SUBOXONE

Wow! here it is 7-8 years on Methadone and now almost 2 weeks switching to Suboxone.
I cannot yet say much more than I have far less get up and go, went through serious withdrawals the 1st 2 days on it. Apparently that was caused by the methadone and the Suboxone combating one another.
I was supposed to NOT take my Methadone for at least 2 days to allow myself to be in full withdrawal before starting the Suboxone in order for the proper effect.
I was on 65mls of Methadone prior to the switch over and my Doctor had ONLY gave me 4 doses of 4mg that were to last 4 days. "NOT", I was back at the clinic within 3 days and was re-prescribed 3 doses of 8mg per day.
I really want to STOP this life long pill popping and drug taking just to feel normal, BUT- for now I will accept the Suboxone as my 1st step in cleaning my body of the years of Methadone use, and if I can add 1 PLUS I have encountered, that is SEX. Yup, what I had thought was good, suddenly was way better :).

I hope to start a more regular posting on my life in the world of Methadone and Choices, and now Suboxone. The cost of choosing to use drugs and becoming an addict is NOT worth any joy or escape that you may think is only going to be temporary.
CHOOSE TO STAY DRUG FREE AT ALL COSTS, IF POSSIBLE; and if you do get caught up in the life somehow or another- PLEASE choose a good recovery group and plan prior to the ease of getting CHAINED to Methadone. REALLY.
GOD cleaned me up once and when I chose to return 6 years latter- it was 7 x worse.
