A drug thats designed to help people get off some pretty serious shit!!, "Innocuous"?? No Way, surely you werent that naive?

Thats a fair enough comment, but I could think of some far better drugs to "misuse" than sub. It doesn't even get you high

You knew Suboxone was an Opiate right? All Opiates are hard to quit, most a lot harder than sub

The first part of January a guy named blueindian posted about his relatively easy detox and mentioned Kratom. Shortly after this, I had to move suddenly and lost my internet connection but not before ordering some Kratom. I have only just today been able to write to thank him for the information.
All of you suffering through Suboxone withdrawal, need to look up, order and start taking Kratom. It allows you to sleep, eat and work. My son and I have not missed one day of work and it has been thirteen days since our last dose of Sub. My son was taking 5-6 mg. and day and I was ususally taking about 3. |
Good luck getting off Kratom, youll need it.

| I know a lot of you are not going to like what I have to say especially since I wasn't taking it for the intended reasons, but I have dealt with addictions of one sort or another most of my adult life. Suboxone is an evil, nasty, insidious, highly addictive drug. These doctors who prescribe it are either unaware or totally irresponsible. My son's friend who is on it said her doctor told her she will be on it (24 mgs./day) for the rest of her life. |
I don't really think anyone here would be too upset by what you have to say, actually most here would probably FEEL for you more than anything else and hope that you get the help you need before its too late. Perhaps one day you will get on to a good doctor and commence proper treatment using Suboxone the way it was intended.

Your intentions are probably good, just very very misguided. Suboxone has saved thousands of lives, used properly it is an amazing tool in combating opiate addiction.
All the best.
