My daughter started on 16 mgs. a year ago and it was the difference between day and night for her. No cravings, no withdrawals. She is down to 4 mgs. and has had some minor withdrawal that lasts a couple of days. Her mood actually was better when she first started the Suboxone. But that could have been the pink cloud of early recovery. She also did the work that she needed to do while she was in rehab and the halfway house and when she came home she was pretty well stabilized on the Suboxone. She still does meetings, reads the literature and stays away from people, places and things. So far Suboxone has been a pretty good tool for her to stay away from the heroin and learn to live life on life's terms. Hugs, Marle
