Hi everybody….my name is Billy and I,m from Boston….Ive been a hard core junkie for 18 years…ive been on methadone maintainence twice….once for almost 3 yrs….Ive been on suboxone for 4 years….Ive had various lenghts of clean time from opiates….once i had 11 months and suboxone definately helped…I,m prescriped 16 mgs a day….it used too be 24….but MASSHEALTH wants your dr. to start tapering you after a year….they only want to pay for 16 mgs a day….i,m cool with that…I take between8 and 20mgs a day depending if ive been chipping….if you don,t know that term….it means using off andon….I taperered myself down to 4 mgs a day a few years ago….but then I went on a 2yr run…..which i,m still trying to stabilize from….I attend 12 step mtgs regularly and the fellowship really helps me…I,m also presribed 2mgs of klonipin a day and I think that is an awesome drug to relieve post acute withdrawel symptoms….but thats my experience…
