I was drug free for the first 26 years of my life, but after my divorce I began a whole new life on my own, found new friends and started to have fun that included drugs. I felt they were harmless, and that turned in to 20 750 mg vicodins everyday. Some days it was hard to get them and then I would go in to a desperate panic terrified by the thought of withdrawl. I began Suboxone 2 years ago and never had one withdrawl symptom. It is shocking how effective it is.

I have been clean since May, and it is a beautiful thing. To think that I was a college student, learning all these things, and the only thing I knew was dope. I mustered up some courage and after talking to the campus councellor, I called a specialist. After a long night of no sleep and cold sweats among other nightmarish withdrawl symptoms, I dragged myself to the doctor's with my loving girlfriend beside me. My life spun 180 degrees that day and I never looked back.

I started taking pain pills at age 15 and in a year tops I was a full blown addict. I decided to get on suboxone. I have been on it for about 5 months now and it has been great for me. I love it, it is definitely a miracle drug and I would recommend it to anyone. Of course you have to be in the right frame of mind or else it probably won't do a bit of good.

I am 24 years old and I was addicted to opiates/heroin for 5 years after having my hip fractured. I have been on 32mg of suboxone for 8 months now. It has been a lifesaver. My life has totally turned around for the best. I feel like a normal human being now. I have been able to save money and I have even gone back to college and can focus now. I highly recommend Suboxone to detox.

Out of money and out of sources, I was on the verge of losing it all because I could not function without opiates. I found a doctor on the suboxone site and with God on my side the doctor answered the phone himself and agreed to accept my insurance because they usually only accept cash.I dragged myself into his office in full blow withdrawal. He gave me a dose immediately and within minutes my life was mine again. Started at 24mg/day now 2mg/day and almost all done. No cravings ever. Please believe and try this.

Suboxone and Subutex are definitely a viable alternative to methadone or purely tapering off opiates/opiods. Remember that eating anything containing multiple grams of acetaminophen, especially chronically or with alcohol is way more liver toxic than most patients and doctors realize. I stopped killing my liver - methadone and Subutex/Suboxone were a great help. Just taper off all of it before it, too becomes a habit.

I've been on a short term detox from painkillers using Suboxone. It truly is a miracle drug, if used correctly. I think long-term use is starting to look like a nightmare scenario for some. Be careful, use for less than 2 weeks and you'll be good. Less is more.

Review by coal regions:

I have been on suboxone for three and a half months now. I did write on here when I first started this treatment from using oxys. I just want to tell everyone that I feel like a million dollars. I have my family, friends and life back. I can function like a normal person again. I do have pain everyday (that's why I was on oxys) but I go to the rheumatologist this month to straighten out my problem, actually we just found out what is wrong with me, arthritis (spondalitis). This is the best treatment out there!

I have been on 20 Lortab and 10 Soma a day for 5 YEARS and I did the detox for 1 day, which gave me mild withdrawls but the second I took that first 2 mg of Suboxone, I felt and looked better. I have been going on 3 weeks now and I won't lie, my back does hurt at times and I still want to pop pills when stress is high but I haven't because the Suboxone has made me pull through that feeling. Be realistic and I promise this was the best drug to help me.

I was addicted to oxys in Anchorage for 3 years, buying them off the street. I dropped out of college, lost several jobs, and hurt every person I cared for just to get high. I moved away hoping to get away from the drugs, and just ended up at a methadone clinic for another 3 years. I finally made the choice to start suboxone, it's only been a week but I feel a hundred times better.

Today is my first drug free day and I don't feel bad at all but actually feel pretty good. This is without a doubt the best detox drug I have ever used.

Review by hopeful33:

I am 33 yrs old and have been addicted to percocet and oxy's for nearly 10 years. I wanted off but with 2 kids I physically couldn't handle the withdrawl. I took my 1st suboxone yesterday and haven't felt like taking an oxy since. NO BONE ACHING PAINS, SWEATS...NOTHING. Just ME. I am more relaxed with my children and I feel like a whole "person" again. I know this will help me get control.

Review by excitedbutscared:

I am 28 years old and have been addicted to vicodin and percocet for over 3 years. I started suboxone about 2 weeks ago and I think it's great! I didnt have any urges to use the drugs I was taking. You have to be in the stages of withdrawl when you start Suboxone, so you feel bad at first, but once you take the first dose, you feel better, and have energy and feel productive. The narcotics were uppers for me. I needed them to get through the day. The nice thing about suboxone is you have no withdrawl symptoms or cravings and feel normal. I feel like myself again. Now instead of buying pills off the street, Im going to the mall. I was scared but now I'm excited.

Suboxone is a miracle to me. This medication saved my life. If you are really ready to stop using then this medication is the best.

I have just started taking suboxone again, I was on it for 6 months in Virginia and I did very well on this medication. I moved to Tennessee and ran out and relapsed until I could get back on Suboxone. If you are really ready to stop usuing then Suboxone is very effective. I dont think I could do it without it. Suboxone not only changed my life, it saved my life.

I was skeptical about suboxone when I first heard about it, thinking it was just getting high off of one drug to replace another, but I was wrong. Suboxone is actually working well to help get my life back in order. It keeps me from having bad detox, controls my cravings, and also has some sedating, and sometimes annoying side effects, it does not flat out get me high like I originally thought it would. Suboxone really is a serious treatment for opioid addiction and I strongly recomend it

I can not even begin to tell you how Suboxone has saved my life. After 14 yrs of Opiate addiction stemming from a medical condition, I was scared to try it. I had experienced withdrawl a few times before but I did try it and my entire life changed. I am enjoying my life. I never felt any withdrawls. I started by taking 2 a day, now take 1 a day and feel great. Soon I'll be off completely. Please at least try them. You might get your life back.

I have been taking this medication for 3 months now. After the first dose I felt like a million dollars, as my mood lifted I felt great, for the first time in 4 years since i started taking narcotics for chronic pain. I find this drug helps somewhat for pain, wish it would help a little more. Thats okay as I have my life back again and now I function a lot better, and have much clearer thinking then i did.

I have been on buprenorphine for 2 years now, at 32 mg a day after a 20 year Vicodin habit. It has saved my life and I finally feel like a normal person again, which I never thought could happen. I also still go to meetings 2 times a month and love it.

I have been taking opiates for about 2-3 years and was taking about 20-30 tablets a day. I just started taking Suboxone today. I have to take two 8mg pills a day at first them go down I guess. Im really excited about this pill and can't believe I feel this good. No withdrawl symptoms. I have energy and am able to actually do stuff without taking so many pills.

Review by Anonymous:

my husband has been an opiate addict for over 12 years and has just been taking the suboxone and has done okay with it. i just feel it is another form of addiction. with the suboxone, it is a monitored addiction rather than uncontrolled. either way, what a hell of a way to live
