| 5 | Addted to opiates switched to subox | None I don't feel like I have taken anything | F | 68 | 8 years | 6/16/2015 | 4 | Withdrawal | Tired sex life no good | M | 65 | 48 months 8mg 2X day | 12/13/2021 | 3 | Oxycontin replacement | None | Never take this drug for more than a week or two. It's VERY difficult to kick. I thought I would be a "lifer" but didn't like the stigma associated with it every time I sought medical help so I slowly tapered all the way down to 1/2 mg. per day. You'd think that was cool, but jumping off that last 1/2 has been horrible and after 6 weeks am still experiencing primary withdrawal symptoms. Better to kick whatever else you're on and use a support group. Unless you're just willing to deal with it. I realize it probably helped me at first but be warned about long-term use. | M | 65 | 14 years 8 mg 2X day | 7/20/2020 | 5 | OUD | Constipation | Terrific medicine has taken away opioid cravings | M | 60 | 0 months 16 mg 2X day | 10/24/2020 | 5 | Prescription opiate addiction | No side effects | Suboxone saved my life. I was addicted to prescription opiates for pain. It was a vicious merry go round I was on for thirty odd years and I thought I would die that way. Then one day I was introduced to Suboxone and my life changed from the first dose. No side effects ever! I have been so lucky. Also I am in Australia and Suboxone is free here. I pick up my doses every week and it costs me nothing. I hate to think where I would be now without Suboxone in my life. Also Sub. has a pain killing substance which helps with my chronic pain and that coupled with Topamax, I have never felt better. It has turned my life around. I plead with everyone to please give it a go, it is a wonder drug and who cares if you are swapping one drug for another, it has none of the horrid connotations of the opiates. My life is now 'normal'. | F | 60 | 4 years 24 1X day | 2/23/2013 | 5 | Opioid Dependence | I started at 2mg twice per day. I felt extremely sleepy and even nodded off at different times of the day.

I know I need to give up the expense of smoking both cigarretes and pot. if by doing this I Will be able to offset some of my cost, the clinic I attend will lend support to this endeavor. | M | 59 | 2 months 8mg | 12/5/2016 | 5 | Opioid dependence/ chronic pain | I have had pancreatitis 4 times gastroenterologist in the first couple of years.

SUBOXONE (BUPRENORPHINE HYDROCHLORIDE; NALOXONE HYDROCHLORIDE): This medication contains 2 medicines: buprenorphine and naloxone. It is used to treat opioid (narcotic) dependence/addiction. Buprenorphine belongs to a class of drugs called mixed opioid agonist-antagonists. Buprenorphine helps prevent withdrawal symptoms caused by stopping other opioids. Naloxone is a narcotic antagonist that blocks the effect of opioids and can cause severe opioid withdrawal when injected. Withdrawal is less likely when naloxone is taken by mouth, dissolved under the tongue, or dissolved on the inside of the cheek. It is combined with buprenorphine to prevent abuse and misuse (injection) of this medication. This combination medication is used as part of a complete treatment program for drug abuse (such as compliance monitoring, counseling, behavioral contract, lifestyle changes). FDA Approval Date: 2002-10-08 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
