YES. I have found a major improvement in my mental health that I think goes beyond being drug free. Before I got and stayed clean, I had FIVE stays in rehab in just ONE year. At one of those I was finally diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. I had been mistakenly diagnosed in the past with a variety of mental illnesses. When I looked up BPD, it was like somebody had written a diary about me without me knowing. It was probably 98% accurate. When I took my very first Suboxone dose, I could not believe the feeling. It was literally the FIRST time I thought I was feeling normal EVER !! the difference is that it was nothing like abusing opiates. No high, just NORMAL. BPD is one of the hardest illnesses to address with therapy and there are really no good, accepted meds for "fixing" it. After a while on Suboxone, I noticed a major improvement in my BPD symptoms. BPD causes horrible mood swings; seeing everything and everyone as black or white,, either all good or all bad and the swings are exhausting to deal with. I started doing some of my own research and Lo and Behold, BPD in some people is traced to problems with the mu receptors in the brain. Guess what Suboxone acts on? the mu receptors in the brain. So I think by accident, I stumbled on a good med for BPD treatment.
It makes sense too. Chemical depression is an imbalance in the brain. If the person's brain was not properly keeping certain receptors filled and balanced in the brain and Suboxone does it, people should feel better, especially those whose brains were especially unbalanced in the areas that Suboxone works on.
That said, knowing how the DEA/FDA operate, no matter how much evidence is found that Suboxone may help or even be the BEST treatment for certain mental illnesses,, there is almost no way that they would open that can of worms. Could happen but I wouldn't count on it. and HEAVEN HELP the suboxone doctor who prescribes Suboxone off-label for mental illness treatment
SO, IF you are feeling good taking Suboxone, don't over-react. It is good to be self aware to make sure you aren't taking it to feel high but if it is just making you feel GOOD as in NORMAL GOOD, that is a good thing and quite possibly just a GOOD BENEFIT of the suboxone treatment

Now I do have some issues -- I can't seem to get my dose under control, I have had some weight gain and edema. BUT I am happy, have a lot of energy, and am interested in life. One important thing to stress is the interested in life thing. When I was short on percs/vics I was not happy and not interested in life at all....
