I've been on for around 2 months myself @ 16MG/day. A lot of people tell me it's a high dosage but I was also shooting 3 grams, so high dosage or not, its working great and it's the reason this thread is even being made.
My Dr. came to me the other day and asked if I wanted to go 6 or 12 months when it comes to getting off the Suboxone. The more I think about it, the more I feel I'd rather stay on Suboxone AS LONG AS POSSIBLE because it has completely killed the urge to use. Of course you have those people who say that Subox is an Opiate and that you should get off ASAP! where were those people when I was shooting dope every day for years? spending 100-200 daily. doing whacky shit to get that cash, etc. so for the $15/mo it cost to get my Subox, sometimes $30, I think I am cool spending as MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE USING!
I do trust myself at this point, even tho it's still very early; although, I do feel it has alot to do w/ the Subox. Over the last 2 months I think I was late on 1 dosage and sure, the idea of dope came to mind but I took Subox soon after and it was GONE! and that right there is exactly why I don't want to rush off this stuff just to start craving and god knows.. ya know!? I am finally living a "normal" life, so let's keep it that way, right? 6 months is nothing. even a year is NOTHING after coming off years and years of using. I'd rather go on a 3 years plan this was I am more accustomed to living this "new" lifestyle, getting away from the old lifestyle, and keep growing w/ this new lifestyle as time passes.
anyway.. how long have you been on? how long did it take you to wrap up? how was it coming off? did you use shortly after? urge still there? pretty sure you get the idea of what questions I want/need answered.
