suboxone study

[TJack]

Just wanted to post since I am back home now.  Have been gone for over a week.   I am on day 15 of suboxone 8mg.  Tomorrow i start my taper.  I will be on 6mg. for 6 days and then 4 mg. for 4 days and then 2mg for 2 days.  The two drs. in town tell me they have had great success with suboxone taper like this.  In the beginning I felt some nausea, but am thankful it didn't last long and after a few days I wasn't bothered with it at all.  That was it as far as side effects from the drug for me.  I have felt so normal.  No highs or lows.  Just good.  I want to thank Fladdict and all of you who encouraged me and for being so helpful.  I also want to wish all of you the best and if you are thinking of using suboxone to get off Hydro codones, don't wait, get in to the dr. as soon as you can.  It has been GOD send for me.  I also receive couseling every week with this study and am getting alot out of it.  It will be very helpful in the future too.  Good luck to you all.

The only bad part, i must say is I had to be in withdrawals before my first dose of the Sub.  Otherwise, it has been great so far.  I definitely will keep posting on how my taper goes.  Today is 6mg.  I have already taken 3mg.  Will take the other 3 this evening.  I wish you the best with your dr. appt.  Please post and keep us updated at well.  Thanks for the good thoughts.   TJack

It is so nice to hear all the positve you got from the Sub. I too, am meeting with a Sub doctor tomorrow as a matter of fact. I am not sure if he will actually put me on it or what he will choose to do, he told me when i get there that he wanted to go over some options and one of them being the Sub. So hearing all the wonderful success stories from the ones here who have used this, really helps me to understand it so much better. I am happy to hear how well it is working for you, and hope that if this is what he chooses to have me on then it will work just as well on me.

Thank you for that post, it just gave me some more advice that i was looking for!

Keep posting on how it is working for you, who knows maybe tomorrow i will be starting right along with you.

Thanks,
Hope

Congratulations! I remember when you began. You did your homework and you listened to others that have gone before you. I applaud you and wish you success. It can be done.

Please keep posting and let us know how the taper is going. It is most helpful to others who are considering it.

God Bless and Hugs.............
