I have had addisons disease for over 20 years and hypothyroidism. I also have a pain pill addiction. My dr has told me they do not think i will ever get off the suboxen because my body cant handle it, but i am thinking that i may be able to increase my doses for a little bit to help with the withdraws and finally get totally clean. I have so many other undiagnosed issues and got hooked on prescription pain pills. Before i got help and got onto the suboxen i would have withdraws and i noticed that increasing my cortisone would help some. I have pain and swelling and at one time thought to have ms, mixed connective tissue disease, and symptoms of so much else but all the test are always negative.
