My first 4 years on sub were great, so I thought. I am six years in now and life has changed. I don’t believe you can stay on this stuff long term forever, it kills something in your brain, research is now showing that. That happy feeling will go away after a while and you I have found I am now a shell of who I was. This stuff was never meant for long term, do the research guys. When the time comes and you have to get off due to the side effects (like me) you will see the hell, i have detoxed from all sorts of stuff and this is by far the worse. My memory is so bad now, I had a scan compared to five years ago, and sub had made a mess of my brain receptors and it is bad, I have forgotten all sorts of important life events, so sad. Early dementia at age 37 I don’t it, Suboxone induced mess. Do your research guys, soon there will be a huge law suit coming to surface. I hate to bear bad news, but this stuff might get yanked and that will be a mess |
I think you are exaggerating a bit (about the lawsuit and Sub getting yanked, NOT about your illness), but I agree with your general premise. I think people should take extreme caution with long-term use. I myself have been on a year and a half. I only take half to 3/4 of a milligram a day, but I have temporarily halted my taper and this post and thread has given me renewed desire to get back to it. I am so sorry for what you are going through. I think that doctors suggest long term use before they even know what long-term use does to the body and mind. Its all about the benjamins in this industry, not much different than the homies selling dope. Are you tapering your Sub? How are you doing? Hopefully, as you come off Sub, you will start to eventually feel right again
