In my experience, a total lack of an ability to feel joy and enthusiasm. I never liked em, I rather be clean than on subs. I've been in withdrawals before and I still won't take em.
I was on it 4-1/2 years subs never had a opioid addiction.. had a motorcycle accident and was put on perc 5’s after being released from my surgery doctor I was sent to a pain management clinic.. I was put on perc 7.5 after one year I told them I was done.. but the pain doc said you can’t just quit! I need you to take this film Under your tongue I was put on 8mg /2.0 subs 24mg a day! I never took over 1 aday but it changed me.. I was 34 years old at the time loved spending time with my wife and kids! Loved seeing my family after subs I was a homebody didn’t care to go anywhere. Didn’t care to spend time with my wife and kids.. I knew something wasn’t right my wife kept telling me I was numb! Me be 39 know I’ve never had problems with my testosterone I was wore out I had my family doc check my level it was 78!! I was in the 850 before subs it not only kills your sex life and hurts the ones around you also after quitting 2 weeks ago at 4mg I see now just how I was in a bad fog! I was like a robot! No feelings no emotions but just being off 2 weeks I feel much better if I can do it anyone can the first 6 days was rough!
@@lieutenantdan2217 nah. Only for like the first few months of withdrawal. If you taper down slowly to less than .25 mg, it’s not so terrible. I have quit it slowly, and I’ve quit it quickly. Quickly is terrible, and you don’t feel anything good for months. If you do it slowly and exercise a lot, it’s not bad at all.
Lpng term affects of subs for me, total lack of feelings or emotions other then sadness, anger, depression. Total slavery. Long term suboxone use is next to death, walking death. Walking soulless zombie. In my experience.
For me first few years was pretty great, it gave me motivation and emotional stability. My dose was 6 mg. But as years went by I found myself somehow without feelings, motivation, separated, antisocial... like a robot in a sense, no drive, no desires. So I finnaly start to taper it, Im now on 4 mg and going slowly... hope I can do it, it is time to move on... It is great to see other people that have done it and are in a better place... love to all that are struggling, we can do it! ❤

Your an absolute warrior,shame you had to suffer withdrawel.Its a thing of the past with brixadi and Sublocade.
Ive been on em 5 yrs now 2-3 a day :( ive given up tbh on life
I'm on suboxone now been on it for 2 yrs now I'm hoping to get off of it in the near future
Glad to hear you have plans to go off from it. Stick to it man, it will be worth it in the end!!
@@drugaddictsflyhi yep I hope so
You can't just rely on "hope". Hope is good, but it requires conviction & 100% dedication.
It's hard getting off buprenorphine. Takes a long time but better than staying on it.
