How do I go about getting on Suboxone, I am addicted to opiates?

I have in the past stopped taking percs cold turkey.. and I didn't feel the way I do now detoxing off the subs.. I stayed clean for a year because of that.. But that's just the first step.. The long haul is all metal.. Staying positive and recognizing what your triggers are.. Obviosly I didn't know all of mine but I am stronger now because of it.. Good Luck to you

But approximately 15 to 45 minutes after your induction onto subs, you will be withdrawal free and feel lots better and can work on the emotional issues.Please call all the doctors in your area that are licensed to give out subs as they all charge induction fees, the office visit fees, and other requirements to start subs, and all that stuff varies as does their techniques for treating with subs. One friend told me to add to that list of ques. is if the doctor also precribes other pain meds, or ask if the doctor is willing to taper someone down and get them off subs too. Just check around on the doctors as you don't want to get a doctor who is simply doing it as an easy way to make cash. Best of Luck, Patti

Some people use for a maintenence drug,some people use as a replacement.That is up to the person!! Some people intend to use it for maintenence,and end up addicted to it..So theres thngs to think about before you use it.I use Suboxone as a maintenence drug at this point! I am on my way off. From 24mgs down to 8mgs and fixng to go to 6mgs a guy named Robert 325 is the expert on here he s also a christian,very intelligent and very thoughtful. Most people who do infact get off of Suboxone dont hang around to tell it,they generally get on with there lifes. And that makes it look as if t has helped no one. From what Ive heard anyway..At any rate his time is appreciated by many,me for one.And there are others that are here,mpvt is very intelligent as well, it was him that busted my little make believe bubble that this whole deal had and easy way out.it doesent and infact,The maintenece part of it can prove just as much of a pain in the As# as the addiction if not for sites like this where people share their experiences.Also Subzereo,Pattishan,and several more fade in and out when needed,and can help,its made it doable for me so far..I was totally againist Suboxone or methadone for that matter,as I have been to rehab 11 times and seen people trying to get off of methadone that is just SAD, Common sense is gonna tell you it takes something stronger to get your attention to start with,however like I said it has A CEILING AFFECT WHERE IT CANT BE ABUSED,(Suboxone not methadone I mean). Didnt mean to flame,didnt want to do it over. anyway hope this helps,be sure you get a good doctor try to get references if possible..Some states dont have many doctors so sometime this isnt possible as every doctor is not certifyed to prescribe Suboxone..Have a good one!! God bless!!
