I Need Help on What I Should Do for My Prescription(methadone vs Subutex/suboxone)?

Question by Michael: i need help on what i should do for my prescription(methadone vs subutex/suboxone)?
2 years ago i broke my l2 in a snowboarding accident. it was horrible! 7 days in the hospital, so much pain that i couldn’t sleep or do anything for months after. i wore a brace for 3 months and finally recovered and went to physical therapy. i’m 24 years old btw just wanted to throw that in there. anyways, i became dependent on pain pills. it started with 5mg oxycodone, then went to 10mg, then 30 mg oxycodone when i would have pain. eventually the pain became less, but i still had to take the oxy because i was dependent both physically and in a way mentally. about a year later i stopped off and on and eventualy was prescribed by my GP 10mg methadone for pain. i took this for about 4-5 months and he eventually told me he couldn’t give me anymore and i had to see a pain management specialist. i followed up and went to the pain management doc, and they suggested physical therapy. this is about a year later. i didn’t like the fact that i had to come in 2-3 times a week for exercises i could easily do at my home on my free time. i was also withdrawing from the methadone. i went to a psychiatrist who specializes in detox and he gave me suboxone. i would feel so crappy on the suboxone. i’ve tried subutex before and i remember it was a bit better. it made me feel better and allowed me to be more lively. anyways, i had a relapse for 1 month so i recently went back to my psyciatrist. he gave me 16 methadone pills. and i did a 4 day methadone detox. i used the methadone for 4 days and then on the 5th day nothing. i did use a little tiny bit of suboxone.
