Hi everyone, im new to this site and just want to say the help is out there!! I am currently on 4mg of BUPRONORPHINE i have been on this for almost 5 months after severe addiction to codeine!! the nightmare of addiction is the constant fear of running out of tablets the onset of withdrawls, tje shame & guilt and the stress trying to pretend u are "normal" but it is life changing if u have a good gp like i do!! I went to my gp who was prescribing me 8 dihydracodeine for my addiction until i got to a place called LAADS they are amazing the only nightmare is i had to be in withdrawel before starting this medication BUPRONORPHINE i saw a nurse and addiction Doctor who explained everything to me i was told to take no more codeine that day and my appointment was for the following morning!! so after an uncomfertable night with withdrawls kicking in i dragged myself to my appointment the next morning, i was so scared and very anxious not to mention ill with withdrawls BUT!!! i started on the meds and never looked back!! it worked within minutes and im off opiates nearly 6 months!! anyone can do it i promise its so worth it! i have my life back and i can tell u not having to panic every day about getting the codeine tablets is only 1 of the best feelings. Please feel free to ask any questions as i am only too happy to help if i can x

hi I'm a user here thought I'd drop by .
I've been herion opiates free for 17 years 2002 I stopped ive never used again .
unfortunately I'm still on subutex 8mg the dose has gone up and down over the years.
subutex feels normal where methadone you know your on it ( I hate methadone )
I'm currently reducing my subutex by 0.4mg a month I've halved my dose from 20mg to 8mg so far in 9 months.
