Everyday is hell
 
So I've been on Opana for a year and now suboxon for the past year. Everytime I try to quit I get these rediculous lower back pains that give me no motivation to do anything. I always try to quit but its just too much. And also having to attend my job on top just keeps me running back to any kind of opiate to get through the day. Please someone help. I can't keep this up. I'm all but 6 foot and I weigh about 120 pounds barely

Hi and welcome Hookissick :)
Have you seen a Dr about this pain?

There must be better treatment options than opiates to get through the day?

One of the main reasons I didn't see a doctor was because I've heard you get black listed from opiates if they know your addicted. So I've been tryin I quit on my own without getting into any rehab or anything. I know it sounds Dumb but I can do it. I have before with past drugs.

If I would happen to get hurt. I want pain meds rather than have nothing.

but is doing it by yourself really working? you've said you can't keep this up?

If it was me? blacklisting would be my last worry - even if by some chance you were blacklisted there's many many other pain relief options outside opiates.

Find a doctor who specializes in getting patients of these meds. Doing it on your own is usually the worst thing you can do to yourself. Sometimes doctors can give you something that counteracts with the symptoms you are having that won't get you addicted. Find a doc, do it under their care, and you will get through it. If you get blacklisted, find another doc once you have completed this issue first.
