My Suboxone Experience
My Suboxone Experience
First thing, keep in mind that the following post / notes of mine was written before I did my suboxone taper and final jump off suboxone. Been off the sub for a year and 4 months now so this was written a long while back. Shows my thought process before I decided to take the next step. You can read how I went about my taper day to day in the post Suboxone Taper 101.
My Suboxone Experience cont’d: (written about a year and half ago)
If you are an addict, recovering addict or are just stuck and trying to get help; you understand when searching forums that useless posts that don’t answer your questions regarding how to go about a suboxone taper and or how the withdrawal process is…it’s f***ing frustrating. I just want to find the answers or discussions about what it feels like coming off the sub, can it be done, should it be done, is it as bad as coming off all other opiates cold turkey and so on.
To date I have really only found one good site that gives some great info from both sides of the coin (suboxonetalkzone.com). There ARE alot of good forums out there and to everyone that visits these forums, I appreciate you taking the time to post. Just sometimes the direct question which is most important gets lost in just “talk”.
I have found a site and I’ll list a couple more, but if you want to get some good info on what suboxone can do for you, what steps you should take overall, suboxone info, withdrawal info and straight to the point relevant stuff that you’ll want to know…check out the following
What are the Suboxone Taper / Withdrawal forums giving us? Good info? Or just BS!
Here’s the thing; we all read on the suboxone forums the posts / opinions that people put up. There are (on most) sites 2 categories that dominate the suboxone taper subject; the ways it can help you or the way it has helped others or maybe even yourself. Then on the other hand you get the real space cadets that think it is a clandestine project by the New World Order called Operation Octogon Mallard Duck. It seems on this side of the subject ”THEY” (the NWO) are trying to get you to switch from your OLD brand of coffee to THEIRS. This theory goes on to state how once you have tasted that NWO Suboxone Java, you’ll just never want to stop! The side effects associated with this myth is…that your brain will be picking up and receiving ELF, AM, FM and XM radio for the rest of your life.

Thank you for clarifying that, suboxone Doctor. Suboxone is a great step in the recovery process, but not the ONLY step! It is so important to also be in recovery, otherwise you are just taking it to “get by” and not really dealing with the root of the problem.
That is so true. I have been on suboxone for 3 years xperienced much of the same. Thanks for the blog. I have also experienced many lifestyle changes. I am currently attending AA to keep me clean.
Suboxone can be a great alternative to traditional opiate addiction treatment. It is just a step in the recovery process and other lifestyle changes are required.
Hi, good post. I have been wondering about this issue,so thanks for posting.
