For the last 5 years I have been using suboxone. the first 2 years on this drug were great , I had actually been convinced that this pill was a gift from god. But I have watched everything crumble around me over the last 3 years. Suboxone has completely raped my endocrine system my testosterone is very low…i have -0- no estrogen(men are suppose to have estrogen also) my cortisol is sky high, I am a hormonal mess. and I know it was not caused by the previous opiat use because my levels were tested in rehab…..the endocrinologist that I have been seeing is totaly disgusted by the lies that made suboxone readily available for any person to destroy what little health they have left after drug abuse. He says well, I can put you on testosterone but you will begin to produce even less testosterone on your own and will need to use it for life(great another insanely expensive drug that I have to take for life) but he also told me that testosterone replacement will do nothing to counter all the other hormonal problems. So what does my endocrinologist say? well he feels the need to apologize to me for what the behavioral health industry has done to me, he says he has been seeing alot of people coming to him literally deteriorating every day and they all have 2 things in common they have all been on suboxone for at least a few years and they all are going downhill fast. I don’t know what to do I have a new career that I can’t loose and I have huge monthly bills. I want off this drug so bad I’m sick of watching my life and my body deteriorate but I simply do not have the luxury to be sick for a fuckin year wile my body gets over what I’ve been doing to it. Is anybody else just complexly shocked at the damage this drug is doing to health? And why the hell are doctors convincing people that this drug is easyer to stop? I would take 2 weeks in hell coming of OxyContin in a flash before going on suboxone again, yea the withdrawl from sub may be slightly more mild if you taper down less than a mg but it freekin goes on forever….we don’t relapse because we can’t get through a week or two of withdrawl we relapse because of PAWS and suboxone = PAWS big-time… All i can say is What the fuck? this drug is a freakin curse to a guy that wants to be sober and healthy…these doctors that are pushing the stuff are not doctors they are dishonest sales brokers who deserve jail…
