|  Hello Nate!!Welcome, welcome, welcome!!  I am so happy to see that you have decided to become a member here! I understand that you are currently on Methadone, but are considering Suboxone? Are you dealing with pain issues? If you are, some people say that the Suboxone helps with pain, others say it does not. I personally do not feel like it helps me with pain. But, if you don't have pain issues, then I really encourage you to give Suboxone a try. I had been on opiates for 16 years & had tried to quit so many times, in so many different ways that I truly lost hope. I thought that I was just one of those people incapable of living without opiates, despite hating myself for taking them. I went to a detox where they used a drug called Subutex to get me off of the oxycontins & while there, I learned about a maintenance drug called Suboxone. I ended up going onto it on May 5th, 2008 & now have almost 20 months clean. It was a miracle for me! I do not want to say that it is better than Methadone because I have not been on Methadone to be able to say either way, but I do know that you do not grow a tolerance to it, that the less you take, the better you feel and that I know it has saved my life! I hope that you will read up on it on the link directly under any of the moderators names. Mine, Dee or Barbara's all have the links to direct you to the site where there is just a wealth of information on Suboxone, as well as there is a link to a Methadone site as well. It is all HON certified (100% accurate most up to date information) Many members here have made the switch from Methadone to Suboxone & would be able to share more personally what they preferred or how they specifically feel.By the way, my name is Beth & I am really happy that you have made it to here. I would love to hear more about you & what is going on with you or if there is anything you need help with, we have such a great group of people! Barbara is the other moderator & she has been working quite a bit lately, but I am sure that she will be by to say hello as well as our special friend Cathy, who are just some of the nicest people who are going through the very same ordeals that all recovering opiate addicts have to endure & we understand each other from having been in those same stinky shoes!  (right Kimbo?) We almost have a second family here!!Look forward to hearing from you soon Nate?Your Friend in Recovery,Beth  | |
