day 5 Suboxone=clean!

[cbs82]

the past 2 weeks i have been trying to get off hydros,been addicted over 2yrs.and if you would of asked me a month ago i would have had no desire to quit,and i thought it would of been imposible for me to go a day w/o a hydro let alone 2 or 3.I had been tapering way down for a week or so up until 12-4,then i went to the doc on 12-5,he put me on suboxone,and I HAVE BEEN CLEAN FOR 5 DAYS NOW!and really no cravings for hydro,i feel great and nothing but motovation to stay clean,this med is working good for me.I really hate the fact that you have to dissolve the pill though it tastes horrible.and he gave me some trazodone to help the depression and help sleep.anyway i reccomend this stuff because i had no clue how the hell i was going to get off hydros and here i am.good luck to you all

I was on it a short time.  25 days.   The withdrawal was almost more than i could bear.  Make sure they don't wean you off too fast.  I had depression like i never new possible and aniety for 5 or 6 weeks.  Now just once in awhile. I have been off sub for 2 mos. and 3 days. good wishes. TJack

Yes it is.

[lurker]

yes, Suboxone is an opiate - it's mechanism of action is different that Norco, Oxy, Vicodin, etc but it is an opiate.

[addictedme]

is suboxone an opiate?

[avisg]

how long do you plan on taking it before you wean off of it and become opiate free?

Excellent,youre doin great.Suboxone/subutex in Ontario,Canada received approval,so far our Gouverment has not sanctioned its reliesh to the public.I believe this drug to be a major breakthrough.The important thing is to use it in a tapering cycle of 6 weeks to opiate free lifestyle,followed by a program of after care N.A. counciling some form of therapy. This forum in my opinion is great . Cheers john

Good Luck to you also. I hope you did your homework and know what you are taking. Also hope you have a plan to wean off. Again, best of luck!!

Good going!  I too take Suboxone and it has been wonderful.  How nice is it to not have withdrawals?  Amazing if you ask me.
I have a couple questions for you.  
Do you take it once a day or more?  
How long does it take to dissolve?  
I take 8mgs once a day and it takes at least 25 minutes.  I am just curious.  Keep up the good work and don't forget to be thankful for your new found happiness.  
Keep us posted.
