YEa - Me too... I had the same habit, same dose...Suboxone is a great great thing! I have a dope colombian wife, and I almost lost her because of Oxys/Roxi's....Such an fool! but you know what it feels like. -> Mad Good,!! But I remembered that I liked myself a lot before I started using so heavily, and as I was using i didnt really respect myself.....But I am back to the old me just like you said! And i like it, But I frequently have serious cravings... I think i am gona go to NA or AA, just to have alittle anonamous suport - Luckily - not everyone found out about my little 3 year affair with the pills, and i want to keep it that way....Hows getin clean in tha dirty Jerz? Not knockin' on the jerz - I have a lot of friends from there, I went to Northeastern 99-04.

Hi, there. I am on Subutex. It is the same as subuxonebut without naltrexone. It is my second time on it. It works for me only a few days and then the craving is back. Could you please describe the side effects from the suboxone and how do you feel when you take it. Is it like a satisfied feeling or what? If I may ask or allowed to ask on what dosage you on an for how long?Thanks! I feel so glad for you and keep the good work up!You're doing GREAT!

Could you please answer the same question as what I asked Ryan. I am just curious why the Subutex makes me still crave and sometimes it feels if it makes me crave more?I wanted to try methadone as long term maintenance treatment,but no doc would give it. I live in South Africa

Whats good butterfly.

So your on sub and still have cravings, well thats normal. Sub doesnt completely make everything perfect, its helps but it comes with a price. For me sub w/d were like nothing ive ever had with dope sickness. The sub was way worse. Have you ever tried kicking cold turkey?
