The purpose of using Kratom, is to get off of Opioids, Suboxone is in the same class, as Opioids!!

I tried Suboxone, you name it I think my doctors and tried it. It does stop pain, but it's addictive just like opiates. They actually will use it to get you off opiates. They trade one for the other and then taper down the Suboxone. Then the doctor wanted me to stay on Suboxone forever to deal with the pain. The problem is, one form of it (I think it's Suboxone) as a blocker in it, or it adheres more strongly to your pain receptors. If you were to be taking it for pain and you had a car accident or needed the surgery, normal pain medication would be ineffective. I didn't want to leave myself in that vulnerable position.

I did. It was excruciating to get off the opioids over a two day inpatient stay and then try using Suboxone to manage the pain. It was useless. The only good thing is it reset my opiate use so I could start with a lower dose for effective pain relief.
