opiate dependence
"I've been on Suboxone for almost a year and a half now. Like most people taking this medicine I started out trying to kick a habit. I had always heard that Suboxone was just trading one addiction for another so I didn't want to take it for long. I tried to taper off after just 2 months of sobriety and relapsed almost instantly.  Now, I listen to the doctor and just take the pill. I have had side effects, and the most annoying is losing weight. I would recommend Suboxone to those who really are trying to change their lives.  Suboxone played a part in me gaining a life and I am very grateful for that. And anyone who thinks taking Suboxone doesn't make them clean has no idea what they are talking about, and they should see a real doctor."
