| 1 | Opiod and Kratom addiction | I could not take the recommended dosage. I always ran out early and was constantly staring at the clock to see when I could take my next dose. I would wake up add late add possible and go to bed early so wouldn't have to stretch out the time between each dose. Terrible drug for me. | I've been off suboxone for 12 days now and still have stomache cramps, diarrhea, cold chills, head ache, anxiety, and worst of all, no energy. Zero.

Said I have a norko problem! | Iv about dieded several times passing out driving. Went from making love every other day for 1.5 to 3 hours to once a week for an hour! Destroying my relationship. Horrible moods, aditud, sleep patterns, headaches, u name it! Rather do street drugs! Atleast I had everything! | I was forced to by cps! My kids suffer now more then ever! I would rather just be a spirit then what this bs has done for me! | M | 42 | 0 weeks 12 1X day | 4/25/2021 | 1 | Heinrich pain | Waking to jerking and twitching. No balance in sleep department, either way too much or too very little. Extremely tired, tooth pain, HORRIBLE constipation, zero pain relief!

I'm tired all the time, I dream about what life would be like without it I feel numb and frustrated a lot of times for no reason except I want off but I'm scared of the wd I did it once and it was the harder than Percocet to come off. My advice would be to just withdraw off of whatever it is you're coming off of and be serious about your recovery or if you really feel you need to be on it ask for a very low dose and ween off while getting your mind right and your life together then get off! | F | 36 | 4 days 8 1X day | 9/19/2020 | 1 | I was given it against my will and | This is most evil thing you could take. It is known as the junkie killer. This is designed to addict quickly, and has a 30 day detox, the longest of any med. | Thevdr had the audacity to tell me I will be on this for life.

