opiate dependence
"I am extremely pleased with this medication.  I am a recovering addict who turned to methadone maintenance 6 years ago.  I unfortunately continued with methadone for almost 5 year and found it to be a hinderance.  It did save my life but all these medications should be for short term use.  I began my prescription of Subutex around 11 months ago.  I am very pleased.  After the first week the euphoria stopped after taking my dose.  This helped me get adjusted to feeling "normal".  My dose has been gradually decreased and I am almost off completely.  This is an addictive drug but if done correctly with your doctor you can detox with min. discomfort.  The biggest problem is price.  Without insurance....forget it.  $834 for 120 Subutex."
