I am sorry that you are having a hard time DoneChasing.

Honestly though I really don’t understand something…are you saying that it is the subs that caused all of these side effects or just your addiction in general? I have read so many negative posts on this board lately and I find myself wondering why so many people are blaming suboxone for all the problems in their lives when they obviously already had problems before they got started on the suboxone. I mean, we are all addicts. That is not an easy thing to walk through. That in itself created alot of problems in my life. But looking back I already had issues with motivation and depression long before I took that first pain pill. I think that is one of the reasons that I liked them so much…I felt good when I took them. Meaning I didn’t feel so good when I didn’t take them.

I agree with you, I don’t want to be on this medicine forever. I am currently tapering down and hope to be off completely in 3 months. But unlike you (forgive me if I have the wrong impression) I do not believe that my problems began with or will go away with the end of my suboxone use. I agree that this medication is not for everyone…but for those of us who had to have some help in getting past our active addiction to pills or heroine I think it is a God send. I for one am grateful for having access to it.

I really hope you are able to get some relief from your symptoms. But I think you are fooling yourself if you think that quitting suboxone is going to solve all of your problems. We have to take responsibility for getting ourself into this mess or else we will never get over it. I am sorry if I have offended you, I’m just really tired of reading all of these posts about how this evil drug is ruining everyones lives. If you don’t need it then quit taking it. If I could have gotten off the pills without the suboxone then that is what I would have done. But I couldn’t, and it seems to me like you are probably in the same boat as alot of us here. With the exception of the fact that it seems like you are a little bitter about having to quit taking your "full agonist opiate" of choice. No doubt, getting sober is a hard freaking thing to do. But let’s call it what it is…
