I have been on Suboxone for over 5 years. It has taken away 95 percent of my cravings. Also I am an alcoholic and it also has taken over 90 percent of my alcohol cravings away. And I also talk to to addiction counseling twice a month over the phone.i take 8.2 Suboxone 3 times a day.i haven't relapsed not even once in the 5 years I've been on Suboxone with addiction counseling. NO OPOIDS and NO ALCOHOL consumption either. I get urine tested every 2 weeks.i am very happy and proud of myself. I would recommend SUBOXONE to every addict and alcoholic. LARRY from KENTUCKY 😊😊😊

Great detailed Informationen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Horrible drug withdrawal lasted a year 😢

Why are u talking if it shouldn't be considered medical advice ,

Due to no regulation in place on this site I DO take this as medical advice. Most of us do. I understand why you state this as you do but in reality a lot of us do.

Restlessness gets me at night

Do a video on Duiladid

Withdrawals are exercomisms week straight I’ve been going thru it

Bro the scroll w the nails I CANT💀 😂 Also, I like the 'the biblical devil himself couldn’t create a more insidious substance than benzodiazepines' whoa…

Im proud of everyone that made the decision to try to better themselves and the ones who keep relapsing dont give up, one slip doesn't need to be a full blown habit again learn from the mistake, identify the triggers that led you to use again and learn how to deal with those things before they overwhelm you in to using again. That's what took me 30 years to learn. I was never taught how to emotionally regulate myself or deal with stress or how to communicate my needs or even know what those needs were. I think most of us have unprocessed trauma that has led us to drugs as a coping mechanism and we think that the drugs are the problem but most of the time its a symptom of a bigger issue. I just want to share what has been helping me and hopefully that will help someone else that feels like nothing else has kept them from going back to using time after time. Tim Fletcher on youtube has a in depth series of videos on trauma addiction and recovery. I just didn't have any resources or family to rely on and I knew I needed help but couldn't find anyone to help me untill I found that channel and I have been able to deal with the triggers in healthy ways instead of them sending me on a series of trauma responses then wakeup one day and ive been using for a year like hey when did that happen, huh? I would for reals not even remember starting again.or how these drugs got in my hand. Ever since a child when I would be subject to extreme neglect followed by the occasional display of ultra violence I would shut down all active thought and my sub conscious would take over i guess. I didn't talk much at all until around puberty and not long after that i would be out on the streets just trying to survive. If you met me today most would never be able to guess and I am thankful for each day i get to live , dont loose hope be kind to yourself and know who you are and what you want can be done if you don't allow what happens to you make you bitter and hateful. Hang in there brothers and sisters the suffering makes it possible for love to exist.

Thanks Doc for trying to help us all,how I got to this point was a back injury about 10 years or so ago was on pain pills for a long time when it got to where i no longer needed them for back pain i got sick as a dog anddint know what was going on with me until i found out i was addicted to pain meds freind gave me a strip and i was fine for a couple of days so i went to see a doctor and thats been ten or eleven years ago now and its time to taper off this stuff now too.

Where are the other parts?

Fentynal is a a terrible drug regular heroin was better for a addict at least they didn’t need to take it every 2 hours

When I try to stop taking them, I sweat, get anxious, my nose runs, my stomach cramps so hard and then the diarrhea starts-it’s literal body torture . I keep putting it off.

Drs use them for repeat insurance billings the love of money is why the Dr went to schools

Fentanol transition to Buprenorphine is very similar to methadone because of the lipophilic nature of fentanol, Best to transition slowly to buprenorphine while still using it

Imodium? Opiates or abstinence are the only two options for opiate addiction curing.

I don’t want to quit opiates. It seems like; never. I already asked my provider for HP Dilaudid shot twice a day. I think I would do well on it. Especially if I change my living conditions; staying with family because they don’t inspire me to make my way.👨‍🎓♾️🧑‍🎨

Quit taking Suboxone for five days. On the sixth day take Dilaudid. You can take the Dilaudid as a new replacement; or, a taper dose. Ask your doctor how.👨‍🎓

I believe in plant based opiates. Poppy plant based opiates are better in the long run for OUD.

I love opiates. And, I think they are the best drugs on the market. I take them for OUD. But sometimes I get little ahead of my schedule. I am familiar with the half lives of a lot of the opiate narcotic drugs. I have had a couple ruff transitions. Using medicinally is the key to avoid bad side effects with these drugs.

This doctor is top-notch, and I'm saying that as a person who's been on and off subs for 10+ years. Been interested in these vids lately b/c I'm considering doing peer recovery coaching. The way I taper subs is like this (though everybody is different): Every Month (28 days) 16 to 12 12 to 10 10 to 8 8 to 6 6 to 4 4 to 3 3 to 2 2 to 1.5 1.5 to 1 1 to .75 .75 to .5 .5 to .25 .25 to .125 Jump at .125 This is the way I do it. I've also tapered off Methadone 120mg/day. To do that I went down by 5mg a week down to like 40mg. Held for an extra week if I had to. 40 to 30 is 2mg a week. 30 and below is 1mg a week down to as low as you can get like 1mg, although I jumped at 10mg with some withdrawals but not too bad. Methadone is more dangerous to w/d than subs, but subs is harder IMO.

