Chronic pain people that fall through the cracks!

Mine only gives the buprenorphine with naloxone.
I have tried going long enough to try the strip, but it’s REALLY IMPAIRING (!!) and I will not be free of opiates long enough to survive getting started with it.
And.
Once I did quit opiates long enough to get started, I would be WASTED on buprenorphine and unable to function.
Then I would be told to KEEP TAKING IT AND I will not likely ever have FEELINGS again, and I won’t likely have ANY HELP getting OFF the buprenorphine that is politically correct and medically absurd. Our country is completely stupid. And dumber every day.
California is spending a ton of time and money arguing about paper or plastic…
Why not TREATING CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS CURRENTLY IN EXTREME DISCOMFORT?
(Just blowing off steam. I’m not literally this crazy. I AM literally outraged that we are not even accessing poppy plants anymore?!)
But booze is flowing…

Hello I agree with what you say about how crazy it has become.
I however disagree with bupe covering up feelings. I have been on it for years and it takes care of most of my pain and I feel completely normal.
In order to start you only need be in mild to moderate WD so heck a few hours of feeling crappy is worth the relief you ought to feel.
As far as getting off the buprenorphine, I did with a simple but slow and I mean slow plan.
I cut the pills (2009 suboxone was in pill form) down half to quarter to eight's etc etc until I was taking mere "crumbs" then skipped a day here and then eventually I stopped. next day I went to Atlantic city with buddies and gambled, swam in the ocean and stayed overnight.
Yeah I had minor muscle twitching and felt a little weird for a few weeks but it was not bad at all!
I stayed off for a year but my pain forced me to find a doctor to prescribe bupe once again.
So since 2011 I have been on it and it works.
I went through a few major surgeries and only took the bupe for pain control.
I hope you at least give it a try.
