definately not a failure coming off any of this stuff. read the suboxone facts at the bottom of this page. sleep is a problem at first for all of us. I used benedryl for about 1 1/2 weeks 2 tabs of 25mg. I know that subs sometimes can keep people up, so try to take it early in the day. best of luck, others will come along and offer their own idea's. this site alone provided,and continues to provide all the info I needed to keep going.
dont know much about the patch, did it a couple times and i didnt use it like you are supposed to, i opened the patch and ate it, but only did it like 5 times, just remember being depresed really bad after words, i was so high on roxy 30"s cant really remember, do remember the sub just got off it about a month ago after a long taper, its a good tool if you use it right, get on a low dose you feel is good and start a tapering process! if you need someone to talk to mess me any time! hang in there it will get better! god bless!
I have been on the fentanyl patches since 2007. The dosage going up and down and I've been in a number of pain clinics that still kept me on the patch plus breakthrough meds of different kinds. The pain clinic that I was just started in has taken me off the patch cold turkey and it is hell. The pain and sweats and yawning and pins and needles. Isn't there something that can help?
