I am glad to also say that where I was asked (by a MODERATOR) of this forum in this thread, if I have ever abused any of my meds.

My fisrt question is, @ amber4.14.11 "Have you abused drugs?"

My phrasing of the ("I had not abuse any of my meds…) was refering to when after referral to my current PMD that during that time frame, not my entire life! Actually to me it doesn;t even mater if I did or didn’t either way, I just know that how Suboxone was helped me NOW, not back THEN…

So yes I have abused meds before:
It was long ago before I ever even heard of "snorting" pain pills. I tried snorting a pain pill years ago when a friend of mine was snorting a pile of dust, I asked "what are you snorting" he said a 40, and he said they helped him better and hit him faster. So yes, I did try not a 40, but snorted a Percocet. No bad burn a little drain, and I did get some relief from the snort of the perc. Back then all I had really heard about people mostly snorting was coke and stuff like that. Back then people just did not snort many pp’s, they ate them typically, smoked some weed, drank a few beers, etc, etc..

After I saw the damage that it did to another guy who abused his pills by snorting, and it really messed up his sinuses to the point to where he talks like he has a clamp on his nose and other people having to have surgery, etc., I knew that snorting pills was not for me.

Suboxone has really helped me, Now, I don’t even want to swallow a opiate pill for pain much less snort on inhale them!

Another good story about abusing meds when Suboxone may have made the difference:
I tried to convince one of my "junkie" neighbors into going to a Suboxone doctor to get her life back, and to also help her to be responsible enough to take care of her 4 young kids. She said "that sh..t don’t do anything but make me sick…" A few days later I heard the rescue squad go by my house and the next day her daughter came over to use my phone and told me that her mother tried to inject a Concerta ER, apparently what we researched on the www, is that Concerta ER is like Ritalin, which is a speed like drug. I started a thread on a forum bout this btw..She originally told the ER doctor that was having an allergic reaction to a cold medicine. The doc got a UDT and it came back dirty for many illicit drugs.
Her arms where she tried to inject the Concerta ER was swollen and the vein was raised up. Concerta ER "gels" up like many of the abused drugs do now days. The difference with the gel in the Concerta ER is that it is thin enough that some of the "gel" goes through the cotton filter. The "gel" does not further dissolve in the blood stream, and is an irritant to the veins. The "gel" can form clots, and the clot can go anywhere in the blood stream. If you type in Concerta ER IV into a search engine, you can read a post where a person was admitted to the ER after being taken there, and the clot had lodged behind the eyes and cut off circulation to the retina I think it was and the person was totally blind ! Since there had been no blood supply to those are(s), the blindness was apparently permanent.

So there are a couple of stories why people should consider Suboxone for either cpm and/or drug abuse.

I have not been on Suboxone for cpm a long time yet, it can be very effective I can tell you that, and can also keep people from having to go through unnecessary nightmares in their lives by abusing drugs to try to self medicate in order to help with their pain or wd’s, etc

I look forward to hearing your comments.
