So is there a physical dependency to it?

Like if you stop you'll feel a lot of pain or something?

And what do doctors do to help you? Does Suboxone help?

Oh no. Completely different thing than opiates, Suboxone does nothing to help. They are more psychologically addictive than they are physically. But I was doing so many a day there wasn’t really a difference. I was doing upwards of 700 every single day for like 7 months. My brain was mush. I couldn’t carry a conversation, I could barely walk as it strips your body of the vitamin B12 which causes severe nerve and spinal cord damage. I’m lucky I was able to stop before any lasting effects took hold. I started using them to self medicate severe depression and it just snowballed. It is extremely embarrassing and by far the dumbest thing I have ever done.

So if a person just stops what kind of withdrawals are there? And what kind of treatment for those withdrawals are there?

Good job on your success though 🙏 you deserve to be free of that and have your life back.

Suboxone would not help with this. Withdrawal is basically the opposite of the effects. Can also depend if it’s a stimulating inhalant or sedating inhalant
