I have been taking Hydro for many years. I feel so stupid about the addiction.
The pills no longer got me high, but I could not stop. I am happy to say that I never went to Heroin I know many do.
It’s very strange, I have done many drugs growing up in the 60’s and 70’s but never had a problem stopping. Would just not think about taking that drug.
I have been quite a drinker also for years, I can put that down also with no issues. I started Subuxon almost 2 weeks ago, I took only one that day but I swear it never crossed my mind to take any hydro after that. NO SIDE EFFECTS! I know that bSubutex will give you bad withdrawal but I here Subuxon will not do this.
I also have some side effects, or think they are, so I would also like to talk to someone that can let me know what they went through. I can at least say I am so pleased in the difference that I feel. I actually have energy and motivation! I don’t know if you can, but please message me or respond to my post. Thank you!
Please let me explain just a little, I have always had an addictive personality. I guess while taking care of my mom it became so down and out that I did turn to Pain medication. I have been desperate to get off of this and found Subutex. so far it has worked wonderful with no side effects. I finally feel free from all the medication and I'm so happy. Although this was a post made by mistake or should i say posted in the wrong category. Please if you know anyone that has an issue tell them about this medication. I have been happier now then in a very long time. I am not making excuses; I do have that addictive personality but caregiving to a loved one is so hard, and I messed up while taking care of my mom. Thank you to those who did answer. I do hope in some way this helped someone.
I have no hard data on this but I think family caregiving definitely could increase the risk of substance abuse or relapse of a previous issue. For me, wine in the evening = the caregiver's vacation. Thank God I was able to completely cut out alcohol in June 2020. Books like The Easy Way to Stop Drinking and This Naked Mind were key for me to realize I didn't *have* to drink anymore. What a relief to be free!
I don't know anything about any of the meds you mentioned but, I just want to encourage you to keep taking better and better care of yourself and may The Lord give you strength during this journey.
FYI my adult son's best friend and business partnerr successfully got off heroin through Suboxon. Now he's free of all of it. May you receive the strength you need to be fully released from your addiction.
