hey doc,

i am a thirty one year old recovering heroin addict who has been clean and on 16mg a day of suboxone for a year and almost three months.what i wanted to add was that the people i come in conact with who say that being on suboxone is not truly being clean or as one counselor told me,'suboxone is your higher power'they are usually recovering alcoholics or addicts themselves and being alcoholics,they are prone to BLACK AND WHITE THINKING. great keep it up and keep speaking the truth!

Thanks!

A magic pill is not the cure...the same problem is still there and that problem is I, me. You need meetings, meetings, meetings and God. We have a thinking problem and the cure starts within. Its all about change. Get into a 12 step program and have complete abstinance

[SuboxDoc]

It is a great fantasy-- no doubt. But the simple fact is that such an approach is not saving our young people. The steps occasionally (not very often, to be frank) help a person stop using opiates, but the relapse rate remains very high. And a 95% failure rate is no longer good enough. Not for a fatal illness.

Hey doc, im at the end of day 3...of quitting cold turkey from suboxone. I started out with 8mg twice a day down to 2mg a day... im on day 3 without anything.... im going insane to say the least but im quitting this crap for good... and im doing it cold turkey..... My jimmy legs are ridiculous....is there anything you can recommend any supplements or anything that would help me....I refuse to let this take over me anymore... im over it.... How long does the physical misery last?

This guy know his stuff. Ive been on suboxone for 18 months and have steped back from 90 pills a month to 42. But im not ready to stop them. I might never be ready. Happy to see someone telling the truth. Suboxone withdraw isn't as bad as the other stuff. Everyone hang in there soboxone isnt the silver bullet but its close.

suboxone withdrawals were hell for me.

hey doc..

what do you think of ibogaine treatments?

do you know when the generic subs will finally get thru the patent lawsuit?

[SuboxDoc]

Not necessarily the only way-- just like you don't always need bypass surgery for clogged arteries or chemo for cancer. You can exercise, or pray, or take vitamin C (no 'dis' on prayer intended). You don't need a 'pill' for lots of things they are used for-- but when a 'pill' can save your kid's life- a kid who is too young to 'get' the steps-- I hope the kid goes for the pill. Beats dying. Sorry it doesn't fit YOUR model of perfection.

alright i see, a pill is the only way to stay sober

[SuboxDoc]

This, people, is the type of arrogant ignorance you are up against. I see people every day who get clean for a few months and consider themselves 'experts'-- and I see them again three years later, after they relapse and lose everything. Thanks, pop, for the demonstration.
