I just wanted to share my suboxone experience... I am 21 years old and I was abusing morphine/oxy for the past 4 years. Well after hitting rock bottom, which most of us have to do before we get help, I sought help. Turned out, one of my dealers, (who I got my meds from) went on suboxone. He said, "Sandra I feel great, I don't want to touch pills." So I went to see his doc, who opened a new office for suboxone patients. Pretty expensive with no insurance, but I needed to quit, my life was ruined by what I had done to myself. The doc was cool, I called him, told him my story. The doc was off that day, but he met me at his office to get me going on the suboxone right away. FIRST THING people, and I can't stress this enough, you have to wait until withdrawl symtoms before taking the suboxone. Since the is that opiate blocker in there, if you take it while there is opiates still in your system, YOU WILL HAVE WITHDRAWLS. I was so anxious to take it, I didn't wait long enough, and I got sick. The first day sucked; but that was it. Honest to God, I was shocked. The second day, my tummy felt a little uneasy, but I was able to function. I didn't feel that overwhelming saddness, or sickness. And each day, I felt better. No withdrawls, no mood swings, I felt normal. Its not like methodone, I wasn't high; but I felt good. I am at 20mg of suboxone and 12 days clean. It helps so much, because with that opiate blocker, I know I can't get high. Even if I have a bad day, and I want to go get pills, I CAN'T GET HIGH! I love it! I don't even think about it anymore because I know its not an option. To anyone who is thinking about suboxone; give it a try. Remember everyone is different, and every body is different, so you have to have your own plan and method of recovery. When you abuse opiates, you are putting that "happy feeling" in your brain. When you stop using, there is no "happy feeling" because your brain forgot how to produce that on its own. You have to re-teach your brain to make those "happy feelings" again. The suboxone helps the brain w/ the "happy feeling" so you are not in a manic deppression, when you quit. Gives it a little kick start. It feels great to have my head back. I forgot who I am; and its all coming back to me now... Please give feedback, or if you have any questions about suboxone, I'm no doc, but I want to help. Sangee
