Is suboxone worth it?

^Its not magic, you have to want to get clean and stay clean if its going to work. Suboxone is more of a crutch to assist in getting clean. Methadone is more of a replacement to your drug of choice. Suboxone is designed to leave you wanting more, it gives you just enough to get by, but no more.
 
I went on vacation with my dad to Ireland in August for two weeks to see family and I had no access to drugs-- I wouldn't know where to get them there and I was with family 24/7 so there was no way for me to go and get it anyway. I switched from H to the subs a few days before we left.

I guess it was what I needed... being on the subs for two weeks straight got rid of all these horrible side effects-- my anxiety level is way down, I don't get the chills or wake up tired and sweaty, my hunger level is normal... my mood is so much more stable, I can concentrate, my skin looks way better. I never would have been able to get through the horrible cravings of those first two weeks if I had been in SF.

I've been off the H for over a month now and I feel so much better, I just hope I can keep it up.
 
suboxone works perfect for some people, well for most people who git early stages of opiate addiction, and have a great chance to escape it. suboxone is worth it if you take it as prescribed with the intentions of using it for what its meant for, no snorting IVing, plugging, tying to catch a buzz...while heavy opiate addicts just cant bare with it (me for example, i tried it, steadily taking it for years i was always irritable, not myself, boring, i tried low doses, high doses) got to the point i sold them all for crack and subsituted, or sold them for heroin or methadone..now im on MMT 75mg, and feel better then ever, except dragging my ass downtown every moring for my dose..
 
Nearing three months clean... I'm so proud of myself. I've been struggling so much to get off the H for years now and this is one of the longest periods I've ever been off of it. I don't even really crave H anymore... if I start to think about it I will begin to so I just really try and focus on other things. I was smoking quite a bit of weed in the beginning but I'm pretty much off that, and only drinking every once and a rare while... I don't know what's happened to me that I'm able to be sober like this but I like it...

I wish! I mean, I've never been addicted to heroin but going without weed or even drinking? Can't handle that.
