the pill is a round white pill that has a C2 imprinted on it

I've been off of buprenorphine for going on a year now, and still, I don't feel quite like myself. It goes without saying, that I haven't relapsed (else I wouldn't be posting this question). I'm wondering if anyone has come across any information on possible long-term neurological effects of buprenorphine, even if it's speculative. Perhaps something similar to excessive heroine use over a long period of time? From what I've heard, a year of heroine use at a high enough dose, can take as many as 8 years for your brain to repair the damage. When I started the treatment, I was at the obscenely high dose of 32mg, I tappered over the course of about a whole year. I finally stopped taking it when I was taking about a single mg a day (which was still too high, and I knew it). Needless to say, I was an absolute wreck for about a month and a half, to two months. My brain seems to have a hard time recovering from opiate/opioid dependence (a weak ability to regulate my neurotransmitters, or just a weak mind? Who knows.), My WD symptoms are almost always neurological from start to finish (save the diahhrea) It may also be important to note, that during the middle of this treatment, I went off to college. When I hit close to the 6 month mark of the treatment, my motivation, and determination began to slip away in the form of a roller coaster (up, down, up, down) with an overall decline. The whole thing felt chemical, so I argue that my brain did NOT decided to throw ambition overboard of its own accord. I left college, and returned home. Physically I feel good, mentally I feel okay. (A) Did I do some real damage to my personality with this treatment? (B) Is there something funky about what bup and/or nalaxone in high doses can do to your brain over an extended period? ORRRRRRR of course option (C) is it psychosomatic? I welcome opinion (experienced and/or educated preferable) PS before the treatment, I was taking upwards of 230mg of methadone a day for about a month, before that, relatively light hydrocodone use

I am sixteen, pregnant, and in the hospital cause i cant detox due to being pregnant. They started me out on methadone 50 mg had me on that dose and sent me home and to a methadone maitenance clinic, who couldnt give me methadone cause I was underage. SOOO, they re admitted me to the hospital and swiched me to subutex AND I HATE IT headaches, drowsiness, nausea, AND I FEEL LIKE SHITTT!!! so I wanted the doctor to switch me back to methadone and wene me off of it in the hospital so I can go home drug free BUT THE DUMB ASS DOCTOR wont put me back on methadone and let me taper he only wants me to taper off of subutex. So i started refusing the subutex and I hope that since he sees im refusing to take it he will have no choice but to put me back on methadone and wene me off. Can he get in trouble for not giving me methadone? Is there any other doctor that specializes in ob/gyn pregnant drug addicts in the huntington WV area???

I blew my sciatic nerve due to a bulging disc in the lowest possible spot in my back...the pain has been severe for over a year now..i have been prescribed hydromorphone 4mg 3x a day along with soma 350mg 3 times a day..it usually works with pretty fast results...when it is that time of the month OMG! the pain is almost un-relievable! I sometimes take 4 to 5 times in a day on those days, because the inner swelling puts pressure on the nerve and i am in even more than usual pain from the dimple in my butt all the way down to my ankle sometimes--usually stops around my knee..but nothing else has worked at all..oxycontin, vicodin..no other pain meds touch this pain.

I'm 17, i'll be 18 in July. I've had a struggle with Heroin addiction, I have been but on a subutex script to get me off the heroin, i'd been on this for 3 weeks when they reduced my subutex dose, Even a couple of days before they reduced i felt i was struggling abit, and have been craving Heroin alot. I really don't want to use again and i feel ashamed that im even thinking about it, I can't let Heroin beat me. i don't want to talk to my mum about this as she will get angry at me again. I can't ring my drug worker untill tomorrow as obviously its the weekend. Im not sure what to do to stop me wanting heroin again, im finding it really hard...Im not sure what i or my drugs worker can do to make sure i don't use again, im trying really hard.. Any ideas? Just spoken to my boyfriend about this, his answer was "having it just once more wont hurt nothing will it" ... I could sit and cry I don't know what to do :(
