What's amazing to me is not how wonderful the drug can be if it's administered correctly and taken in the proper way...What makes suboxone so difficult to withdraw from is while the intensity of those acute symptoms that I described...the only thing you have to worry about moving forward is the cravings that you have, which ultimately, a lot of times leads into a relapse.
In this episode, Mr. Joe opens up about his intense battle with substance abuse and the rocky road to sobriety. After three years on Suboxone, he decided it was time to stop the treatment and confront the brutal withdrawal symptoms head-on. Imagine dealing with vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pains, body aches, headaches, fevers, and anxiety—all at once. It's a harrowing experience, but Mr. Joe doesn't shy away from sharing the gritty details.
