Hey. How are you today? I answered your post below about using Subutex. I just wanted to give you an update. I woke up at 6am, and after having taken 8 mg yesterday, I just took my first does of 2mg at 11:45am and I really don't think I should have but I have along car ride ahead of me this afternoon and I don't want to do it in front of those I'm in the car with, so ther eit is.
I am going to hold out for as long as I possibly can without taking another dose but if I do it will only be a 2mg slice. If I can stay at 4 mg for a few days I think I can go down to 2 for a few and then jump off with possibly ony 1 or 2 days of mild discomfort. My dr, who wants me to stay on it for at least 3 months to get my head "straight" said he would help me with any valium or clonidine if I needed it when I finally jumped off but Fladdict said hers lasted a day and she has chills nd sweats... i think I can handle that.... She wa son it for 10 days. I wold like to be off by then.
It does continue to be a mental struggle with me, the whole taking something ritual, but I am continuing to fight that......
Post back and let us know how yo're doing!!