Watched my maleness drift away like the efficacy of subhuman suboxon. Pure garbage! | Take it back. Take that thing right outta here. Right away. Far away. | M | 4 years 8 /12 mgs. | 5/3/2017 | 1 | Chronic pain | Mouth sores and nausea, vomiting. Can't be due to terrible taste which makes me vomit I feel nauseous, hallucinations which is something I have never had, extreme dizziness, confusion, insomnia, rash that goes off and on and basically feel like I zombie, can't even put a sentence together due to brain fog, extreme itchiness, headaches daily, extreme anxiety and agitation | Was on Dilaudid TID for seven years after a near fatal accident which has cost me several physical problems and pain for seven years after a near fatal accident which has cost me several physical problems. I was not given this to detox but for chronic pain. I have tried everything I have a sensitivity to many drugs. I also have fibromyalgia which was a direct result from the accident. I don't understand why my doctor would switch me to Suboxone when Dilaudid was providing adequate pain relief. I have never asked for an increase and Jose or ask for an increase and how often I take it at this point the side effects outweigh the benefits, and would rather deal with the pain then the side effects. I'm scared about the hallucinations and that alone makes me not want to take it. I have concerns regarding acute injuries or surgeries that are not booked in advance and terrified that if something serious happens, I won't have pain relief. I also understand that this is incredibly difficult to withdraw from. Dr. Tapered the Dilaudid over a two day. And I was extremely sick, don't want to go through that again and since I've only taken it for 10 days, I am hoping I won't have withdrawal symptoms. I want to go back to what I was taking because I believe if something isn't broken, don't change it and feel that my doctor gave me this Suboxone even though she knows I take it for pain and due to the Mount of years I have been on it, I certainly don't get high and so I don't u | F | 53 | 10 days 8mg | 4/14/2016 | 1 | Coming off vicodin | At first severe night sweats and insomnia (lasted for weeks, nothing to do with the original addiction). Later, after about a year, extreme drop in testosterone, extreme fatigue and narcolepsy (I would just fall asleep at work, and every day take a nap in my car). Also, even taking the medicine twice a day, I would wake up with extreme anxiety. Towards the end, I would only feel like moving or thinking within two to three hours of taking a dose. | I am beginning to see more reports like mine. My doctor told me none of my symptoms were related to Suboxone, that it was all from the original addiction or depression. I was on this med three times as long as I was addicted to vicodin. I have been taking SSRI's for 20 years for depression and the stories coming out about suboxone remind me of trying to explain SSRI withdrawal to my psychiatrist. He absolutely denied it could be possible. It wasn't until forums like these began to appear that doctors were forced to acknowledge 'SSRI discontinuation sydrome'. They even had to make up a nice, medical sounding name for simple withdrawl. I am amazed that these intelligent but apparently naive or corrupt physicians would rather believe pharmaceutical sales reps whose only concern is profit than patients who just want to feel better. | M | 43 | 2 years 12mg | 2/24/2016 | 1 | Come off Percocet from pain clinic | At first side effects were nausea and sweating. Now there's whole myriad of side effects-no appetite =extreme weight loss, severe anxiety, narcolepsy, severe depression | Stick with natural opioids. You won't die if you run out. Suboxone is extremely dangerous and messes the entire endocrine system up. Along w your sanity. | M | 42 | 10 months 8-16mg/day | 2/4/2016 | 1 | Opiod maintenance | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG FOR MORE THAN 3 DAYS! USE IT TO COME OFF OTHER DRUGS, NOT SUBSTITUTE ONE FOR ANOTHER! MAYBE THAT'S WHY THE CALL IT SUBUTEX/SUBOXONE, THEY WANT YOU TO SUBSTITUTE AND BECOME A LIFELONG ADDICT. MY PLAN WAS TO TAKE IT UNTIL I WAS READY TO STOP AND HAD MY LIFE IN ORDER ECT. THIS PLAN IF BACKFIRING BECAUSE AT FIRST I FELT GREAT AND MOTIVATED AND NOW I FEE TIRED AND DEPRESSED AND UNMOTIVATED. I HAVE LOST WEIGHT, SEX DRIVE, LIBIDO, HAD PROBLEMS WITH TOOTH DECAY, AND MAJOR INSOMNIA AND OVERSLEEPING. ONCE AGA IN DO NOT TAKE FOR MORE THAN THREE DAYS. | I WOULD RECOMMEND NOT TAKING THIS DRUG FOR MORE THAN 3 DAYS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. TRY TO COME OFF WHATEVER YOUR ON NATURALLY AND TOUGH IT OUT. EAT BETTER, SLEEP BETTER, GET OUT THERE AND HAVE SOME SEX, EXERCISE EVERYDAY. BECAUSE ONCE YOU ARE ON SUBOXONE YOU DON'T HAVE CONTROL ANYMORE, YOUR BRAIN IS HIJACKED AND CANNOT HEAL UNTIL YOU STOP TAKING IT. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME AND THAT I HAVE THE POWER AND STRENGTH TO GET OFF THIS CRAP! OPIODS MAKE 15BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR FOR THE BIG PHARMA. LEGAL DRUG CARTELS.

I took suboxone 6mg on the first day and had no side effects. The second day I took 10mg and I was admitted to hospital with liver failure later that day. Then my kidneys failed. Then a few weeks later I got a bad headache and suffered seizures. I was hospitalized then I had a cardiac arrest. ALL BECAUSE I TOOK SUBOXONE. Think twice about taking this drug. It ruined my life and I have nightmares. | Think twice about taking this drug. It nearly killed me. | F | 37 | 2 days 6mg 1X day | 8/13/2015 | 1 | switched from methadone | Extreme weight loss, depression, insomnia, panic attacks, anxiety and just not feeling right everyday | Do not take this drug it will ruin your life I was hooked on heroin went on methadone for 2 years then switched to suboxone for 2 years because I was told it was a better drug and I didn't have to go to my chemist daily was I wrong it changed my personality completely I was outgoing before this drug and I wouldn't even leave my house while I was on it.

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)
