I used soboxone and had not quit taking methadone and had the worse time of it in my whole life. I had to go to the emergency room but eventually started getting better, started taking methadone again because I was to afraid to take the suboxone again. My question is , if you take the suboxone and go through withdrawels , does that mean you are then free of the addiction? Does that mean you no longer need to take methadone and have become totally free?

One other thing,  once you are an addict......you are always an addict.  You may eventually get rid of the drug, even for good.  But the thoughts and patterns, they never leave.

No.  You went into w/d because you still had methadone in your system.  Suboxone is a mixture of two medications.  One of them is designed to 'push' any opiate off its receptor. (it's what we give in the ER when someone comes in with a drug OD....wakes them up immediately).

Was the suboxone prescribed?
