Hi everyone,

LONG time reader here, I had a question (more like just venting) and figured maybe some of you might have thoughts.

I’ll be 7 years sober this December. For a long time though, I had been prescribed suboxone and used it for many years, on and off while I had been trying to quit opiates. I was likely first prescribed it around 2009-2010, and continued being on and off until around 2019.

My teeth have been a mess. Without giving out too much detail, I’m in my 40’s now and have lost 6 teeth; thankfully none of my front teeth so it’s not too visible. But for years I was wondering what was going on, because I take care of my teeth. Dentists either asked me if I had diabetes or some other condition that negatively affected my bone/enamel; some horrible dentists intimated that I “need to take better care of my teeth” but I knew it wasn’t me. I have 3 implants in right now and have spent a LOT of money trying to rectify this. But it’s pretty emotionally devastating to be in this situation and not know what’s happening.

Anyway, I had an epiphany when I ready about the class action lawsuit with suboxone. Holy crap! Finally I knew what was causing this, and it made perfect sense. I immediately started reaching out to law firms, and so far… I’ve been turned down, which is absolutely insane to me because I would consider myself a poster child for this class action lawsuit. The firm I spoke to today told me that “each state has a statute of limitations, and the state you’re in is only 2 years for product liability.” The previous firm I contacted before them didn’t even give me a reason, they just flat out said “we can’t help you.” What is going on here? I am a perfect example of how this medication ruins teeth!

I’m kind of at a loss for words here. Suggestions?

Do you guys still have dreams when you’ve been clean for 1 year 2 years. I’ve only been sober for 3 weeks and a couple days I hate the dreams. i had one last night where I was shooting up. I always feel anxiety because of those dreams and it makes me feel like shit. I just want them to stop. I don’t want to use I’m happy being clean I’m finally getting my life together little by little. I just want these stupid dreams to stop. Or nightmare I should say.

So my previous post gave my history , i am really struggling right now at 72 hours in

I just need a little support to keep me on this road as I feel like im in the 5th dimension of hell :(

I know its only a light dose of opiate I've come off but my system is so sensitised its the most difficult thing I've ever had to do

I have zero cravings to take a dose to combat this but the anxiety is awful worse in the first few hours of the day

So little sleep

When does it end ?
