welcome and it’s good you decided to reach out even if it is just a forum for sub.. it can be very helpful with support and answers. I am very sorry to hear about the lack of support and the divorce. I know you have to tackle one thing emotionally at a time this may be a beginning of new wonderful journey for you even if it doesn’t seem that way yet.. of course how things play out depend on you … I wouldn’t doom yourself yet by thinking if you get too depressed you will relapse, as for using suboxone a lot of people have reservations about it initially due to the opiate for and opiate perspective. Suboxone has worked well for me so far. I was eating percocet 10’s after a car accident, 3 months later got pregnant did not take any pills then but got back on pills after my son was born due to my back problems, i didnt just go back to taking a bunch a day after he was born of course you work your way up over the months and i was taking way more than i needed and when i would run out of my script get withdrawls , finally in jan i had withdrawl so bad i had my mom keep my baby overnight so i could try and rest. It was the look on his face when i left that did it. I never ever wanted to be away from my son because i was sick from a drug. i started sub 2 days later. it got rid of all my symptoms and cravings, I was living a "normal" life while on perc. i had a home a new baby full time job a boyfriend and here i was abusing meds. I wanted so badly to just get clean without any help but it was much harder than i thought so i chose sub.
it does take away the hardest part of opiate dependency so you can work on getting whatever else you need fixed, whether its addictive behavior , the reasons for your usage ect. Of course it ‘s a big decision because the med is a bit of a commitment and you will have to taper off of it. I am currently taking zoloft with my sub for anxity and depression and it does seem to help. I also take something else for anxiety which helps me a ton because sub made my panic worse. With me now i feel no buzz or anything off sub just as i did before i decided to start taking pills. I know this is long sorry i wanted to answer some questions the best i could , i have only been on sub for 2 months, you will find people on here very educated about this med and very willing to answer questions, the moderators are awesome and people for the most part are supportive, each story is different , but most of us are here for a common cause.. i wanted to ask did you find a doc yet? when are you planning on starting? other than what you wrote is there anything else about sub you are concerned about?
