suboxone update

hello all,

I wanted to post that since starting the Suboxone, I have had zero RLS and I feel like an all new person.

After two decades of suffering, I don’t even think about it anymore. It’s such an incredible feeling to be free of this malady. Plus I’m completely off oxycodone.

I take one quarter of a film of buprenorphine naloxone which amounts to .5 mg/.125.

I’m still taking a statin, and since dropping oxy I’ve had to add in 500 mg of Tylenol two times a day for chronic pain.

After so many stops and starts over the decades, I feel great with very few side effects. I wish the same for everyone here.

I am delighted for you. I feel the same. I know Buprenorphine doesn't work for everyone but it saved my life. Like you, I am totally RLS free and sleeping brilliantly.I now want to make sure everyone else can access Buprenorphine to see if it can help when Oxycontin and pregabalin just don't cover the RLS.

It’s a shame that, depending on which country we live in, our access to the proper drugs is limited. I had to fight for years in the US to get what I wanted, when I was only perceived as a drug seeking middle-aged woman. Suboxone has completely saved me and I’m very grateful for Dr. B.
