SUBOXONE ABUSE by BF


Posted: Jul 4, 2010

It seems I always find the men that either had a drug past or currently has one.... so this is one of those things.  My BF is a polysomnographer and had to take his certification/registration test this past week.  He took this before and failed, apparently this test is the hardest out there (maybe like the CMT LOL!!!)  Anyways, he had always taken these pills called Suboxone and I have transcribed this, but never looked into what it was.  These pills are about $60 for 2 of them!  He started taking them months ago, way before I knew him.  As far as I know they don't really alter him in anyway.  The pills just make him stay up and more alert.  These pills, however, are used for people coming off of heroin, among other things! 

 

So I said all that to say this... We moved in together on the 22nd of June and we haven't lived together long at all.  He PASSED his test on Thursday and he told me he would stop taking them or at least not so much since he wanted to start putting back money.  This morning I woke up and he wasn't there.  I called and he said that he was at the store and about to be back home.  He said he told my kids to tell me if I woke up.  I didn't think much of it until he was in the shower and his phone rang.  I looked to see who it was but I was too late.  I just so happened to be NOSEY and clicked onto his text messages.  I saw there a few that talked about getting the pills.... "Can I get 2 more?"  "I am really in a hurry and got to get back." 

 

So I knew right away that he just bought some.  Later he told me he was broke and might need to borrow $10 at the end of the week because he gets paid on Friday.  He never mentioned the pills at all.  So he doesn't want me to know he bought them.  I can't even say anything because I told him I wouldn't go into his phone anymore.  Has anyone had experience with this drug?  Should I really be worried about this or just let him do his thing?  I mean he pays all his bills on time and he usually does have extra money around.  Thanks guys!

Suboxone:

thanks you guys!!! - :)

Its like I finally find a guy that I have been waiting for that has a good job and actually has dreams.... JUST to find this out! So I actually talked with him about it and it seems he is going to cut it out and maybe talk to someone. So we will see. I know what he looks like when he is on it so this won\'t be so hard to figure out now. If he slips up I am totally out of here. I will not put my children or myself through this crap! THANKS ALL OF YOU!!!

Are you the one who - posted before

about BF\'s best friend being a woman? Don\'t know much about that drug, but if you google it, it\'s being abused. Sneaking around for any reason would be a big red flag to me. Sorry, for your trouble, but sounds like you\'ve got kids there? and I would want to get to the bottom of it pronto.

suboxone is a semisynthetic opioid - -- a narcotic

Dude has some explaining to do. He is either using this to overcome opioid addiction, or using it recreationally. It is dangerous to come off this drug abruptly, and it is HIGHLY ILLEGAL to be obtaining this drug without prescription.

I would cut and run, sweetie. This is BS.

this is a strong, very expensive narcotic. - sm

Is he taking this to wean off an even worse addiction?

He is addicted and lies to you, man!

Don't make weak excuses!

Drop him before it gets worse!

all aside, I certainly would not like - what?

[ In Reply To ..]
to take a polysomnograph supervised by him!

Since you have been there/done that, you know - this cannot end well

If he is already breaking promises and sneaking to get them, you know it's just going to go downhill. You know that you're going to have to go, but I also know that you won't do it until you're ready.

Since you seem to have a pattern of "attracting" this type person, please, please go to NARANON or ALANON pronto. Try to find out what is going on w/you. Trust me, I know of where I speak!! Please e.mail me if you would like. I'll be glad to listen, help, whatever. Will keep you in my prayers.

Unfortunately, do know about this one - sm

Might want to see how he is taking them. It is common for people who are using them recreationally to snort them. It is suppose to give more of a high that way, I think. So, if he is buying 2 pills, he may be breaking them into many pieces and crushing making them last much longer. Believe me, if he is addicted to them, you will know when he finally does quit. It is not pretty. BTW, it is not easy to tell when they are using this. I was totally in the dark until the withdrawal started. Then, they had to tell because the withdrawal was so bad.

Verbal Abuse...Feb 11, 2010
It's me again.  I had posted this past weekend about my hubbie that didn't ask me to go to superbowl party.  Well I got over that pretty quick.  I have gotten brave enough to ask if any of you live with someone who dishes out verbal abuse to you?  I was in denial for a while, but I believe I need to accept the fact that my husband is a verbal abuser.  He says such mean things and screams.  I was feeding the dogs and let some out of the pen and he said God ...

You all seem to have such good advice and I need opinions.  I am separated from my husband because he is a verbal abuser and I finally realized that I don't deserve to be treated this way.  Well, he has tried to change a lot and in a lot of ways he is better but he does have his moments.  I don't think I can get past the past abuse to trust the"new and improved" person.  He says "shame on me" that I don't believe that people can change.  I believe peo ...

Abuse Of PitbullDec 14, 2015

Unemployed Men Are More Likely To Abuse Their WivesFeb 23, 2010
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pushed for a $15 billion jobs bill Monday by suggesting that unemployed men are more likely to abuse their wives. “Men when they're out of work tend to become abusive,” Reid said as he argued in favor of a cloture vote on the jobs bill. “I met with some people while I was home dealing with domestic abuse. It has gotten out of hand. Why? Men don't have jobs. Women don't have jobs either, but women aren’t abusive, most of the ...

Children Of Domestic Abuse Dec 18, 2012
I am extremely close with some little girls, ages 8 and 10 and their family also. I could not love these children more. Long story short, they moved away out of state and in the last few days their father was arrested for domestic abuse against the mother. He drew the children into the fight, called the mother bad names in front of the children and even told the 10 year old girl if she stayed around her mother then she would be the same and even said the b… word to the child. The mother tonigh ...

these kids should be having a wonderful time this season, getting ready for Santa Claus and baking cookies with their mom and dad, decorating the tree and being read stories before bed.

Soviet Style Abuse Of Psychiatry Is Now Practices In The U.S.Feb 23, 2017
enamored with many Soviet ideas in their time, trying to transplant them to the U.S. — from government diktat and central planning to academic indoctrination and propaganda through entertainment. And while the Soviet Union has gone the way of the dodo, its glorious socialist legacy is still up for the picking. One of these unparalleled Soviet achievements is the use of psychiatry to silence dissent and delegitimize political opposition, allowing the KGB to lock up dissidents in mental hospi ...

I am a lover of Main Stream Media. The more I see of some of the weirdness outside the mainstream news sources, the more thankful I am that we have a good source of news that we can depend upon. Is anyone else sick and tired of hearing the term, "Main Stream Media" as if it were a bad thing, and then to make it worse, Sarah Palin's ignorant use of it as the cutsey term, "Lame Stream Media"? Pesonally, I am perfectly capable of viewing any media, whether it be on the regular networks or ca ...

Marco Rubio's Abuse Of Taxpayer Money Gets Worse By The DayNov 04, 2015
I had heard about his misuse of taxpayer money for a long time, but I thought it was minor issues.
