Help with addiction to opiates?

Question

First off I am 21 years old. I have been trying to get off of vicodin and norco’s for the past 3 months. I was taking around 40 a day for the past 3 years. i went into a detox where they slowly weaned me off of them. I have had a few relapses but recently I have been clean for a month and am not on any maintenance program. Though I want to be. I have cravings every day and I dont want to relapse again but I also have a family who thinks that its just replacing one thing for another. I feel very lethargic and depressed most of the time. Would suboxone help with that or should I just keep trying to stay clean on my own without any help?? Honestly I dont think I can stay clean for much longer.

Answer 1

I was addicted to vikadin for a year and a half, taking 25-30 a day (10 mgs), I just started taking suboxone two weeks ago and it's changed my life. I have not take any norcotics since taking suboxone.

Once I took the pill I no longer had any withdrawl systems nor did I crave them. Since, I have been off for two weeks I am now starting to crave the "high" again but I know that with taking Subone you can't high on any opiods which makes it that much easier to stay off.

I would definiately recommend trying it. This is very hard to go through and I wish you the best of luck!
