I started my first script of Suboxone 5 days ago and in my opinion it has changed my life for the better words can't even describe
Brian Loher so awesome to hear this. How are you doing now? Methadone patient here. It saved my life and I have nothing bad to say about it.
@@greenthumbstrummer Im still on Suboxone after maybe ten years or more? I have not had any problems whatsoever with cravings or relapsing and the medication certainly does help me to function in life however if anything ever happens that causes me to not have access to Suboxone for any reson, my life would literally fall apart. So, well I guess people live life with the help of medicines that they need for the rest of their lives for other things, and it still beats the nightmare world of chasing the next opiate or heroine fix.
I started 2 years ago with the Suboxone, it saved my life ! And hopefully I will be OFF of Suboxone by 5 years ( 🙏 )
Well it's been 4 years, hope your still on the wagon.. im 10 or so years on subs, saved my life..
Wait until you have to come off it! Its an opiate, just like the meds you took to be put on this. Withdrawals are the WORST of subs! Do more research please!
I've been n Suboxone for at least 5 years and it has helped me so much! I couldn't get through the days without it! Much better than taking all of the dangerous opioids!
You stupid fuckheads need to understand people still have issues it’s not for everyone some people just need there original meds
Im so sorry
My boyfriend started his today, and 20 mins after the first dose he was so much better. I’m so proud of him and anyone who would give it a try.
Nobody can defeat any addiction all alone. Sometimes the very most important part of getting clean is admitting that one does need the help of at least one other human being who actually understands at least some of what its all about.
I'm glad to see this. Its reassuring to know I'm not alone on this journey through recovery ❤☯️💯🙏😄
I hope you're still doing well Andrew. Love and respect brotha.
Good MAT video. Thank you.
I'm cutting could turkey today... I have suboxone on me but idk how to use it
Suboxone helped me get my life back. I made so many wonderful changes. I just fear getting off it now. It's going to be so hard.
Hey, how are you?
Hope everyone gets to be helped before it's to late. I personally had 2 close friends , never knew either had an issue..I had seen one the day before he died. Which was also the day I found out he had a problem. There's so many others ....SO many...please guys ,it's not worth you never opening your eyes again. None of my friends wanted to end their lives.neither thought it would happen to them.. it did. most od's are accidental
Sorry bro so sorry
After years on bupe it does suck the life out of you. Although it's a useful tool it's not without problems.
Getting of bupe in any form is hard.
Soboxone is a life saving drug I been dojng amazing for 2 years thank god for the people who made this drug
Methadone works better for me
True works better for some, subs work better for others. Be careful tho, methadone is longer-acting and much stronger than subs. They kind of have two different purposes as well. Subs are meant specifically for acute (short-acting) opioid/opiates like heroin, crushed up pills, fetty. Really anything that you Crush Snort or Shoot, subs are going to be the better option. Methadone is for ingesting such as ya know swallowing a 30mg perc or whatever else you tan orally. Also it actually is a form of an opioid that doesn’t just block/bind to the receptors, so it will give you a little “high” where as subs don’t give you a high and they block the opioid receptors to keep you from getting high.
What the neck is wrong with methadone. Before suboxon the world was simpler and easier. Methadone works great as an out patient life long solution if that's what you want.
If you want to get sober you’ll get sober !! And you still get high off these “prescribed drugs “ these people are not sober and it’s really sad people have found this to be acceptable
Get your fact straight suboxone doesnt cause high even if u take it up to 100mg.. suboxone just block your opiod receptor so u cannot get high or sick when u dont take heroin or whatever others drugs
You do not get high off suboxone! Methadone yes, subs no.
It is hard to get off any drugs that have taken your life, but if you use suboxone in the right way, it stops you taking God knows what and is safer!
Yes it’s a medication that costs and big pharma profits BUT so does the patient….
Going cold turkey has almost a 100% relapse rate, it’s not as easy as “if you want to get clean you will”
You can die just by tipping away opioids from your body.
I’m clean if drink and recreational drugs for 21 years, but suffered from chronic pain and now addicted to opioids. Many of them!
I go for my First suboxone treatment today, because I want to get clean!
I’d rather try than not havea life at all!
Comments like yours are the reason ppl do t seek help and try it alone. Then O.D because they take what they used too days into detoxing and it’s too much now and die.
There are good and bad to all things, but ppl want help, they need it, and they’ve made something to do that, it’s a hit of miss, I pray mine is a hit, a good normal hit that I can come off suboxone within days and then challenge myself after the first week of WD are out of my system.
It's a good drug. Saved my life but be warned. It's a bitch to get off of. I was in withdrawal for 2 months! It was horrible.
Hey brad. Are you still clean? Any tips for me I plan to taper down and jump.
Honestly though if you think about, being addicted to Suboxone is 1,000,000x better than being addicted to fetty, perc, xans, all that nasty shit. And it’s much cheaper, safer, and always ready so no need to ever feel like you’re going to fall off the wagon because you can’t get access to it.
Hey Brad I wonder how you long it took to start feeling normal man I’m 13 months clean and I’m still miserable I’m looking at my life declining I can’t get a head period no I find pleasure in anything I’m clearly lost everything thinking it would get better and better but it is not getting better it was same way when I was on it it’s same without it I never even took much I started 2ml for 2 years then another year 0.75 and 5 moths 0.1 and I’m still struggling big time
Scammmm!! These people are getting rich off this and families are falling for this
Looks like a scam smells like a scam.
However, Suboxone can often be had for free. Many people have gone from circling the drain to productive lives.
Nothing beats abstinence. I have mixed feelings about it
