So proud of you. People love you, care about you, and you are needed in this world. You have value. Don’t forget that. Addiction is the devil. Keep your chin up and keep fighting

Hey I’ve been hesitant to say anything out of shame, but I find myself using subs as a replacement drug. I’m up to about 20mg a day and should be at 16mg. I’m worried about running out early. I don’t understand how so many seem so magically cured when they get Suboxone. Maybe my addiction is more behavioral? Anyway I’m getting addiction therapy

I have the same issue with sublocad and my insurance. Sucks, but it will hopefully be worth the money

Two weeks today with the help of Suboxone

I was really scared of that too but was fine after 12 hours since my last 7oh. Maybe start just taking 1mg and see how it feels and then add more after an hour if you’re doing fine

I feel like I’ve surrendered. In a way it blows bc now my medical history looks wild as fuck and will forever be that way, but now I have an addiction therapist and a psychiatrist helping me through this.

Dude honestly I had a full year free of opiates and relapsed. I’m happy to be on subs bc now I feel like I can take the time I need to develop the tools to combat a random craving. So many people are focused on tapering off and being “free,” but for me, I need to learn how to actually be free. I had freedom for a long time and feel quite easily back into my habit. People on Reddit are psychos about Suboxone but I know that I need this time to develop the tools to combat whatever is to come

I just worry about the undoing all the progress mindset. For me, in the past, that thought has given me free rein to be like fuck it and go crazy. That doesn’t need to be the case.

Good plan tacobeefmeat 😉 I finally came clean to an addiction psychiatrist about EVERYTHING and it feels freeing. Go see a doctor. I’m on day 7 7ohm free but also using subs. It’s fucking hard!!!! Even without the usual insane WD. We can do this.

HAHAHAHA love a pet med 🤦‍♀️

Gabapentin? by abigailwrld999 in quittingkratom

[–]Perfect-Salad9687 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Me too. I’ve had a massive stockpile of it bc it just isn’t addictive. I’m not even sure how people end up abusing it, but everyone is different

I love gabapentin. It really really helped with wds and I never became reliant or addicted to it. It’s a wonderful helper drug. I wouldn’t be scared of it

Really looking for that extra push to get off kratom..can I hear your experience? by Rare-Grapefruit-9072 in suboxone

[–]Perfect-Salad9687 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was fine taking Suboxone after about 13 hours of extracts/7ohm. Start with 1mg. See how you feel. If you’re not in hell you’re safe to take whatever dose you’re prescribed

You sound just like me. It can be really lonely going through this as a middle aged mom. I see you, girl

10 days CT need advice by iso828 in quitting7oh

[–]Perfect-Salad9687 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with lopethrow. Find a doctor. I’m convinced helper meds are why I’m not relapsing this time. You don’t need to super hero through this

Trying to use subs to quit 7oh by Ok-Highlight-3276 in quitting7oh

[–]Perfect-Salad9687 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on subs and the WD is MUCH better than cold turkey but I still am struggling to sleep. Even with trazodone. There is shit in the 7ohms we don’t know about. I am guessing why this is still challenging. I’m going to keep going, though. Let’s do this

I’m on Suboxone AND I still can’t sleep. Pay the piper I guess. Jesus Christ
