The first time I took Subutex, I felt awesome as well. I honestly thought it was like a 24 hour opioid buzz, and I only had to pay 5$ a day. I didn’t tell my doctor either. 9 years later I see that period on Subutex actually made me more dependent on opioids long term, because my tolerance actually increased overall as the dose got pushed up. Long term result? It’s now harder for me to live without opioids. But not impossible. So there are ramifications to taking more Suboxone than we need IMO. |
For me, it’s hard to tell the difference because i have legitimate pain that Suboxone helps me with. It doesn’t make the pain seem not-present, but it does make it tolerable, which is why I like suboxone. So someone with a back problem would still know they have a back problem with suboxone…instead of like with Opiates where people re-injure themselves because they can’t tell they are hurting. I can still tell that I’m hurting, and still feel it..but just can manage it better.
