I also have a Yahoo Group called 'Jenn's Phenomenal Women' if anyone is interested in joining. We can all help each other through such a hard time. :) Thanks in advance to everyone!!! I have started taking Suboxone on Feb 12th and have been drug free ever since, however, I have been having cravings and I am afraid I might relapse. Any advice from someone who is in my same situation? I also, have extreme anxiety, and I find it hard to control since my docs won't give me any anti- anxiety meds except Atarax (which is a fancy name for benadryl!)

Hi, good for you for taking the steps to becoming drug free. As you might already know, Suboxone is an opiate blocker, therefore, even if you did relapse, it would be for nothing as your brain will not feel it. Don;t you have a support group? You don't go to meetings? That is what you truly need. I have been sober for 4 years now but could not have done it without meetings. Meeting people who are going through the same cravings and struggles I was going through. Here is a link to Narcotics Anonmyous. You can find support in your area. Please, for the sake of making it, check these out. Opiates WILL kill you. portaltools.na.org/ portaltools/ MeetingLoc/
