MARCH 12 - Just a weird day (re: subox dose) - (title&journal edited on Mar.13)

Well, the streak of doing only 2.5-2.6mg of subox was broken today.  I did my regular 1.5mg dose at 12pm.  And I will probably do my regular 1mg dose at midnite.  But I had to take a 0.5mg piece at 6:30pm.  It's a bit hard to explain, but I was driving from Toronto to Hamilton (McMaster), and started feeling a bit anxious.  I wasn't tired at all, no yawning, etc (usually if MINOR w/d is setting in it starts with yawning... then my eyes tear up... then the anxiety).  This time it was all bass-ackwards!
Hence I'm thinking it may be smarter for me to have this anxiety thing actually looked at more closely.  I don't see a psychologist/psychiatrist, but I do have an addiction specialist, and he is very helpful with these issues.  I just don't want to be taking extra subox, knowing another option is to take the same amount of subox + an anti-anxiety pill.  I brought this issue up with my doctor a month ago, but I think I'm going to press him on it next visit.

I have to remember that subox is NOT for my anxiety, it's for my opiate w/d's.

(EDITED)
Talk about a freaky turn of events, instead of taking an EXTRA 0.5mg, I actually TOOK OUT 0.5mg from my daily dose!  I skipped the dose I normally take at midnite, so that means I only consumed 2mg yesterday.
I woke up today, took my regular subox dose a little earlier than normal (11am vs noon), and I'm back on my daily routine.
Now, I should mention that I'm sick (under the weather), so may be that played into the equation yesterday - but in all honesty, I would have guessed that being sick would've HINDERED the situation, vs letting me reduce.

Regardless, I'm very happy that an 'expected' higher-dose day actually became a lower-dose day in the end.
