Opiate Dependence
"I have struggled with opiate addiction for 6 years, for which I&#039;ve taken Suboxone for 4 separate rounds of treatment.  The longest clean times I have ever had throughout this time is when I was on Subutex or Suboxone (I have used both).  I cannot say enough great things about this medicine, it has truly saved my life.  I am off of it now, and I had NO issues weaning off....it must be done thoroughly, slowly and patiently.  The biggest mistake is people trying to stop at 2mg, which is still a high dose. One must go all the way down to an almost crumb/sliver of a piece of pill or strip.  If following protocol in a program, you can successfully come off of it. "
