I went to a outpatient Doctor who said he could prescribe me Suboxone and ease me off of opiates painlessly. So I went on Suboxone to get off of Vicodin. Anyways I tried to taper multiple times and failed so I just stayed on it. Last 2 years on Suboxone were miserable for me, I was always tired and depressed. I could take 24 mgs and it felt the same as taking 4 mgs.
