Day two on suboxone - checking in

[kris123]

I started yesterday on suboxone - took 8mg altogether.  I woke up took one whole one like the dr said and then I will take 1/4 of a pill two hours later, then another 1/4, and then the two at night.  I am working my way up to 24mg that is what he wants me on.  Is it normal to feel sleepy a little.

Yes, i will be going to three meetings a week.  Dr told me that it is things in our lives that can cause us to go the drug route, meaning handling life.  For me I looked to drugs as help, and percocets took away my pain and worry - it never fixed the problem.  I must deal with the problem find people who love me and want to help.  you guys have been great.  sub helps and now i must go to the meetings

I am glad to hear you are doing better. Please dont forget to seek out other sources of support during your recovery, it will make a big difference for you and baby. Best of luck.
Luv, Jacky

So far everything is going well, and I am not craving.  This is the choice that I thought was best for me and my unborn child.  OB dr knows and has written a letter to the sub dr saying so.  I am a little sleepy but so much more happy.  I don't feel high, I am not thinking about pills, I just feel more normal,   I hope I just keep getting better.

yes but if you start nodding off then you might want to talk about reduseing your dose
