Hi, my name is Sheena and I need some major help. I'm a heroin addict and I've been one for 3 years now, and I've tried getting clean oh, about 6 times and even though I really meant mostly all of them, this time I am very serious and the reason why I know I am is because I have nothing else to lose. I have lost my family, my son which is the most important thing in my life and what I lived for and the more time apart the more hope I'm losing. I'm ugly now, I have these dark circles that wont go away, my hands look horribe and all I want is to be able to wake up and think of what I could be doing to get my son back instead of "Oh God, I hope I can get enough today. So my problem now is I have taken suboxone so much that it just doesn't work anymore. I swear it is not in my head, I literally have every symptom as if I haven't taken anything and the reason why I know this isn't right is because of the fact that I have taken it before and I know what it was suppose to do. Also I don't want to get on methadone because I don't want to get on something else plus I tried it before for about 3 months and I felt way worse getting off than i did the heroin. I"m wondering if there is any other way something I can take, I have no hope and I need some I want to get off so bad. If there is anybody who knows about any alternatives I would really appreciate it. I truly need help.

Morning Sheena
I have questions that might help those here help you.
Can you tell us how much sub you are on, and how long this time you have been on it where it seems to not work?
I am not sure why the sub isn't working. Not sure I have ever heard of it not working. But I have seen what could happen if you take it, then go back out and retake it again to get life back under some kind of control. When they went back out the lowest possible dose that stemed the tide the first time didn't really do the same thing the next and it took longer to adjust....
Also you can ceiling out on sub. Meaning that you might be taking to much which would make you feel terrible. This can happen in the first few days while adjusting your dose, or happen over time once on where you start to not feel good and a small drop can make you feel better.
This drug is so damn complicated most of the times.....
Love,
Tina

Almost certainly you are either on too much or too little.
If you are having using thoughts, your dose is too low.
If you feel sick, it may be too high.
Sub has a ceiling effect which means there is a point at which taking more gives you no more effect.
Like Tina I would like to know what dose you are on.
