day 20 suboxone

Well i guess since i have been doing ok with the 3 mgs for a few days now i am going to try 2 mgs today, 1 in the am and 1 in the afternoon.  I think i am suffering from PAWS and i think that is inevitable..  the withdrawal symptoms from the vics-the ones i remember the most-the fuzzy head and the tiredness-lethargy are not there, the depression and irritability are and i think i just have to deal with that separate now.  i've started back with amino acids, just one, l-glutamine and tomorrow i will start on another-tyrosine i guess, it seems like that one will help the most with the symptoms i am having, the irritability and the rollercoaster emotions, wanting to cry off and on with no apparant reason.  Anyone have any other ideas?

i started off at 6 mgs and went down to 4 real quick cuz i was having the side effect of extremely heavy eyes, and could NOT keep them open when sitting still and i have a job where i sit at a computer and on the phone all day...not a good combination. After 2  msi will go to 1 mg thn mayb .5--maybe not...i will wait and see.  I was very tired today, but i did make it, hoping tomorrow will be better, not worse-as i have to go back to work.  I'll keep adding amino acids, and i need to get my butt out there and get some exercise...

You are doing great.

Down to 2 mg, then what?  Hoe many mg did you start off at?

Hope it won't be too bad.  Keep the hope, because it is there!
