Hi evrybody, i've recently been blessed with a son, but if we rewind back i was injured at a young age (18) however i still live with this chronic pain to this day, i've had an upper lapendectomy amongst other procedures to help my back, however i've been prescribed hydrocodone since then, i'm now 24 years old and can eat enough to kill a rhino, I have this new blessing in my life and i want to be there for him, however the days i don't have painkillers the pain is simply too much to deal with, i've been hearing about suboxon, so i've checked the internet, will it help with my pain? i have shooting pains down my legs due to nerve damage and what i believe was a botched surgery, things are'nt good on all fronts, i NEED to be here for my son, but i also need to be able to deal with this pain so as i can provide a life for him and our family. any suggestions from anyone who knows something legitimate as to how i can control my pain and not be hindered by that monkey on my back, and i know all these can't be good for my liver to boot. it seems i can function on 3 oxycodone when it would take 10 norco(hydrocodone) but good luck getting a doctor to write a script for oxy because of everyone who chooses to abuse them for all the wrong reasons, i'm curious as to what drugs can help control pain and what is safe to take while using subuxon to kick the opiate habit. and please, no preachy posts about god and how i need em in my life... what i need is an answer god or his fanatics can't provide by preaching to me, this is desperation for me, for my son.
So if i were to start suboxon to help kick the opes then i would later have to deal with withdrawal from suboxon? another thing is i travel for work, if subox is only dispensed at clinics how the hell would i even get it? am i basically stuck with a life of dependency on opiates for pain relief?
No, the good thing is you don't have to go to a clinic. Suboxone can be dispensed from a medical doctor. Just look in your area for one. Plus you only have to go 1x a month
ok and as far as withdrawal from suboxin itself? i'm like 4 days out now and its startin to get a little easier, just wonderin if i should just try to kick the opes and not worry bout subox, problem is pain management, it's crucial especially in my field of work
You may want to think of Duragesic(fentanyl patch) It's all that helps me with my spinal pain(9herniations, 4 comp. fractures, scoliosis). It is also addictive but seems to work much longer before needing an increase. I started at 50mcg almost 10 years ago and have just moved to 100mcg and I have had no surgery but look at the defects I live with. Fentanyl has given me my life back as much as I can have it, so the side effects have been limited but I feel its been worth it. I am what you call a 'controlled addict', but again, it has worked very well.
As to using Suboxone to kick the habit, it CANNOT be prescribed by just ANY doctor! It has to be prescribed by one who has special training in its use and there are only a limited number of them in the U.S.
