every1 is diff sum may hav bad wd others wont 21 days is about when ur body gets addicted to sub
Brodie,
1 thing you need to remember that the Suboxine is so that you do not crave the others. In my opinion if you come off too fast you are going to end up back where you were and that will not be good.
My son and daughter are on this med as well, and I would much rather them to be on Sub then what they were on before.
Good Luck
Thanks Miranda. Good advice.hope u get off the codeine
Listen, coming from someone who was on Suboxone for about 5 months, the withdrawl from Suboxone is nothing compared to the withdrawl from codeine. I was on codeine continuously for years (still am) and that is the worst kind of feeling I have ever experienced. i was put on Suboxone, which helped with the withdrawl immensely. I was giving a prescription of 3 half of an 8mg suboxone tablet daily, but I rarely took that muchWhen I finally stopped the suboxone (which I tapered), I felt crummy and my stomach was upset for about 4 days, but then it was over. I can assure you that taking the suboxone and getting off the codeine is the way to go. Just keep a handle on it and keep your doctor in the loop.. Good luck.
im hooked on being hooked. that's the problem. I took a .5 xanex last night for RLS which worked great and i slept like a walrus. As soon as i woke up, i wanted another xanex so bad it was unreal. I just didnt want to take two films per day at 8mg. Hey can i cut the 8/2 mg film in half for tom morning? I want to really do 4mg for 4 doses, then 2 then .5, then boom, im done. Is this a fantasy or will i have to pay the piper with sever w/d at some point.
How long has it been since your last oxy? Listen, if you get hooked on subs, it will be worse than oxy wd. The only thing worse than sub wd in my opinion is methadone. You shouldn't feel sub withdrawl as long as you take it no longer than 3 weeks. You have the right mindset that it could be a big mistake. I was hooked on subs for two years. BIG MISTAKE Anyways, your doc. is gonna try keeping you on them. This will have to be your choice. There are alot of docs out there just feeding this stuff to people. I'd say get out while you can. Keep stepping out of your comfort zone and end this now. Don't let subs have a chance of getting ahold of you.
Oops! I'm sorry, must have read that wrong. I thought you said it was only for 1 week, not the first week. I do see your concern & I agree that I would not want to take it long term. But if you only use for a week or less for acute wd's then you will not we from that. Ask your Dr if this is an option.
I think the way your Psyche Dr has set you up with the subs is a good plan. (Well, as good as any sub plan can get.) If you only take it for 7 days then you should not have to worry about cross-addiction. This is just enough to get you over the acute physical withdrawals. It will not help with the depression or fatigue...but some good old fashioned exercise will! So go ahead & take that second dose as prescribed & get out for a little walk or something. Nothing strenuous, just get those endorphins pumping! You're doing a good thing here. Best of luck to you! Keep posting, this is a great place for support.
Thanks Jen, I'm watching x factor clips on youtube. Doesn't see
To release dopamine at all. Maybe ill try cheetah attacks. That should fill my opiod void.
Hi Brodie, well certainly came to the right place, i am sure someone will be along shorty to offer you some advise. All the best with your battle to overcome opiate hell.
