Anyone on here who is praising suboxone is either still on it or only used it for a short while to get off of other opiates. I can't seem to figure out why more people don't realize what this drug really is. It's an opiate, and while you are taking it you are not clean. You do not get "high" from sub, I would call it an opiate "buzz" which subsides as tolerance grows. However, your body becomes very dependant on suboxone. It is a strong opiate as it fills a very large portion of your receptors. Im on day 6 of withdrawal after approximately 1 year of use. I still feel horrible with main symptome: restless leg type awful feeling, inxomnia, diahrea, can't eat, very very cold, chills, sweating while cold, back pain at times. Taking this drug long term is simply substituting one drug for another... Just because you don't get the same high doesn't mean your not using a drug.
