Introduction

Welcome to the Suboxone Talk Zone Forum!

This forum is a place for addicts and for those who love them to discuss addiction, particularly addiction to opiates (pain pills). Please join us to discuss symptoms, patterns, consequences, and treatment of opiate dependence. Recognizing that opiate dependence is a potentially fatal disease, we respect ALL effective treatments for opiate dependence, whether or not the treatment includes buprenorphine or Suboxone.

If you are not yet a member of the forum, please sign up and join us in our discussions. Membership is absolutely free. I only ask that you remember the following rules of this forum:

  • This forum is for people who have made their choice whether it be for Suboxone, for Methadone, or for meetings and no medication. While I recognize that some readers are not yet at the end of that choosing process, I ask that they read the information and make their decision without encouraging debate on the forum.
  • PLEASE Do not get into debating which is better-- such debates never change minds, and often introduce false information that clouds intelligent decision-making.
  • Show the respect for the decisions of others and avoid personal attacks.

I put this forum together with the help of an IT professional. We receive no compensation from outside sources beyond a few bucks per year from Google Adsense. Specifically, we receive NO compensation from pharmaceutical companies, including Reckitt-Benckiser, the maker of Suboxone and Subutex. If you are interested in supporting this site through advertising, please feel free to contact me. Any relationship with advertisers will be disclosed here. If you are a billionaire and hate addiction and want to send my kids through college, I would be willing to struggle with any moral issues caused by accepting your generous gift.

TalkZone Online Support Meetings

Starting June 29th (next Monday), We will be hosting online support meetings for those involved in Medication Assisted Recovery. Meetings will be on Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:30pm to 9:00pm (EST)

Please note if you are attending the format will be as follows:

  • A topic will be chosen and displayed in the chat area.
  • Upon your arrival into the chat room, please keep your interruptions to a minimum. the group will take turns chatting by order of arrival. While feedback is encouraged, private one on one conversations and blatant disregard for the person chatting are not permitted.
  • There is absolutely NO flaming, name calling, preaching, or derogatory comments allowed. If you engage in any negative behavior during meetings you will be removed!

I feel it is necessary to let you all know this is a place specifically for people using medication while in recovery under a physician's care, although all support is encouraged these meetings are considered an alternative to all other types of support group experiences, and are not intended to take the place of face to face counseling.

If you have any questions or comments please let me know. You may contact me through private message or on the board here.

We hope to see you in the meetings and are very excited to offer them! In order to enter chat, please click the chat link at the bottom of this page.

No new posts Why the Anger?
Why is the anti-Suboxone crowd so angry? Tell me your 'theory', or your guess. Whether it is toward my youtube videos, this forum, my practice... the anti-sub folks call me a 'greedy pusher' without knowing anything about me! I'm sure many of you have done battle as well. Just what is their problem, anyway?!

No new posts Opiates and Chronic Pain
I have used Suboxone to treat chronic pain in select patients, and it generally works pretty well. Do you take a combination of Suboxone and a different opiate? Are looking for a way to treat your pain with an opiate, with or without Suboxone? Fire away!

No new posts Family Stories
It is important to realize that our own perceptions well be altered by addiction; the road to true self-awareness requires listening what is said by others who know us, particularly if the also hope for the best for us. With that in mind, please post if you have family members or other close friends with addictions.

The pharmacist eyes you suspiciously, and suddenly you wished you had shaved earlier this morning... your second-grade teacher is in line behind you, talking to your girlfriends mother... as the pharmacist yells for all to hear, 'I'm sick of YOU PEOPLE-- and I'm not filling this for you anymore!' Or your doctor, after increasing your pain meds for years, suddenly treats you like a criminal...
