What an interesting idea you have; it made me think when I applied your theory to myself. I did not go on suboxone voluntarily, as some of you may recall. I was in a psychotic episode when I was put on suboxone without my permission and with no informed consent (by anyone on my behalf). I’m not saying that I regret having done it, because I don’t. I know it was the best thing. But you’ve made me consider something I’ve never considered before: What would have happened if I were given or treated with your option A? Would I have had a chance of moving forward without suboxone? I’m a pain patient, so maybe not, but maybe so, too.
I’m not one to look backward and regret things, so I won’t think lose any sleep over this or anything, but it is a bit disconcerting when, like I said, I apply it to my rather unique situation. It already bothered me that I was put on suboxone with no end in sight, and no one bothered to tell us what it was (not even my husband). Forget about telling us that it was just another opiate that I’d still be dependent on, etc etc etc. But hey, I am where I am right now, right? I can’t go backwards – all I can do is go forward from here.
I thank you though. You’ve definitely given me a new perspective, perhaps just due to the way you presented it, and that’s always a good thing.
