Does Suboxone work if you truly have pain?

Welcome to the site. Suboxone does have some pain relieving quality because it does have pain killer in it, but not everyone feels enough relief. No one will be able to tell you in advance how much pain relief you may get, but if you are willing to try it, you might find it works well for you. Once the brain becomes opiate dependent, it doesn't really try anymore to relieve pain on its own by releasing its own opiate, it gets lazy and just allows the rx pain pills to do the pain relief. In my case, i did get relief with suboxone and feel it helped alot. I am now off of it and feel that somehow it reset my system in my brain, because now i don't have as much and what pain i do have can be relieved with tylenol or advil. By agreeing to try the suboxone, you are putting forth a good faith effort to work with your dr, but do talk first with the dr about the long term plan if you don't get relief. It may work wonders, but if it doesn't, it would be better if you had a plan in place just in case it doesn't. Patti

Hello, I took Suboxone for about a month and I have chronic pain issues and I got relief from it. I read somewhere the pain killer in it 20 times stronger than morphime when you compare it milligram to milligram. Good Luck-K
