Thanks a bunch. I will as soon as I get home...
there are also those heat sticky things that you can wear.. find them at CVS or Walgreens..
I read your below post.. where did you do the detox that they used the shots?? they don't do that very many places.. I am about to do a similiar detox.. How did you feel?? When did you feel the drug wear off after detox?? what symptoms did you have after you were done with the treatment??
I live in Pa. But did the detox program in New Jersey. It was the Burenorphine Detox. It is also outpatient. I was literally in there for a half n hour. You get three needles of Burenorphine as well as meds to help u. You can't take the first shot until u are definitely in withdrawal, so 24-36 hours after last dose. My Dr. gave me clonodine (for sweats) and Baclofen (for restlessness). These help with the first 24-36 hours. You HAVE to wait that long cause if u dont and take the Burenorphine, you'll be in worst withdrawal. But as long as u wait, u'll feel great after your first shot. You will feel normal again, at least I did. Some people are not 100% after the first shot, but definitely after the second. So after the third day, you stop the shots and get more meds, Carbidopa (RLS), Valium (Sleep), Marinol (nausia) and something for cramps. These also help, but in my experience, keep u tired and weak. Ok, so then u go back to the dr.s on your 7th day clean and he gives u a pill to remove any opiates from your system and then administers a pellett...(a pellett put in arm that releases opiate blockers) lasts 3-6 months. I never went back to get my pellett. So I am still withdrawaling. Had I done it, I would be fine. But I dont want the pellett. I can give u a number and mabey they can direct u to a dr. near u. The whole process costs about $1,000.00 (including shots, pellett and meds). They take Ins. too...Any other help...let me know
I already have an appt tommorrow morning. they use the sublingal tablets. They told me to be clean for 12-16 hours.. (you have to wait longer with the shots) They taper you for 3 days. I will go all three days in the morning to have my dose adjusted and vitals checked. they also use other meds to ease symptoms. I am down to a low dose of hydro now so I think this will be good. I just wanted to get your experience with it..
I am sure that it varies with people..i was taking anywhere from 400-700 mg, off anf on for little over two years...I needed more time...Good luck with it all and I wish you the best..Let me know how it goes....
