    I am back from my hiatus and attempt to kick this oxy demon

    Just curious, why haven't you tried Suboxone? It literally saved my life, cause there was no way I was going to quit by myself, even though I really tried. Sometimes the first step is to admit that we need help, that we are "powerless" against our addiction without assistance of some form. I had...

    Please, Please Help Me! NOW!

    No need to worry...Suboxone is designed so well that it's used to treat heroin addiction. It works w/in 5-10 min. of putting it under your tongue for w/drawls. Depending on where you live, there should be providers of SB that are readily available and can get you in quickly. Be ready to sign...

    Can I be in "recovery" while taking Suboxone?

    I was an absolutely clean person until a Dr. put me on Norcos at 33. Little did I know that mix that w/stress and a year or two, that I would be taking 10-15 at a time, depending on what I could afford, and the w/drawls literally did drive me to hang myself. There was only one rehab in my small...

    spouse addicted to pills

    I was in a car wreck and the Dr., a neurosurgeon, got me hooked on opiates. I didn't even drink. But, if you've got insurance, let me tell you what saved me...Suboxone. I began in 2004, and it's a God-send. You go through NO withdrawls, it kills the cravings, is a (mild) painkiller, you can't...

    addicted to percocet's

    In late 2004 I was in rehab w/a Percocet addict and her treatment was the same as for me. I was seriously addicted to Norcos 10/325, and taking 15-20 at a time was nothing. But the w/drawls made me attempt suicide. Twice. It was here on healtrabroadoarRAB that I saw a chat about Suboxone. I...

    HELP !! Getting off of Suboxone

    I don't know where you live, but I went to rehab myself in Sept. 04 for painkillers. I was taking 20 Norco 325's at at time. I went there specifically b/c they had Suboxone, which I learned of right here on HealtrabroadoarRAB, b/c I'd been through the withdrawls, and it's horrid. It saved my...

    addicted to percocet's

    You don't have to go to a rehab place to get on Suboxone. My last Dr. was a family physician who I saw once a month. You don't have to suffer the withdrawls, "disappear" for a month, etc. I was taking Hydros like it was candy. 6,000mg a day was no problem...just the $ and availability. Go to the...

    From methadone to suboxone?

    I was hard core hooked on opiates for almost 2 yrs. The withdrawls were so bad I actually did hang myself (and die) b/c I didn't have any hope...I couldn't quit or wean down. A friend had given me a Methadone once and it helped...a bit. But, luckily my little nephew told my bro. that something...

    HELP !! Getting off of Suboxone

    I'm sorry to hear that you made the mistake of corabining Suboxone w/Lortabs...it was created to send you into w/drawls if you relapsed, thus a very powerful deterrent. I was super clean my whole life, until after a wreck and in 03 a Dr. got me on lots of Lortabs. I was taking them like candy. 2...

    addicted to percocet's

    I think there was a mix up. I was commenting to the person addicted to percocets. All I can say is that 6 yrs ago, when I'd been to the local "rehab" like 5 times, and tried weaning and all that crap, that right here on HealtrabroadoarRAB is where I found out about Suboxone. I had to drive over...

    HELP !! Getting off of Suboxone

    Brother, I'm right there w/you on the absolute necessity of weaning down...to literally crurabs, slowly and it's no worse than hay fever or some minor irritation. The thing I learned the hard way was it's pretty much impossible to wean off of regular opiates, whereas w/Suboxone, it can be...

    Tapering off of Suboxone....

    I feel your pain. I was a total non-drug/non-alcohol person til I was 33. A Dr. put me on opiates for chronic pain from a wreck. She failed to mention that after 2 years, I'd be an addict. I bumped it up, all the way up to 20 10mg Norcos at a time. The w/drawls were so bad i literally hung...

    Suboxone question!!!!

    I have been on Suboxone since Sept. 2004, and I live in a small town so I'd have to drive 200 miles round trip to Dallas or Austin every month to get it. At first, I did go to a rehab place, and from all that I've read and the Dr.s have told me, it takes at least a year for your brain to recover...
