Hey Everybody, I'm new to HealtrabroadoarRAB and am also a recovering heroin/pill (opiate) addict who is currently taking 2.5 mg Suboxine. I've been on it for about 7 months now and was previously on the 8mg. It has been working pretty good for me, I very rarely get the cravings that were always like a constant demon on my shoulder and it seems to give me energy at work with the exception of one annoying side effect. HEADACHES FROM HELL. I seem to get them at least 3 times a week and they're horrible. So I'm assuming its just an annoying side effect, and that brings me to my next question....I've just recently been hearing about Subutex and was wondering what the difference was and if it seems to work better then Suboxine and just get some feedback from any of you who might know. Now, I'm not going to lie I have relapsed numerous times because it is so easy to just use it for back up in case I get sick from taking the opiates that my body craves. I want to get back to using it properly and wondered if I should stick with the Suboxine or try the Subutex. I apologize for jumping here and there with questions. Thank you so much for listening. :wave:

Hi, I hate jumping in here like I know everything because I don't. I have just been through "suboxone" withdrawl after tapering off with my addictionologist. I am not going through my story again as I think everyone knows it and I don't want to keep on repeating myself. Please read my story. Type in Suboxone Withdrawl at the top of the boarRAB, also maybe under "Chronic Pain" and "Insomnia" and read if you have time. I think "Subtex" is probably almost the same as Suboxone but read up on it. I don't think one is better than the other. I could be wrong!!!!
I sent a message to "Denon" this morning reaffirming how I feel about "Suboxone" and I don't claim to know more than others but.....I have just been through it and in the clinic they put you on suboxone for opiate withdrawl and you don't know anything about it and then you find out later awful things about it.
Please read up on it further or ask questions of your doc.
Take care everyone

Hi sherbiz. I am also on Suboxone. I think that suboxone can give you headaches. I'm thinking that it is from the naloxone that they put in it that causes your headaches. Talk to your doc about being put on subutex, and I think that your headaches will improve. Good luck and congrats on being clean!
 
Hi Lyn in Michigan, thanx for the reply I haven't been on here since my last post, so sorry its taken so long to respond. I really appreciate the input and I plan on reading your "Suboxine posts" because I'm sure it will give me a lot of answers I'm looking for. Yeah, I keep hearing suboxine withdrawal is just plain horrible and I had no idea... I thought coming off of that would be cake, and that methadone withdrawal was the doozy, but apparently there both nightmares. lol So anyway, I'm really grateful to have this message board to come on and learn all this info....thanx so much for caring and hope you're doing well.
Take Care,
Sherri (in Florida)
