I was relying more on the muscle relaxers because I had returned to work and my pain had increased. And just as important, I also was not in a position to take the suboxone at work, as I was on the phones all day, literally. (Not working anymore.) I know from taking the two meds and my reaction to them (pain-wise) that each one is helping my pain in their own way. If I were to go off of the suboxone, I would have greatly increased pain. The majority of my pain is addressed by the suboxone. The zanaflex helps sort of push me over the edge, so to speak. But I’ve no doubt that the sub does more for my pain than the zanaflex. If I forget to take that, I’m generally fine – I don’t even take it regularly, only as needed. But if I forget to take my suboxone, my pain goes up considerably. I also know other people who take suboxone for pain and who get good results from it – and that’s the only thing they take.
Bboy, it almost seems like you’re saying you don’t believe sub works to treat ANY chronic pain. Maybe I’m misunderstanding you. I know that suboxone didn’t work out for you and that you were very unhappy on it. But that’s behind you and you’re happy now, right? Why not focus on that and leave the rest behind? If people are getting chronic pain relief from suboxone, good for them….good for me.
