Opiates as an Anxiety Treatment

The fact that the opiates helped is no surprise. The problem is that it is an opiate and similar to using a hammer to kill an ant. Anxiety can be a lingering and constant battle and discomfort. The way to handle it is with therapy and possibly antianxiety medication as well. It is a more involved treatment, takes more time initially, but there will be no addiction and you will be a stronger, more resilient person as a result. Suboxone will probably help. If you have been taking the Loritabs for only a short time it would be better to detox from them at this point than to go the Suboxone route.
