I have battled with opiates for a long time. It all stemmed from an injury which caused me to go on disability. I liked
Oxycontin too much, and began to abuse it in the worst way. I really had no valid reason for quitting, other than financial. That was not enough. Finally I got tired of being sick all the time. After a heavy addiction, I tried
Suboxone. This seems like a miracle drug. I had no withdrawal symptoms, no pain, but most of all no craving. This drug has anti depressant properties which seemed to perk me up a little. I felt energeticand motivated - the exact opposite of dope. I had a 160mg oxy addiction, and all it took was one 8mg Suboxone a day for one week to quit completely. I did not even notice any w/d symptoms from Suboxone. However, I can tell you this, you need to wait at least 48 hours after taking Sub before trying to ingest ANY other opiates. It will be a total waste of your time and money. Not like dope isnt anyway, but just in case you are an off and on user, let the Sub ride it's course before falling off the wagon, which I hope none of you do.
