Hello, I've always been an opiophile, but it was never bad untill last winter. Before, I would take it a few VICS on the weekend for social reasons and would go weeks without even consider taking it again. Then last fall I had quite a bit of oral surgery done and was pescribed Vicodin ES and then at my stupid ass request Lortabs 10/500 for about 2 months, I would take them every day, not excessibly but about 3 Lortabs a day would do me good. Fast forwarRAB about 2 months my prescription runs out, I'm buying them off the streets, but now I'm up to 5 a day of 10/325 NORCO, then comes present time where I'm taking 6-10 Norcos a day but now I'm taking it just so I dont feel like complete garbage. I dont get high anymore off them, But since this is all I can afford, that is all I take. I have tried to quite nomerous times because this drug is making me into a sleeping vegitable, I cant wait up in the morning unless someone drags me out of bed, I'm lazy as heck, and worse of all I spend over 1/3 of my salary on drugs! That is by far the biggest motivation to get off besides the health benefits.

I since I realized my addiction 8 months ago I've tried to get off the drug numerous times but I cant get passed the 3rd day. I work full time and I con only detox when I'm given vacation time because of all the withdraw symptoms.

My question is, for taking 6-10 NORCO's per day, is suboxone right for me or is it meant for more advance additct, ie. oxy and heroin..?
 
hi blarabert, how is the sub working for you? would you say your on the right path to recovery or is it the same evil just different packaging?
 
The Sub is great. I have now tapered to the film..2mg/0.5mg...taking 1 in the morning and 1 at night. I don't think of it as the same evil in different packaging at all. I'm doing great on it and all of my tapering has been really easy. I plan on tapering to 1 film every day and then maybe 1/2 and then getting of in the next few months. I'm hoping maybe even before 2011. I've just been going with my instincts about tapering and so far so good. How are yo doing?
 
You would have to ask a doctor what is right for you, but I have taken it for all of the abouve that you have mentioned and it did just fine for me. I would definetly consider getting the SUB'S other then the NORCO's....stupid to spend allllllll that $$$$$ on that bs!!! And Im sure you can use the money on xmas right now instead :D Good luck to ya!!
