Taking strong opioid painkillers, in large doses, for an extended period of time, can causephysical dependence in humans. This means when the medication is discontinued abruptly, withdrawal symptoms occur.

This is normalphysiology and does not require addictiontreatment. However, if an uncontrollable compulsion develops and is accompanied by anincreased quantity of drug to achieve the same effect, and opioid use continues despite negative consequences, such as loss of a job, then these conditions may be considered addiction and may require treatment.

  • do not take suboxone! It is even harder to kick then most of the opioids out there. It is not a cure, just a temporary mask that is worse in the end.

  • then you get stuck on the suboxone..it never ends..

  • awesom shit i used today 3mil playing resident evil 5 all day long i have 40mil left:D

  • dude is whining, hes lucky he didnt fuckin have to go on the street to buy em for fuckin high prices.

  • but warning for moron : never take buprenorphine by subutex or other mark if you have anything dependency of heroin or other opioid ...

    in france lot of morons take subutex just for fun : like vomit ang good flying but after when you accoutumed by that : it was a terrible trap !

    never never never take that just for fun, because addictif power of buprenorphine is higher than heroin !!!

    remember that before doing stupid moron

  • go in france if you need buprenorphine ... in france we have "subutex" (buprenorphine 0.4mg, 2mg or 8mg by pills) since end of 90's and it work good ...

    after 3 year on brown sugar just by snif, i am since 2 years on buprenorphine and work on me very good !

    but warning splitting headache, at the beginning if you are not accustomed ...

    i have beginning with juste 2mg days but i need 4 mg in reality : but wrong of head for me !

  • This is fake. " a prescription would last a day" if he was on what he claims, that would be an immense amount. At least try and tell the truth and present it realistically.

    RX: Hydrocodone 5mg BIDx 20D thats enough for a heroin junkie to last 3-4 days. Cmon now. thats the MINIMUM he would be on. don't get into the drug war propoganda

  • i cant wait to get this !
