Emotions are overrated.

[@SteveDarby-uy1tq]

Im on subs and i have emotions. I cry and i cry and i cry

[@danm3195]

Yeah I'm sorry to hear of your pain .that phase will pass ,your body is just re adjusting to being ' normal 'spoken by someone who has been there.all the best.

There is an injection that i was on called sublocade after 4 years on suboxone i was able to quite sublocade after my 5th injection whej i could have never gotten of suboxone due to the mental factor of taking something each day.. sublocade is a real game changer for people that are absolutely ready to get 100% clean

a reason to get off methadone is my freaking COLON, my large intestine has literally quit working and dr's don't want to help me figure it out. I'm in pain everyday.

[@kihntagious]

i will syay on buprenorphine for life. i have no other agenda but to live free of the craving and shame. it works if you want it to because the high is gone. but so is that crippling craving.

[@FitzSchlitz]

Obviously it is a different story for others. Everyone has their reasons or what not. If people want to get offf then more power to them…they would like to stay on then move power to them. Pretty simple. Do not judge because you never know what someone could be dealing with! My detox has been 4 years then another 2 for paws. I’m just glad I didn’t hesitate when I felt the calling. If I can do it, anyone that wants to CAN GET FREE. AGAIN…difference strokes, different folks. 💪 to anyone this resonates with please, drop me a message about your experience about this crap! Positive vibes, love your prayers your way my friend. 💪💪💪💪💪💪✌️✌️✌️❤️

Ive been on and off MAT for about 8-9 years. I relapsed once during that period and that was when i was pressured to get off of them early by the closest around me due to the stigma of being on the meds themselves. Even now the few people that know im on MAT assisted treatment now ask when um going to get off of it. I wish more people understood the benefit of MAT and didnt see them as harmful drugs.

[@kathleengivant-taylor2277]

Alot of 12 step meetings of NA say members on any mind altering substances cannot share but listen and share with someone after meeting. I don’t feel this is right. It stigmatizes people on MAT and other example would be people on phy mds.

​@@kathleengivant-taylor2277really?I'm sure that isn't true.

[@KnewEyes1990]

​@jwelch1027 yes me too.. I was on methadone for 6 years and I'm at day 33 without it.. my highest was 135mls but tapered down to 30mls and just stopped from there. Probably should have tapered down to 1ml but it's too late to turn around now lol... I had 3 straight weeks of physical withdrawals which were intense, then that started easing off a bit now I'm dealing with post acute withdrawals.. having alot of anxiety and depression but im pushing through. Hope your doing alright... how far along are you?

[@KnewEyes1990]

@@jwelch1027 yes it's the most brutal shit. I still don't feel right it my body even 33 days later.. its the first time I ever tried to come off methadone and was not realizing how horrible it would be...made it through the physical withdrawals without craving but since I got past those I've been wanting to use.. I think it's because of the anxiety and depression I'm dealing with now but not going to cave....Hoping you get through it this time cause I know how hard it is ❤️

I have a list of reasons to get off mat but I would rather run long distance for my mat than take an opioid. I could not run 20 miles the 3.5 years I was on mat and once I was 100 days off mat I ran a marathon again and plan to run ultras again.

[@otpays8552]

That's exactly how long I'm gonna be on it if I stay on schedule

[@otpays8552]

Congrats

[@indiamcdowell8932]

A reason to get off Suboxone is to not trade one addiction for another.

[@indiamcdowell8932]

Did anybody get RLS (restless leg syndrome) with paws? I haven't slept good due to this is 4 days. Any advice I'm not turning back!

[@OliveCandy38]

Well what about women who want to get pregnant? And not have their babies addicted to Suboxone? Men might have a easier time but there are many Suboxone babies who suffer tremendously.

[@theabdope8065]

If i ben using subs for a week and half 8mg will it be bad getting off it or since I haven’t ben on it long it shouldnt be a problem ? Plz some one respond

[@jasoncroyle5575]

Methadone the second worst decision of my life.

[@miyeko79]

Ditto! That shit is poisonous!! After being on it for just 4 months made my skin gross, and I gained a whopping 45lbs in those four months!! Plus the two clinics near me were full of dealers making it very hard to stay clean. I was still using off and on when I wasn’t methadone. I switched to suboxone and for me personally, saved my life! Methadone was my personal demon!👿

[@SonnyJim173]

Yes

[@WM-en4yl]

So many people going to Methadone and Suboxone clinics are still taking every loratabs and Percocet they can find. I'm confused

[@RunRiver777]

Dear Doctor, I would truly appreciate some help please? I am 45 and 13 years clean from Heroin ( i was born addicted as a result of my mother using during her pregnancy) I have used the lowest dosage of Suboxone for 13 years but now its out of stock country wide. How do i safly get through this? I am very afraid! I don't have a support system and i work full time at a very demanding job. Suboxone gave me a life i never thought possible but now it may no longer be available. I am in South Africa and our health system is nonexistent!! What advice can you give please?

[@Henry-gn8kn]
