"i am prescribed 600mg 3x a day.. it most definitely helps with my moods, back pain, and i think helps me relax and sleep. but i also take ambient,and clonazepam also at night.i am also an addict,but i do not abuse these 3 meds. i had a problem with pain killers and xanax.which now i take subutek to help with the cravings for these 2 meds. and i will say if you take them like your prescribed then they will help you.   but of course you need a sponsor and go to meetings."
