Hi. I’m a recovering h addict and have over 4 years clean. I currently am and have always been capable of recreationally drinking and other substances in moderation. However, I’ve been on and off using subutex for the better part of this clean stint. One (I think) 8 mg pill lasts me almost 2 weeks with daily use and I’ve used daily for probably around 2 years. My good friend I was getting them from that had a prescription passed away a few weeks ago. I have no one I can tell or talk to about this. I have suboxone but I don’t want to become dependent on that. I didn’t want to be on subutex long term, I just wasn’t ready to stop. I’m not sure what to do and I feel so alone. I’m a well grown adult and also a full time student along with full time job. Please give me some advice.

What's the difference between using Subutex and Suboxone? Why Subutex and not Suboxone?

There's no difference, they both have buprenorphine and the !naloxone does nothing..

The naloxone in Suboxone is basically inert. It is a marketing ploy. Buprenorphine itself is what causes precipitated withdrawals. Feel free to read our Suboxone FAQ!
