I started my first script of Suboxone 5 days ago and in my opinion it has changed my life for the better words can't even describe

[lori]

I've been n Suboxone for at least 5 years and it has helped me so much! I couldn't get through the days without it! Much better than taking all of the dangerous opioids!

Nobody can defeat any addiction all alone. Sometimes the very most important part of getting clean is admitting that one does need the help of at least one other human being who actually understands at least some of what its all about.

I'm glad to see this. Its reassuring to know I'm not alone on this journey through recovery ❤☯️💯🙏😄

My boyfriend started his today, and 20 mins after the first dose he was so much better. I’m so proud of him and anyone who would give it a try.

I'm cutting could turkey today... I have suboxone on me but idk how to use it

[dagestanifive]

Suboxone helped me get my life back. I made so many wonderful changes. I just fear getting off it now. It's going to be so hard.

Soboxone is a life saving drug I been dojng amazing for 2 years thank god for the people who made this drug

Hope everyone gets to be helped before it's to late. I personally had 2 close friends, never knew either had an issue..I had seen one the day before he died. Which was also the day I found out he had a problem. There's so many others ....SO many...please guys, it's not worth you never opening your eyes again. None of my friends wanted to end their lives.neither thought it would happen to them.. it did. most od's are accidental

After years on bupe it does suck the life out of you. Although it's a useful tool it's not without problems.
Getting of bupe in any form is hard.

[janedoe]

Scammmm!! These people are getting rich off this and families are falling for this

[stevenlennon]

What the neck is wrong with methadone. Before suboxon the world was simpler and easier. Methadone works great as an out patient life long solution if that's what you want.

[bradjones]

It's a good drug. Saved my life but be warned. It's a bitch to get off of. I was in withdrawal for 2 months! It was horrible.

[janedoe]

If you want to get sober you’ll get sober !! And you still get high off these “prescribed drugs “ these people are not sober and it’s really sad people have found this to be acceptable

[timhealey]

Methadone is just as good, if not better and is $7 witth insurance and $22 without insurance. Suboxone is hundreds of $$$ with or without insurance.
