Hello. I know that Methadone works and I thought Suboxone was a Godsend. My husband is an addict. I have suffered through him stealing my medication for years. The final straw was when he had a seizure after taking an entire months worth of Ultram in one day. He checked himself into a rehab facility that night. The doctor there decided to put him on Suboxone tabs. Later changing that to the film. I was monitoring his meds for the next year. However I got fed up with being accused of shorting him of his Suboxone. He was only allowed 3 daily. So I gave him his lockbox of meds back after removing mine. He was fine for a day or two then he started acting strange. I counted his Suboxone and he had taken 8 in 2 hours. He was abusing it and was getting high. I finally left after 17 years of marriage. I believe that the drugs that are ment to help people with chronic pain are wonderful and it doesn't matter what the drug companies do to try and prevent abuse. If an addict wants to get high they will find a way to abuse the medication and the system to get what they want. I have witnessed it first hand. I applaud those who are trying to stay healthy and go to Suboxone Clinics and Methadone Clinics to get help. Those who go to rehab because they realize they need help and can't do it alone. However I have also seen rehab used as a vacation away from home and work. Used as a free place to stay with a warm bed and 3 meals. To get out of going to jail.
I wish all of you good luck and fortune. I'm sorry if I have offended anyone with my rant. I'm only speaking of my own experiences.
Drugs just cause heartbreak and sadness no matter which end of it your on. I'm sorry your marriage came to an end because of drugs but thank goodness you had the strength and guts to know when you had enough. I hope the life you have now will be filled with much happiness and all your darker days are behind you. Take care. Mary.
I am so sorry about your situation. But you are smart enough to know that his problem is not your problem and you can't help him. He may blame you for all of his problems, been down that road and he ended up overdosing on heroin and is now deceased. If he were alive, he would blame me for that too.
Stay strong, don't fall prey to the suicide threats he may throw at you. Minimal contact and find yourself a good man!!!! They are out there.
Love to you and you will be ok if you stay strong and true to #1 YOU
By the way, I am an opiate addict on Methadone for 4 years and tapering off. We all have choices.
