Subutex Compared to Alternatives

For Opiate Dependence: I have been on Subutex for 2 years now. Before I was into pain pills , then moved up to heroin for about 8 years. A lot of people blame the drug for just not working but you have to be ready to stop getting high. This last attempt to stop I was desperate went to a 120 day treatment facility and started Subutex and have now been clean a lil over 2 years. A lot of people say I'm trading one addiction for another and that's fine at least now I'm not sticking a needle in my arm or hurting the people I love to get another fix. When I started Subutex I was jobless living in a homeless shelter and now. I have a house, job, car and kids back in my life . I've seen people leaving comments bashing the drug or praising it. Look it's different for everybody. No I do not give the drug all the credit because you need to have the desire to stop getting high for it to work to begin with. Just like NA and AA Subutex isn't the cure all. It can help if you really want it to tho !

For Opiate Dependence: I absolutely love this medicine. It helped my back pain and increased my mood. I have been on the 2 mg for about 6 months and finally after breaking the last three in half for four days (1 mg) I have gone cold turkey. WOW first day is okay, second and third are the killers, no motivation, no sleep, however on the 4th day I was feeling better and saw my doctor on the 5th day. He was expecting me to beg for more, but I turned him down, I wanted off the ride for good. He was so proud which made me feel better. I am now back at work and it is HARD but I am making it. Really folks get the 2 mg and break them into half's, and then half those till you are out... Within 5 days you will be FINE.

For Chronic Pain: I am with everyone. Rhodes pain meds do not have near the same pain relieving quality as the oxycodone brand KVK. It’s very obvious why people are seeking other methods of pain control like heroin or taking to much of their prescription. FDA please please check into what is going on with RHODES oxycodone because they are ineffective and I swear they have terrible side effects. And why are the white RHODES like 3 times as large as the KVK little blue pills? Even KVK has not been like they used to be but way better then RHODES!

For Chronic Pain: Oxycodone 30 Mg Tablets used to be effective for chronic pain. However, since the start of the "Opioid Crisis" & the medication started becoming less & less effective. I do not think this is a "coincidence" either. KVK Tech is one of the worst manufacturer's their oxycodone is like taking a sugar pill anymore. It's one of the worst brands on the market in terms of effectiveness. This medication has been changed & the public was not made aware of it guaranteed.

For Pain: While getting an entire back tattoo, the artist in Thailand have me some tramadol to reduce the pain. As I had to visit him every day to get the tattoo done, so my dosage increased. After a month straight I was taking 500mg per day. Long story short, it was very hard to stop. This was years ago when the drug first came out and there wasn't any info on the Internet about it other than that the manufacturer said..... It's not addictive. Yeah, right!

For Pain: Worked good for pain but caused lots of nausea and blurry vision.
