It's been a couple of days since your post. Others may have been confused by it. At first, I was a little confused but think that I may finally understand it.
You've been trying to get off opiates but have been unsuccessful. I'm assuming that you've been taking Neurontin (Gabapentin) to help either with nerve pain or anxiety. And four weeks ago you went on an opiate binge, though you haven't mentioned the specific drug (heroine, oxys, vics...?). Am I correct? And now, you're on Sub (hopefully because you intend to never go back to using narcotics). Your main concern seems to be the swelling.
I'm not a doctor (obviously) but I have had swelling issues with Suboxone, to the point of my shoes not fitting. When that happened, I spoke to my Sub doctor and he authorized lasix. Within a day my ankles and calves showed improvement. In three days, they were normal size.
As far as the benefits of Suboxone is concerned, only you and your doctor can determine that. Are you able to stay off narcotics without the Suboxone? The answer to that question should help you to determine what the benefits of Suboxone may or may not be.
