Can't Decide

I have been reading about subutex (one of those, w/ without blocker ??) and was thinking of trying it out.I have tried methadone in the past and did well the last two times on it.I had legall problems from my addiction and had to go to jail so I had to stop the methadone when I went to jail.I was on methadone for almost a year and my counselor was even asking me what I thought about subutex, he thought that I wuold be a good canidate for it, because I was staying clean and not on a high dose of methadone, When I got out of jail (wich was only for a couple of months) I was trying to stay clean, but did'nt work so now I was thinking of trying subutex. I live in an area that you have to travel to get to a methadone clinic, and can't really drive ( that's one of the things that got me in trouble in the first place!) If anyone has been on methadone and subutex and can compare it for me. I do work around machinery ect. THANKS!!
hello
Maybe if you just wanna post this on the "Heroin" board cos that's where the most people on subs are. You'll get really good advice there.
Keep well, angie x
Hi none, just wondering if your legal problems had to do with prescription fraud, I only ask because I am going through that right now and scared to go to jail. Sorry if I am being to forward just trying to get a feel for what I am in for.My addiction is perc's and i am in Canada.
I could not kick my heroin addiction. I was in and out of rehab, saw my husband in the mortuary from a heroin Od and it couldn't stop me and when I finaly reached my rock bottom, the withdrawals were too hectic. I took Subutex and have never looked back. I cleaned up with little pain & no cravings and I have not craved since. Stay on the maintenance programme, but also make up your mind that it's enough this time. The suffering becomes too much. Good Luck!

You are such a powerful example of recovery. Sorry to hear about the death of your husband. Everyone bottom's is different unfortunately some don't walk away from their's. I have lost near and dear from heroin ODs and can only leave the whys and wherefores of their terrible "bottoms" in God's hands.
