I know2ppl who are currently in Suboxone treatment but they are addicted2it&they are taking other pills with it. Suboxone can cause drug interactions&from what my clinicians have told me most clinics won't take u if ur taking other meds&it really only is a short term thing. Long term suboxone use can cause addiction to it. U can look into methadone clinics, but its hard2find a good one. Methadone can be used4pain also, but because its a long acting drug it doesn't need2b taken as much. U should try2look into methadone clinics. Its a good choice4someone dependent on opiates because its used long term&most clinics use liquid which is easier2use2prescribe amounts not found in pill form. I got very lucky here&found an awesome place that helps ppl get over their opiate addiction with counseling, therapy, treatment plans, plans on what2do if u tink ur gonna relapse, tons of info about groups2go2&other resources. Methadone clinics are regulated by the DEA&only certain MDs can prescribe it. I have been in therapy for over4yrs&have not had any problems with becoming addicted2it or anything like that. Actually, the opposite is happening&I'm starting2taper down&I'm feeling more confident than ever that I will be all right when I get off completely.
Look up suboxone&methadone on Wikipedia. They've got helpful info there&u can also search both online&find a plethora of great info&resources2help make this decision as easy as possible. Good luck2u&keep us updated. There a re lots of great ppl on here willing2share stories&opinions.
Thanks for this!
