I'm not feeling better yet.....2mg to start........15mins later just took second dose 2mg.....when am I gonna feel better?? Any help?
 
I was taking about 10 Norco a day. I don't remeraber the strength...they were yellow. Which, by the way, turned in to my fav color. LOL But in saying that, my turning point came my last week of pills. I took 120 in 10 days. I was also taking oxy and was w/drawing from those the week I took 120 in 10 days. All mine were prescribed by my pain mgt doc but I knew that I wasn't going to get a refill that quickly. I decided to stop in 1 day. Called a Sub doc and I was on my way...I'm so glad I made that choice. How are you doing?
 
I have a headache........uugh.....probably my body getting used to the adjustment...
 
Ok, just left doctors office.....feel better:) no cravings:) picking up prescription and follow up on Tuesday....
 
Hi there:)
Thanks for checking on me.......I'm not doing "fabulous".....but I'm not doing awful. I am craving that "jum" from a norco.....which sucks, because I was hoping the cravings would subside. I've been trying to keep busy....cleaning, laundry...etc. I might consider some "retail" therapy tomorrow....ill use the money I would have normally spent on pills for my reward. My next appointment is Tuesday, I'm not sure what will take place then......any ideas what that appointment might entail?
Thanks for all your support! Christine

Yay! I'm glad you found me! I couldn't send you anymore replies to you from your thread because I was reprimanded by the moderator for "hijacking" your thread......sorry about that.
So, yes I started my Sub this morning, first dose around 9:45.......second at about 10:15. When I left the doctors office I felt wonderful...by 1om I felt bad and had major cravings. My dic said to take another dose...so I did. I have a headache..sort of mild but all over my frontal lobe. I am still having cravings.......supposed to take a half dose around 6pm. It seems like it might tae awhile to feel normal again? Any advise?
Christine:)
 
Told you it would work. How many milligrams did you take today??? As I said, you must stabilize and then slowly wean down. Suboxone has a ceiling effect so taking more is not going to do you any good. The point of it is to ease the withdrawal symptoms. Once you are at the dose that works for you, maintain and then wean. Remeraber,it is not going to give you that opiate warmth so do not keep using suboxone thinking that it will give you a buzz. Just let it take away your dope sickness and cravings and start weaning down. You will be completely amazed what 1-2 mgs can do for you.
 
Going shopping always helps, right? It will be good for you to get out. I would imagine your second appointment will just to find out how you are doing and if your meRAB need to changed. That's all mine was at 2 weeks. The rest of the time I have just gone once a month. I'm on 1/2 pill every a.m. and 1/2 pill every p.m. and I do great with that. I'm thinking about getting off of them but not sure I'm strong enough yet. Have fun tomorrow and let me know how you are!
 
What are the mg of your suboxone? And its pill form? Mine are dissolvable strips that you place under your tongue.....the doctor said you get more in your blooRABtream with the strips cuz they dissolve better...I really don't know.....it feels weird to not have taken any norcos in 3 days now.....I know I can get through this:) especially with all the support from this website.....good luck with your treatment, too! Christine:).

Maybe because my addiction was for 2 years it worked quicker for me? I don't know. But by the time I got home from the doctor I was 100 percent. I'm sure you will start feeling better by the minute and by tomorrow you will be feeling on top of the world! I haven't had any cravings since my first dose. Of course you have to be sincere in wanting off the drugs...but I'm pretty sure you are at that point. Just hang in there and it will get better.

I actually don't know the milligrams he gave me this morning? It was one half.....then the other 15 minutes later. The prescription reaRAB "8mg/2mg film".....he told me to take one of the films at 1pm (which I did) and a half of one of the films tonight. I was not prescribed the pill form, rather the films for some reason? I wasn't expecting the "warm" feeling like an opiate does, but I was hoping for the "cravings" to stop, which they have subsided, but not gone completely.....:( I know its just the beginning....so I will give it some time, of course......
 
Mine are 8mg/2mg which comes out to 4mg/1mg every a.m. and p.m. They are pills. I think I would like the strip better. Mine is an orange pill that is sort of hard to dissolve...especially in the morning. How are you doing today?

During your addiction how many oills were you taking per day? And how many milligrams were they? I was up to 30 vicodin......and really whatever else I could get my hanRAB on.....oxt, norco.....codeine......etc.
 
Yes, you will definitely prefer the film strips as they dissolve so fast! I'm doing better, except I have a bladdder infection, which was just perfect timing:(.....oh, well......otherwise, I feel the suboxone has done wonders for my cravings and withdrawal symptoms:)
