I transferred from methadone to suboxone. I have been on subs for 2 years now and really like it. My body stopped making endorphins completely so I'm one of those people who will most likely have to take medication until the day I die.

I have a few issues with how the medication is handled by physicians, but all in all, it's the physicians who are the idiots, not the medication.

As a warning to all of you who are just beginning suboxone treatment. In the AE reports on suboxone (adverse effects) there is a potential for the medication to cause spontaneous hepatitis. If you notice extreme fatigue, combined with a slight to severe yellowing of the skin, call your doc immediately. It's rare, but not so rare as to be inconsequential, and can affect you within the first 6 months of treatment, as the body is acclimating to the medication.
