I Want To Thank All You Guys

for your help and support during a really rough period in my life. i got a lot of help here. for the people that dont know i went through rehab and then relasped back to pills, pretty much anything i could get. finally i decided that i couldnt take it anymore and went to the doctor for help. he put me on bupernex and i have been on it for 5 years now. my company changed there insurance and the new insurance company wont cover the bupernex so i am on suboxone. i just want to thank everyone in here for there help with all my questions on the suboxone. so far is working ok its not the same as taking a shot but so far so good i am keeping my fingers crossed since i really dont have a choice at this point it would cost me a fortune to get the bupernex since i was on 200 of them for the month. the cost was between 500-to 900 hundred dollars depending which pharmacy i went to. the suboxone is only costing me 50 dollars a month for a 30 day supply. once again i want to say thank you to everyone.Sharon if you happen to read this i would like to join the group that you were talking about the other day if you could give me the address so i can attend that would be great

I am relatively a virgin at this...and am not completely free from all pills. But I have gone 7 days w/o 200-250 mgs of oxycontin now. Always crushed...injected. When I finally faced that I couldn't go through another ct until I could fill my scripts I suffered horribly. I received sleeping pills and lortab on day 4. Told the doc no more oxy. With sleep I am making it. My use of lortab is low...pain control so far. I suspect I will need to continue to use it. The big question is, can I control it. So far only as prescribed. I guess what I'm saying is with my history of intense abuse, ct with the oxycontin was the only way to go. It was indescribable...a true trip to hell, but I now feel hope for the 1st time in years. I take a sleeping pill at night, and 2 or 3 10/500 lortab per day for the last 3 days. For me, to go to another narc to withdraw would only cause more abuse. Maybe if you can bite down hard baby...ride that week out. I am a chronic pain patient. I have a ruptured disc above a 4 disc fusion. More surgery....no. I'd be fused above the waist with more to come. So the oxy made sense awhile. Pain got a little better, but still I used more. Then the shame of always coming up with excuses why I needed to fill early, etc. looking in every medicine cabinet for something to steal, the mail order stuff...just had to drop it. You would be surprised whaat you can do. It was SO scary. Get someting to sleep, say your sick and take a week off as best you can. Then you gain hope! How sweet it is. God bless you dear. Don't underestimate yourself. The anticipation is worse the nthe doing, but the doing is damn hard too. I went 3 years w/o a break on oxy. 3 years. I know it'll take a while. Stay tough.