NES Zelda Playing Doctor. Cool af! I do the following once a month: 16 to 12 12 to 10 10 to 8 8 to 6 6 to 4 4 to 3 3 to 2 2 to 1.5 1.5 to 1 1 to .75 .75 to .5 .5 to .25 .25 to .125 Jump after a month on .125. Everybody is different, but that's what works for me. Maybe do .25 at a time below 2, as it's the halfway point in terms of receptor occupancy. Don't listen to ppl in NA, either. They work for some people, but they got a stick up their asses when it comes to suboxone. And most of them don't have experience coming off suboxone itself so they treat it like dope. Subs are somewhere above dope and below benzos in terms of w/d difficulty.

Let me tell you I have been on Suboxone since 2007 mostly and my two attempts to get off of it or for the wrong reasons and I have destroyed my life those two times. One of the main reasons was acceptance into 12-step programs that claim you're not sober. We need more doctors like you in the community wish I was closer.

If you’re Fentanyl and methadone. You must wait a week

getting off the suboxone was worse then the fentanyl. first hand experience. its all bullshit!!!

What about avulity or however you spell it. The Wellbutrin with DXM

New sub here

Doctor detox Opioids with Cannabis. You see I know about it And I'm sure the doctor also knows that. The latter being God's nade and the other is chemicals. Same effect just a big difference in withdrawal symptoms.

i want to switch to subs from methadone so bad but im scared when i was young i could easy go 1 even 2 days without a dose of mdone ,now i cant even go a few hours (think its to do with age or psychological) clinic says they can give me nitrazipam to help the switch they want 36 - 40 hours from last mdone dose, but i cant sleep at all without mdone even taking sleeping pills i just stay awake a bit drowsy but sends me paranoid. i am going to do it one day just gotta work out how.

Sublocade shot stays in your system for about a year after the last shot is what ive heard....?

Ive heard that sublocade shot doesnt have any withdrawl symptoms

I don't get withdrawals.

There is no such thing as a Free Lunch.

The generic oxymorphone still exists. I'm prescribed 20mg of oxymorphone,6 a day.

I love your background and sound effects

I appreciate you describing for people how it is. It helps me explain it to my parents. Love your stuff dude I like your style

This video gave me hope

I literally smoke like 2 m30s fent pills felt sick like 4-5 hours n took suboxone n was fine but I was sick asf if ur in so much pain take a little of a sub n see how u feel don’t put ur self in pain n at risk of relapse

I recommend JUST NOT GETTING HIGH!!!

Yes I do have a question for you my friend was on fentanyl for a long time about 2 years and a half he is getting she has a he eye doctor he Suboxone and he'll be taking that and still has so pain what can he do please let me watch your one of your thank you so much for helping people❤❤

I've done 6 of these. In my experience it works great off heroin but absolutely does not work off methadone.

I lasted 4 months of withdrawals when I came off methadone then stupidly gave up and went back on it. It was sending me nutty. I'm wondering is there much of a difference with the tapering and then the withdrawals between suboxone and methadone?

Alcoholic for 20 years. Dabbled in meth heroin and these blues some and then did Suboxone for 3 years. Prison 3 times. Suboxone withdrawal is harder than anything ever did in my life maybe.

Excellent video, information presented in a clear and concise way. I've been in active recovery from opioid use disorder for over 15 years. Buprenorphine saved my life. Would love to see a video exploring the topic/idea that people on medication assisted treatment have to stop taking their medication at some nebulous point in time. This concept seems to be unique to addiction treatment. People suffering from other chronic illnesses dont typically discuss or need to consider the idea that they need to stop taking medications that effectively treat their illness. People with Diabetes dont have to think about "quitting" insulin, or people with hypertension think about getting off of their blood pressure medication. There's so much stigma surrounding substance use disorder treatment, and so much misinformation out there, would love to hear your thoughts on the topic.

Do you get withdrawals while tapering? I started tapering 2 weeks ago by decreasing my dosage weekly. This week I started taking just one tiny square piece daily. However I’m feeling it hard. Diarrhea, body ache, insomnia, sneezing etc. am I doing it wrong? Or should I continue like this

Why isn't there a cure because humanity greed mankind is Satan our atmosphere and precious animals are dying and suffering

False, the Japanese made methadone. It was just used in world war II because Germany couldn't get a supply of opium to make morphine with. Look it up if you dont believe me. I don't know why people don't do their research before making videos.

Gotta have nacan. Becsuse theres not enough in my suboxone?😂. I get the mthadone clinic giving ut to us but bocmx clinics. And its hard to have a CLOSE friend when you grew up with other drug addicts
