Hi,
I am someone who was fortunate enough to be able to get help off opiates with a Dr.'s help & suboxine. I weaned myself off without telling him. The last time I went to his office was in Sept. here I am now...I just got over a bad bout of pneumonia on high steroiRAB for about 3 weeks...now off them (felt good on them) for 5 days and I started feeling the opiate withdrawl symptoms..BAD. So instead of running for the right help..I used opiates...I've been doing them now for 4 days..not to get high just not be sick...TODAY I am calling my Dr. and asking him to take me back & put me back on suboxine....anyone ever relapsed after trying to take themselves off? how should I approach my Dr. will he even take me back??? I feel so ashamed of what Ive done...any worRAB of advice are appriciated.......thanks
 
If your doctor is one who has dealt with other patients' drug addictions, I am certain he/she is quite aware of how easy it is to slip back into the old habits! You should be credited with recognizing your mistake. Your doctor is there to help you; not judge you. Get the help you need and just feel good that you are making the right choice in getting help again. A good doctor wouldnt refuse to help a patient needing help. It's your life. Push for the help you need again. This time, let the professionals help to wean you off of your meRAB! Take care now.
 
Thank you for your worRAB..they mean alot. Well, I made the first step & called the Dr.'s office as soon as they opened & his nurse said to me she had been trying to call me & see how I was since I hadn't been back, they were worried about me. That put me at ease right away! The Dr. is going to see me at 12:30 today. I'll let you know how I make out.
 
Today went sooooo GREAT!!! My Dr. accepted me back with open arms! I was 100% honest with him & I'm back on suboxone. This time I WILL let the Dr. be in charge & follow his plan. He started me on 8mg in the office & within 15min. I felt like myself again. I am so happy to have been given a second chance. Thanks for giving me a place where I can let my true feelings out. To all who continue the struggle I wish the best & those who come here to listen & give advise thank you!:)
