Pls help. My doctor wants me to take suboxone for relief of chronic back pain. I am concerned about taking it after reading some of the threads which have been posted about trying to get off of it. One of the girls that was highly addicted to it named Stacy is no longer posting at all...does anyone know what happened to her? If I go on it, it will be longterm so I am concerned that I will be hooked for life...since some of the postings revealed it was hard to wein off of it after taking it only a few weeks to a month. I could try to put in a spinal cord stimulator or baclofen pump instead of going on a narcotic pain medication...but that has other scary side effects. I don't know what is the lessor of two evils and every doctor tells me something different and I don't know who to trust. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Lisa
