suboxone

[here4info]

I am 3 months clean with suboxone. I find that I am really tired a lot does anyone else have this issue on suboxone?

[wait2long]

i bet just getting your dose down to 12-16 mgs daily, you will feel better and less tired...give that a try...

I doubt anyone here can help you with that. Try searching the internet. GL

  Does anyone know what state I can get a naltrexone shot. I live in Tennessee and cant find a listing of Doctors administer the shot. I cant find a Doctor in Tennessee but heard  Kentucky administers the shot.

Here,

If you decide to get off the sub, make sure that you taper down as low as you can before you jump off. Getting off at 24 mgs is going to throw you into withdrawal like you have never seen.

As always, I need to suggest that you set up aftercare. Your Sub doc should have had you doing that already. Especially for a legit pain patient. It is way to easy for you to go right back to the pain meds.

hoow long have you been on sub,and don't you think it will be harder to get off it than having gone cold turkey.Is it possible to take it short term to help with withdraws or will subox give you the same problem

[here4info]

I hope you are right

[allaboutmary]

You might be surprised that getting off pain pills can greatly reduce your pain.  This I know first hand.  I had awful pain in my hips and walked with a limp.  I thought I need to keep taking more and more pills. Wrong.  I was clean almost 2 months and barely limped and all I needed was some advil.  So if you could get clean you could better evaluate your pain.  I'm not sayin you won't have pain, but you might be amazed that it is less.

yes it is....I will be fine and then all of a sudden I just can barely keep my eyes open....I have a farm I dont have time to be so tired I think I am going to try and get off suboxone...I just worry cuz I still have a lot of pain issues and I dont want to be in pain who does...I dont know I feel like a pain pill cuz they dont make me tired at all...but the bad thing is is that they take over my life...

[allaboutmary]

LOL  yes we have our own little lingo for everything..   Fire in the hole means....I have dropped a cigarette while driving and the truck is on fire, again. lol  

[here4info]

ty I think I will.

Here....

24 mgs is quite a high dose to be on after three months. Is that the dose you started with?

[allaboutmary]

Could be your dose is too high. Have you told your sub doctor about this ?   I'm really way too new and confused to give advise on the sub. Still just figuring it out myself.  I have read a couple places that if your tired all the time you should lower your dose.  I would check with your doc though.    Mary

3 orange round pills in the morning on the bottle it is 8-2mg

Mary and Magi, I swear you guys could write a whole new chapter in the Suboxone handbook. Motion activated???? Where do you come u with this stuff??? LMAO

[flmagi]

I'm on Sub too and it seems to go in waves. And like Mary said, "when it hits, you go down".  I also feel like the Sub is motion activated. If I get up a move around, I'm fine. If I stop moveing (sitting in car or on computer) I suddenly get really tired.

[allaboutmary]

I'm not tired all the time, but when it hits me ...I go down..    How many mg's are you on ?
