Can I Take Suboxone?!

[BrandiWineGirl]

Ok, Hello Everyone, Im 20yrs old....Brandis the name...I quit doing Heroine after smoking it for 3 years. I started with 8 suboxone cause i know the drill from being in rehab a week once...I took one on my first day, and for some reason i was brave and have only taken 2, and now im on day 17...let me tell you, I FEEL LIKE ****. Can i just randomly take my suboxone even though i havnt been!? And how much!?

I have been on sub for 9 months for pain control. You took sub for how long? 17 days what was your dose. If you dont have the funds to go to the Dr. and a friend of yours was nice enough to lay some subs on you. Which was dangerous in my opinion because you have to go through an induction process with the doctor to make sure you do not show any signs concerns and it is required by the Dr. that holds the DEA waiver allowing him to RX the medication. go to http:www.naabt.org . type it into your address bar.You will get professional advise and possibly assistance with the medication which you know is not cheap. About $7.00 for a 8/2mg pill. Good Luck------Noah

I dont have the money to go to the doctor and programs, thats why i got the medicine from a friend.......

I've been to rehab, and i've been threw programs so i know how it works, i just thought maybe someone would have advice, or knows what its like.

Usually people keep taking suboxone cause it makes them feel better but i was really brave this time and decided to just deal with the hell....and now i cant really. I definelty wont go back to drugs but....i have medicine in front of my face and dont know how much i should take starting this late........I can CALL a doctor i guess.

Like I said, if you were doing the program properly and under supervision, you would not feel "YUK". Your choice.........

Hello.

I do not recommend anyone randomly taking Suboxone. It is program and should be followed by a doctor, and administered by a doctor.

Since you have already been in treatment and relapsed, you are playing with fire hun. And, just as you did with the street drugs, you are still self-medicating.

Please...if you choose to go on the sub program, get to a doctor. No one here is going to be able to tell how much to take as everyone is different and those on the program are on different doses.
