End of Day 1 on Subutex

Question

Hi all.  Well, I'm rounding out Day 1 on Subutex.  Man, those little suckers taste like ****.... 
I'm feeling very good!  No reaction to it at all.
I have taken 12 mg so far though.  I could have stayed with 8 but I was a bit umcomfortable.
Anyway, I'll keep you all posted.
By the way, it's making me extremely tired.....

If you are not feeling WD symptoms then your dose is NOT too low.... i too felt strange on them.. kinda cloudy in the head.. buzzed in a weird way i couldn't explain.. it may just be reacting strangely with you... it could also be some Wd from the Ultram.. since it stimulates your serotonin, your serotonin may be depleting after being simulated..

I am on 2mgs today instead of four. Still feeling strange. I think I will go down to 1mg tommorow. The doc wants to keep me on 4mgs though. I don't get why. Mom2, do you think it's better at higher doses? The doc says I feel strange because my dose is too low. I like him but I'm at a point now where I just don't trust doctors. I only trust you guys really!

Thanks guys... 
GG - I sort of fuzzy, oddly stoned almost.  In fact when I was taking it at the doctor's office I asked him if I ws supposed to feel that way. Whatever this stuff is, it's strong.  Are they going to be switching you to Suboxone or is that what you;re on?
Tired is welcome but I'm not really able to sleep it off at all......
I'm only going to do half tomorrow morning and then half at night tomorrow and see if I can handle that.

Steph , I actually registered on that site yestrday before I read your email.  WhHat was your tapareinge schedule on this and were you on Sbutex or Suboxone?

I mgith be singing off in a few so if I don't come back, good night
