I tried it all to quit.300-400mill a day of oxcycodone to O in one day with the help of suboxone.I was on sub for a few months.It does not get you high soo there is NO desire to take more or to keep taking it.There is a blocker so even if you want to get high you can't. Been two years clean and I can honestly say I will NEVER touch an opiate ever again.The battle to get off these pills was made easy with sub. I still can't figure out why there is methadone clinics with this WONDER MIRACLE drug available.I was at this computer 2 years ago and I was a full blown opiate junkie. I know how hard this is soo this is from my heart. You can have your life back. And no I don't work for the company that makes Suboxone,just a working stiff who is a happy man.Good Luck All

Congrats to you! I am tryin to quit on my own. I don't have the money for sub. where I have got my addiction from perc scripts and never really had a reliable supplier. I was on my 5th day being clean coldturkey, but then slipped up today when I had a dentistry proc. done. He gave me a script which I didn't ask for, and was set on not getting it filled. I made it a whole 2 hrs. with the Rx in my pocket and made my self sick dwelling on it, so I went and got it filled. Back into this nasty cycle again. I only have 20 so they'll last 2 days, I hope. Anyways, I had made it through the Physical Wd, but mentally it was tough at times. I have read alot of posts about the sub, and was wondering why some people get addicted to Sub. when it doesn't get u high? I've also heard it does not control pain either? My best wishes to you and keep up the positive mind thoughts. Way to go!

I agree with you that suboxone is great, but I have no health insurance and have been purchasing it for $20 per pill from a dealer. I can't afford that for long, because I have so much debt that arose from my addiction to Oxycontin. I have enough for about one week. Will that be sufficient to keep me off of the OC?? I love feeling clean and not sick every single day, but I can't sleep or relax. Is that a side effect of the suboxone?

My family has a history of abusing things (alcohol, drugs, Rx drugs). My family would give me a few Lortabs every month because I truly did have pain. I would take one. In the beginning when I took NO medication for ANYTHING, Lortab made me sleepy...later on it started giving me energy and then the high. Then they introduced me to Roxycodone (aka oxycodone/oxycontin) I started taking 1 a day, and then two, and two turned into 3, 3 turned into 4...but I was never abuing my Rx, I was taking it as prescribed, but by that time my body knew when it was time for a pain pill. My family turned to Suboxone, and after seeing their succes stories, a few week ago I decided to come clean and give it a try. I didn't want to give up the pain medicine...like I said before, technically I wasn't abusing my Rx, but I was addicted to it. My mom gave me 4 of her suboxone, and she gave me 4 since I wasn't taking a whole lot each day. I have read from previous questions on how many Suboxine will it take, but 4 worked for me. I was able to take the first pill and not have any witdrawal symptoms. I took a half later that day when I started having hot flashes and becoming anxious. After that I spaced it out to a half every over day. When I was finished with the 4, I felt a tad anxious, but it was nothing I couldn't live with. The only problem was...,,, that I still had a bottle of oxycodone. I think since I had it, and was able to see itm the temptation came back...I didn't go off on a binge, but I did cheat and take one or two every now and then. I suggest, if you start suboxone, have someone take your pain pills away from you and keep them locked up..out of sight out of mind. I think I could have made it on 4 pills if I didn't have a bottle of oxycodone staring me down. Four worked for me becaue I wasn't abusing my Rx. I've rambled on, but to make a long story short....Suboxone works, and I suggest if anyone has a problem, they should give it a try. The pain pills made me happy and more social, but also very irritable. Now that I am off, I feel more normal. It would be a wise decision... and we all know how terrible the withdrawal symptoms are...you feel like you could scream because your having these crazy hot flashes and you're coming out of your skin. Don't give up...there's hope out there, and I believe it to be Suboxone.
