I recognize this feeling

by ggin35, Jul 06, 2007 12:00AM
I am day 3 on Subutex and I feel almost exactly like I did when I once took XTC. XTC had a horrible effect on me and so does this. I feel clammy, paranoid, and completely out of it. I had to cancel another follow up with the addiction counceler because there is no way I can drive anywhere. Yesterday I felt like I was on speed. Today XTC. What's up with this drug? I'm giving it one more day to work and then that's it. Darn! I really wanted this to work! (((Hugs to all))) Ggin35

Hey GG, did you try a miniscule ammount???  When I went back on after 10 or so days off, (that's another story), I felt completely satisfied with less than 2 mgs... (I took the smallest quarter)  

How much are you taking???

by ggin35, Jul 06, 2007 12:00AM
To: 2 mgs today
I took 4mgs the first day, 3mgs yesterday, and 2 mgs today. I am going to stick with the 2mgs today and slowly wean myself off everyday until I'm finished. Does that sound like a good plan?

Yea it does cause there is a huge life to this drug... it lasts a long time in the body.  FLaddict can tell you more about that... I'll bet that you start feeling better right away anyway???  I hoping and praying for you.

I am so sorry this didn't work out for you... Go to 1mg tomorrow.. then 0.5mgs the 2 following days after that.. You should be fine to jump off then.. If you are going to have any withdrawl symptoms it will be 48 hours or so after or last dose but they should be minimal...
