Does suboxone cause impairment of driving a vehicle?

Answer 1

I have just started Suboxone a week ago I started on 4mg and went up to 8mg yesterday and myself personally have found it does NOT impair my ability to drive and I am a truck driver. I'm on this medication because of an accident at work and I began taking percs and than moved up to oxys now there trying to fire me over it what a bunch of jerk offs but any ways suboxone may effect your body differently than mine. For drug tests you should have all the info ready for them the drug your doc's name perscription to prove it is prescribed pretty much just prove you are taking it legitamately and you should receive a negative drug. this is a life changing drug I'm drug free and my pain level has come down to a manageable level for every day life but I have an extremely physical job so that's a different story. I hope this has helped and if you are thinking about starting suboxone don't wait it will change your life I guarantee it.

Suboxone is basically used to alleviate withdrawals from opiates, I.E. percocet, heroin. It has never got me high or impaired, no matter what quantity I ingested. And I know, because I actually tested it and swallowed 10 - 2mg pills, to see what would happen. Absolutely nothing. Yet, unfortunately when I got down to 1 - 2mg pill per day, and then stopped taking them all together, a day later I still had horrible withdrawals. BEWARE...Suboxone is more addictive than Percocet, and it does not even get you high. It now comes in an 8 mg "breath mint type" strip. I have cut that strip into 16 smaller strips , to ease off gradually. So basically each piece was only 1/2 mg. I thought after that last 1/2 mg strip, my usage would be over. NO WAY. I went one day without any, and the next day I was doubled over with a painfull stomach that was just as horrible as any withdrawal I had. It did not subside until I obtained another strip (on the streets), and put a 1/2 mg back into my system. Way hard to get off of. I fear I may have to endure a full cold turkey withdrawal before I am finally clean.
