[downandout1003]

Hey yall,
it is now day four with no methadone as i posted before i took subutex after 50 hours with no methadone and it sent me into the worst withdrawls i have ever experianced , i got up this morning and took 4mg Subutex and after 4 hours I still have no relief if anything the subutex are still making it worse. I am at my wits end . Please somebody tell me where to go from here.

I tried calling the er last night, they didnt have anybody on call for my doc and they also said that lots of his patients have called with my same problem.  good idea about calling the doc office and telling them they better get in touch with the doc and tell him to call me,  but ya know  at this point im not sure he has any da** sense at all

Does he not have an on call doctor ? I would call the er . Tell them whats going on .You know the more I think about it I think about it  I would call the doctor back and tell them if they dont contect your doctor that you are going to report him to the ama see how that works

After you are stabalized and feeling better I would reccomend finding a new sub doctor.  He didn't give you very good instructions on how to start your meds.  Most give you your first dose in their office.  And its Monday and hes out till Friday?  Didn't let his patients know?  Some sub doctors aren't in it for just the money, but sadly it sounds like this one is.

I am concerned about how bad you are feeling.  Has it been 72 hours since your last dose of methedone?  Maybe a trip to the ER would help.

i just called my sub doctor and he is out of the office untill friday, his nurses and office staff acted like i was crazy.  I feel so helpless.

Wow I really feel for you.  I don't understand methadone, I have read about how it stays in your system a long time but 72 hours sounded like the magic number for starting sub.  I would think you should start feeling better soon.

Have you tried to call your doctor and let him/her know what has happened?  They may have more insite as to how long you can expect the precipitated withdrdawal to last or anything you can do to help it.  They may be able to call you in something to ease some of the symptoms.

I really hope you feel better very soon.
