Yes , I am and it saved my life. The question is why are you on it ?
Are you detoxing from recreational opioid use ? Do you have chronic pain ?
If your just detoxing from a psychological addiction it should help ease the withdrawals , but then you should be weaned off of it. I ran the gamut of opioids that were prescribed for chronic pain. They almost killed me. By a twist of fate I found a dr. who used suboxone to detox me from my PHYSICAL addiction. I never abused opioids . Always took as prescribed. Psychologically I hated them
because they ruined my life , yet took away most of the pain so I kept taking them. PERSONALLY I believe suboxone to be a wonder drug. I'm now on a low dose to help take the edge off of the pain. The rest I have to eat.
For ME , I know my body will go through a withdrawal when the time comes to stop. I will have to deal with that then. My fear is , will they have something , besides opioids , that can help ease my pain ?
In the meantime I wish more people in the health care profession would learn what suboxone is , as many don't, believe it or not , and educate the general public on the difference between psychological and physical addiction. ( You can also have both ).
I hope you find what works for you. I wish you the best.
