addicted to percocet

Well to start i just signed up for this website and i am totally confused on how to add friends and all that so i hope it is easy to figure out...I am currently addicted to percocet and  a friend is trying to get me to take suboxone...I was just wondering if that is addicting also? Any info on suboxone would be awesome also...I have an aquaintance that goes to the methadone clinic and is trying to get me to go...I keep telling her no but she makes it sound wonderful so any info on that would be a blessing...

Hi i just wanted to say to ya if tappering down is a option for you do so then take the jump i had the same perk /oxy thing going as you im on day 8 clean and im atleast happy to know that i absolutly depend on nothing at this point the worse of thew/d is over and i dont have to worry about tring to kick somthing else and feeling like **** so if you can tapper do it then decide what you need to do but whatever it is you decide to do stay hydrayted start taking vitams and start letting anyone who can help you know what your going to be doing and if they can help you in the army we call thatr a combat multiplyer more troops you have in the fight beter chances you will have for victory !!! omg i sound like general patton lol either way give yourself a chance the 2or3or maybe4 days you mite suffer gets better everyday it truly does is better than weeks or months or years of this b.s

Suboxone can be very useful and damaging to others. Depends on your use and DOC. How much and how long have you been abusing percocet? Methadone is like suboxone in terms of help with witthdrawl but is also addicting and used for pain so that would be something to think about also. Only a doctor can tell you wich route would be best. I wouldn contact a suboxone doctor, the methadone clinic, your primary and think long and hard before makin any decison to go on any other med. Addiction is a disease and its best to find seek treatment from those who are qualified to treat it. I have been on soboxone for a long time now but i cant really say if it has helped or hurt me in the long run. Also how many times and for how long have you tried to quit before?

1. Thanks for the add :)
2.  This is just my personal opinion because I havent had a good experience but Suboxone and Subutex are way more addicting than perc.   Ive been on subutex for about a year now and from what ive read didnt get the right treatment.  Now im getting off on my own and going through withdrawal.  Its not fun and I wish I would have taken the week withdrawal from vic than this stuff.  Subutex and Suboxone are opioids.  All they do is delay the w/d.  So far I havent seen too many people who havent been taken advantage of with this medication but who knows if itll work for you or not.  

Def. dont take it just cause your friend is offering it.  Do some research like subsux.com or read around on this website, research it like its going out of style.  If your like me youll find that faith and having a couple long, warm showers are better than months and months of feeling like absolute ****.  And im only on day 2 of subutex recovery so I have lots to look forward to! ::sarcastic grin::

If I could go back and be in your position where I haddent yet started sub, i would have never gone on it.

Like I said, this is just my personal opinion.  If others have had luck then thats wonderful.  But if its just painpills that your addicted to, sub (in my experience) is way too powerful
