Hang in There!
I was put on Suboxone to get off of pain pills and found the Suboxone much harder to wean down. I lived in Seattle at the time and was surprised many Drs. knew very little about both the side effects (I also gained weight) or the drug itself. My personal feeling was the Dr prescribing Subs had little interest in helping me getting off them (big $$ to be on it). I ended up going back to Vicodin and a friend helped me steadily wean down. (I could never do so on my own before). It worked within 3 weeks, only because I had a safe place to stay, no money and a strong-willed friend. You CAN do it but please don't risk your health. Do lots of research.
