day 8 suboxone

boy have i been sleeping good!  going to take only 6 mgs today, hopefully can taper off quickly now.  Yesterday my dr. told me to take the sub when i start feeling bad, not necessarily take it right away in the morning.  So i'll see how this works, sure do want this nausea to go away, and the heavy eyes..

Girl...will be good when u can get off of the sub...i am thinking it just has not agreed with u very well...seems like doctors dont really know much about prescribing this drug or maybe some just have trouble adjusting to it...u have done well and u r tapering off fast like u planned...good for u

I still feel nauseous today, and i still get the heavy eyes, maybe it will take a day to catch up with me on the lower dose?  I do feel rather cloudy headed, like i did in withdrawl, but i keep telling myself this sure is a lot better than total withdrawl!  I couldn't even move then.

Glad to hear you slept good toomanytimes.  Lack of sleep is the worst and I have to say that I have slept pretty good every night too.

Day 10 for me and I took 3mg this morning and will take the other 2mg around 1pm or just sometime before 3.  My left leg or my calve(sp?) started hurting just a little last night and some this morning but nothing I can't handle at all.  That made me realize again that it is best, even for short term to taper down slowly.  I have to keep reminding myself that I am only 10 days out from taking 8-10 lortabs a day and taking my time must be important.

Hope you have a good day at work..take care!   Lyn
