Worried about suboxone

Question

Need advice! Today is day #3 without loratabs. My feelings are mixed because I started taking suboxone to get off of tabs and after a lot of reading I am wondering if I made a mistake by using suboxone and not going cold turkey!?? I don't want to get hooked on anything else but now I am very worried I might! I didn't realize you could get hooked on suboxone. It doesn't get you "high" but makes you feel great compared to the way you would feel without them. Worried !

Gnarly- the reason I'm not complaining is because I am taking suboxone. Without it I know I would be hurting. Just ***** bc I have gotten myself off of weed, x , meth, and coke! I just don't understand why is loratabs so hard to beat and forget about. All the other drugs I have had problems with doesn't compare to the problem I have with lts! I want this to just be over!

Jim- thanks for getting back with me! I was taking 20-30 a day. Most days it was 25 (loratab 10mg) I would take 5 as soon as I got up in the morning, 5 around lunch, 5 more around 3pm and so forth. This has been going on for 5/6 years. I started them when my husband now introduced them to me! Yeah big mistake!  Anyway today is day 4 wo any, proud of myself since I have NEVER skipped a day since I started. 
Like I said im worried ab suboxone after reading everyone thoughts on here, but honestly wo them I don't think I could do this. My doc only gave me 14 of them. Should I start taking a half today? And what should I expect? Right now it's 12:15 pm and I didn't take anything yet but I'm starting to feel like I should. My doctor didn't even set me up with a follow up visit! I asked him for one bc I don't think it's smart not to have one, what if I need more?  Thanks for your help and I appreciate any help I can get.

Did you choose a 21 day suboxone program? It seems to me that it is the best way to go if you are on them to kick another opiate. If not, then since you are only on your third day, it isn't too late to tailor your sub doses to one. How much tabs were you taking a day? and for how long?
