Hello, I'm writing about the decision that was made to take my treatment away! I've been on Subutex for a little over a year now, well until a little over a month ago that is, when my doctor notified me that i would no longer receive my Subutex! I'll NEVER forget that day! I literally sat in the parking lot after my appointment for almost 2 hours crying! I felt like my life was over, because how can I continue to work and maintain a normal, productive life when I'm now SICK all the time again! I'm already sick of being SICK! I'm in fear of losing my job as I've already had to call in several days this past month due to being sick! And if i have to call into work, then my paycheck is short, hence me and my 2 teenage daughters will lose our home and everything! This bill being passed literally just took me back a million steps in recovery, because now I'm back on the streets as I've refused the suboxone treatment because i would rather be SICK than feel the side effects from Suboxone! I tried Suboxone first for awhile, but left that treatment because of how it made me feel like i was literally dying! It speeds my heart up, makes me feel like I'm struggling to breath, gives me horrible headaches, makes me sweat so bad i cannot cope as my clothes are soaked shortly after taking it, sweat literally dripping from my eyelids, made me intolerable to be around, says my kids as I'm so irritable on it, and last but certainly not least I am 38 years old, a little overweight, but still NEVER in my life, not even through 2 pregnancies have i ever had high blood pressure, but after only 30 to 45 minutes after taking Suboxone, my blood pressure shot up dramatically, and stayed up until i removed myself from that treatment! Raised it so much so, that the doctor wanted me to see another doctor about my blood pressure, which i could not afford! So, like i said I quit that treatment, and went back to the streets for a couple years, until i found my current doctor that wrote the prescription for Subutex! So after 10 plus years of being an addict, stealing, lying, in and out of jail, all the while my kids paying a huge price for my addiction, i FINALLY had a chance at LIFE again, my 2 teenage girls could even explain the 100 percent difference in me, in our life! After being put on Subutex, i immediately found employment, paid $7,000.00 in fines, got my license back, a car, a house, a LIFE again! All for this bill to be passed, and in such short time I'm already at risk of losing it ALL! I would ask for all involved to PLEASE reconsider what they've done in allowing this bill to be passed!!! MY LIFE AND FAMILY DEPEND ON IT!! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to express my feelings and my desperate need for this bill to be reversed!!
