Many opiate dependent people successfully detox with suboxone, October 11, 2006

"Suboxone is less than 10 percent as addictive as methadone and less than 30 percent as addictive as heroin. It is available from private practitioners, and can legally be prescribed, for 30 days at a time. In contrast, many methadone patients suffer long daily commutes, to undesirable neighborhoods, to obtain highly addictive methadone maintenance. They are often treated very rudely and disrespectfully, at methadone clinics, where they wait in long lines, with career criminals. Methadone was a factor in the deaths of 2,992 people in 2003, up from 790 in 1999, according to an analysis of death certificates conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics. Less than five percent of methadone patients are able to taper or withdraw from methadone's "liquid handcuffs." Calsyn D, Malcy J and Saxon A. Slow tapering from methadone maintenance in a program encouraging indefinite maintenance J Subst Abuse Treat. 2006 Mar;30(2):159-163.

Wider use of Suboxone would reduce these alarming numbers. Physicians certified to administer buprenorphine have recently been allowed to treat 100 patients at a time, instead of 30. Buprenorphine and Suboxone treatment availability is rapidly expanding, while in some states, patients travel 3 hours each way to obtain methadone treatment. With competition from Suboxone certified physicians, methadone clinics hopefully will be forced to treat patients more considerately.

Suboxone is a readable and thorough discussion of how to use Suboxone to treat pain and opiate dependency. I agree with Dr. Schaller that slower Suboxone tapers are more effective than rapid tapers and decrease opiate relapse rates.

Suboxone explains that the adverse
buprenorphine/benzodiazepine reactions reported in France, only occurred when intravenous administration occurred. Suboxone contains detailed lists of possible Cytochrome P450 3A4 detoxification interactions with other medications. Patients and Practitioners will both find these useful.

The discussion distinguishing genetically transmitted anxiety from an unwillingness to cope with normally occurring anxiety is especially needed, in a society which assumes all benzodiazepine patients are "pillheads" or addicts. Dr. Schaller observes that genetically anxious patients can maintain the same therapeutic daily dose for years, while true addicts, continue increasing daily maintenance doses, after the first year. Schaller distinguishes addiction from dependency - something the general public needs to comprehend. Considering Dr. Schaller's impressive credentials and ability to detect neurotoxicity, nutritional and hormonal deficiencies and other less apparent anxiety causes, laymen and practitioners need to accept that some anxious patients will continue to require benzodiazepine medication, despite the most brilliant testing, diagnosis and treatment of other possible anxiety causes.
Read this book to learn how freedom from opiate dependency can be obtained. I agree with Dr. Schaller, that Suboxone is the best drug that almost no one has heard of.

Dr. Schaller has done it again!, May 9, 2006 By Cheryl Roberts, Ph.D. "Dr. Cheryl" (Lakewood, NY)

"Dr. Schaller has done it again!

I have known Dr. James Schaller for several years now; he is brilliant, compassionate, witty, highly evolved, and most informed. I am not even slightly surprised that he could write a book on such a compelling and prescient subject as addition to pain medication. My own family's personal struggles with drugs caused by inappropriate treatment to bipolar disorder and from misdiagnoses to horrendously advanced Lyme encouraged me to read Dr. Schaller's newest book. I was transported by its simple clarity, vision, and elegance. The man is a genius. Thank God, drug addition to pain meds is one problem I have not experienced, but I have many friends who cannot say the same thing. I am referring ten friends to this book tonight. I can tell anyone reading this review that my decades as an English professor and medical research writer have taught me a lot. I can spot an "empty" book in about ten minutes. Dr. Schaller's books are all "replete"; they are pithy, well-documented, and comporting. I cannot recommend it highly enough, and I will pass it along to my medical doctor friends. TONIGHT!

Suboxone-State of the art for consumers or therapists, May 7, 2006

"Having had access to the final drafts and being acknowledged for some technical assistance in finalizing the text, I have no hesitation in recommending this book to anybody interested in obtaining a concise guide to Suboxone. Suboxone (Buprenorphine + Naloxone) is THE major advance in the treatment of opiate/ pain medication dependence/addiction in the last 30 years, and this book is an excellent explanation of the what, why, when and how it should be used. This book is useful to anyone who is interested in using Suboxone as a consumer, or prescriber, or learning about the details of this drug's use. If you have a heroin, opiate or pain pill problem, or know someone who has, buy this book to get an informed and concise reference to the most promising treatment for opiate dependence, a highly disabling, dangerous, and potentially fatal illness. This book could save your life."
