Suboxone: Methadone & Heroin Facts

Question: After suboxone treatment is over?

Has anyone been off of suboxone for awhile and NOT felt better? I did so well when on the program, but when they cut me off (gradually...but still I wasn't ready) I felf like I was back to where I started. I never took pain pills to get f***ed up, just to FEEL better. It was the only way to not feel depressed and anxious all the time. I'm on 120mg cymbalta now, and I really don't know if it's helped any....there are times I think it does a little, but not much. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.....I KNOW I would feel better if I started to exercise, it's just getting started I guess. that should have said felt, not felf- sorry I wrote this quickly! thanks Lone- I saw a post there that said the brain doesn't heal while on suboxone- I thought it was just me, but coming off of suboxone isn't different than the other drugs

Here's the perfect site for you. subsux.com Hang in there hun, is does get better. It just takes time, and yes, exercise does help. Time, clean time helps more..and yeah, the cymbalta is not helping. And you are lucky your program weaned you off this stuff. No one is ever ready, and you can see how bad this drug is by how you feel. It's called PAWS, and it's caused by Suboxone maintenance.
