots or water, I even used green tea..take vits and eat healthly..try to walk, get exercise, even though you think you dont feel like it..I promise it helps...sooo much..hang in there...you can do this...the good folks around here helped me thru my wds and I know they will help you...

thanks to eveyone for getting back to me on this. i was on 160mg of methadone, 150mg of roxicodone, a day. its im doing better now. it took a while for the methadone to get out of my system. im not going to use suboxone. i really need to do this . i live about 4 hours from houston. not very, but far enough not to be able to go twice a month. or whatever, you know. i cant thank you guys enough. no one know anything around here. thats why people dont get help. its so hard.

lots depends on ur dose..and suboxone can help some..and it can hurt some as well....no one can get u off of the pills in the long run cept u tho...rehabs and all the money can not get u off of them/they can help as sub can help..but ultimately u have to be the one to do the work..and good luck to u..keep posting as there is lots of support here

I happen to have been on sub 13 months and im now clean for just over a month, there is good in sub and bad in sub DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!!!! Sub helped me and i really didnt have ant problems my sub dr is very good and takes a interest in his patients and he said he had 2 people that had any problems while on sub and they were not following his directions. On my experience alone i would recommend trying sub but YOU need to look at the other post on here and research sub as best you can. Good Luck Too You

Please read about sub before jumping into that decision. Read the pros and cons because it can come with it's own problems too. I just saw your 11 days clean on your tracker? If you have made it that far, why would you want sub. If you can't get into a facility there are other options available. Do you have any more info about your use? How much and what were you using and how long?

How far are you from Houston? There are many sub docs around here.

Hi, just wanted to say that there are others on here who have used that,  they will be along and tell you what they know.  
  I have a good friend from Haughton,  by the way.

  Please read all the posts you can and gather information about withdrawl.  The Thomas Recipe, lower right(scroll down)  some have said it's helped.  I used Clonidine the first several days, it helped keep me in my skin.  It's a blood pressure med, a dr. of mine prescribed about 12 of them for me.  I also had a few tranzene.  And of course the regular stuff, immodium, tums, otc pain meds.
Keep posting
Hugs
