Yup, myself and a couple friends all completed successful soboxone programs. Been clean 4yrs with one slip up. Never fucked with methadone but heard all the same things, worse shit ever. Harder to kick than H. A friend of mine did go cold turkey off methadone and said it was absolute hell. 3 weeks into it and he couldn't believe it, still felt like ass. I've always felt going on methadone was a cop out. Methadone can get u high as hell and I think most addicts switch to it because they can't afford their dope habit anymore. Go get your cheap daily dose of methadone from the clinic! Soboxone just makes you level and taking extra does nothing, won't get u high. And almost forgot, it had the opiate blocker too. Can't get high off opiates up to 36hrs after you take subs
I switched to methadone because I coulnd't afford my suboxone anymore when I moved and lost my insurance.... Whats terrible about methadone, is A.Its extremely potent and B.You can stil use Heroin WHILE on methadone.
Most of the other addicts I was at the clinic with were using the methadone to NOT get sick, and still using dope on a daily basis. And I wound up doing the same, methadone was just a way for addicts to keep being addicts without having to go through the sickness when they run out of money.
When I decided enough was enough, I tried to kick mehtadone cold turkey... wasn't working. Wound up getting back on H, and then kicking that to Subs, and then weaning and kicking that about 8 months later.
