Question by mp: Has anyone used Suboxone for opiate addiction , basically to prevent withdrawals? Please explain.?
Right now i’m being slowly taken off opiates by my doctor who is just giving me lorcet 10/650’s and reducing the dose every two weeks. A friend of mine told me suboxone is wonderful for preventing withdrawals and getting off pain meds. If you have any experience personally with this I would really appreciate your advice and explaination of why you think its a good decision or bad decision to do. If you havent used it then please dont answer unless you are a doctor or pharmacist.

Why don’t you ask your doctor about it?
