To be completely and totally honest, I never felt the opiate high, not even my first day. My withdrawal symptoms went away. That’s it. Since then all I’ve felt is tired. Extremely tired. All of the time. And pain relief. I have a bad back and will always have to take some form of pain medication in order to be able to work. My tolerance to oxy just kept growing and it started to take over my life. Even though I needed the meds legitimately I also knew I was addicted. Things happened and it came to a point of either trying suboxone or being on nothing, and most likely having to quit my job. I have never felt great from this medicine and I doubt I ever will. I’ve cut back on my amount, and I’m no longer pass out tired. But I am still tired and pretty depressed even. Not even close to how I felt on other opiates. And I don’t spend hundreds a month. I pay a $35 copay for my doctor and my $35 copay for the med has been free, using the coupon. I’m actually glad that sub doesn’t give me any kind of high. I know I’ll never abuse it, the way I did with other opiates. I would LOVE to stop taking it, but unless I hit the lottery and can quit my job, or they come out with a way to permanately fix my back, I’m stuck. It’s worth feeling crappy rather than being in pain all the time. So to clarify, I take the sub for pain and addiction. And no I don’t feel any kind of high or buzz or normal even. I can’t even remember what that feels like.
