Addiction related to suboxone

[devinFface]

Hi,

I may be asking my doctor to prescribe bupenorphine for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). I get the impression that there is a low risk of dependence for this drug in patients who are using it for TRD, and who do not ahve a long history of opioid use . I know that Patients who abruptly stop opiods can experience side effects ( complain of fatigue, upset stomach, and sometimes other issues) . This pallid imitation of narcotic withdrawal is generally not associated with craving, and indeed patients do not usually, associate their symptoms with having stopped a drug such as vicodin until they experience the relief occasioned by restarting their treatment. But thats not really part of my problem

Thanks very much guys.

Just quick comment here- I stoped Suboxone at 4mg and got sick as a dog, much worst that hydro /  oxycontin. I called my doctor and he told me it may be 2 weeks before I feel better. OR come back in and start out again on 2mg and taper off. I just didn't want to be addicted to anything again so I'm trying to get through it in other ways. Hot /cold baths and meditation is the best. No motivation needed...

I haven't tried that yet but I find this very insightful. It is really important that we make sure that we intake the right dosage.

suboxone has never made me addicted ,but depends on the person I guess.

subuxone is created to withdraw easy from opiates ,not the other way around

Hang in there, it's not easy but you'll look back at what you've accomplished with a sense of pride. Also, try to fill your day with music that you love played at "eleven." Your family and neighbors might complain but they'll get over it.
