well today was the day i saw the sub doctor. And i start tomorrow. i took my last dose of morphine yesterday at about 7pm, the doc told me to wait until tomorrow to start the sub. I am feeling ok and its been 24 hours! does that mean that the opiates are so build up in my system or something?? (going from 60mg percocet and maybe 1 or 2 30mg morphine a day) i start the sub on my own, not even in the doc's office! is that weird? he told me to take 1/2 8mg every 8 hours. i am scared. how crappy is this that i have to wait Aand be in "significant" withdrawal in order to start the med....I hope that tomorrow will be enough time. almost 36 hours with no pain med?? my legs are killing me though! and he gave me hydroxyzine for my anxiety and to sleep. So hopefully i sleep tonite!! he it goes frienRAB. i hope this works!
:)
 
Well, the Subs should help that leg pain go away and help you sleep more I would think.

I can't believe you didn't have any major w/d effects after 36 hours. That is insane. When I was using that many percocet I would get w/d bad by the time I woke up in the morning and I probably took 4 5 mg percs the night before at like 10pm. Ugh... those were some bad days.

You hang in there honey! You can do this.
 
I would like to wish you the best of luck with ur recovery.
Stay focused andyou will do it. Ive been clean for 16months now and if i can do it you can do it!!!!!!

Damaged......... :)))))
 
ok so its 936 am and i still dont feel horribly bad. i am scared to start the sub. i def did not sleep last night and my legs were killing me... its been over 36 hours..should i start it??
 
I would suggest calling your Dr. and asking them what they think.

Maybe you won't suffer many withdrawals and won't even need the sub? Wouldn't that be a miracle?

Please let us know how this works out!
 
so this is just weird...I ended up taking the 4mg of sub at 10am...Had an absolute great day!!! Energy a little low but I couldnt believe it. SO now its 9pm, i took my 2nd 4mg dose at 6 and still feel good. Just "normal" nothing more, nothing less. Secrets- I thought of giving my doctor a call, but he is out of the office and only "on call" until monday. I mean, geez, I just went from 60 to 75mg of percocet a day to nothing for 36 hours then the sub. Last night i did not sleep well and my legs were killing me!! but nothing else.

What do you guys think?? should i be anticipating this to get bad or something?? I am just taking things a day at a time. Almost to my third day with no pain meRAB! needless to say, my back is hurting, but ibuprofen 800mg is what i have and thats it, i am just gonna deal with it. I decided that i am gonna wait until i am through this ordeal and then assess my pain. Is it as bad as i feel? was the meRAB making my body feel more pain?? i dont know.

well i will keep you updated on this one. thanks everyone!
 
Blaze,
WOW you are one tuff cookie sweetie! I was once nieve I didnt even know your body could become addicted to Vicodine's Isnt that funny? How stupid is that? One day I woke up and said, Why are you doing this? Your no longer in pain ( I had ACL surgery) So I went on line and that is where I found out I was gonna go through Hell... I was scared to death. SO I quite cold turkey, within 3 days I was so damn sick and i was scared to death. My sister called this doctor and spoke with her, she took me into see her , ( she was a SUB DR>) All I heard when I went in to see her was
Take this little pill and in 20 minutes you will be your old self... WOW thats wonderful!
I had no frickin idea what I had just gotten myself into.... 1 1/2 years latter I was still taking this little pill once aday.. My Sub dr. told me I would be on them for life!
WTF?????????
If I would have known I had only maybe another day day and half of the withdrawls left to go, I would have done it. But she just pushed the Subs on me...
I hate them and I hate her.
Once I learned the truth about the SUBS I started to tapper off
I was only taking 4 mgs a day, but still from what I have learned that dose is off the chart! OMG
So I jummped at about 2 mgs aday.....
My sub dr, wanted me to up my dosage, and when I did, boy did I get so so sick. I came down with bad side effects. That 's when I knew she was nuts!
and went back online and found out I had been sleeping with the devil!

Now I have been off SUBS now for 13 days and I'm feeling GOOD!
 
i dont have a choice either way..i have a 6 year old and a 3 year old that i need to take care of. i cant be sick bottom line. i am on day 5 of no pain meRAB and i started with 12mg of sub and i have already halved my night dose. some people stay on sub long term, that i dont get. but i know a lot of people who took sub with week one being stablizing dose then maintenance for 2 weeks then wean for a week or two. when i started hearing about sub, i would have never thought that people would stay on it long term. when you go inpatient for opiate addiction (acutely) you have max 5 days. they stabliiza you with sub then wean you off. i feel that being on sub long term seems to be replacing one for another.

whoever is able to go cold turkey, is very brave! and i give kudos for that. but like i said, i cant be sick with the little ones. i have a plan and i know i can do this and stick to it. if i keep feeling this good, i wont increase the sub at all, there will be no need to. i am generally a strong person, the percocets took me over the last few years but i am still that person, and i can be strong for my kiRAB. they dont deserve this at all...thanks frienRAB for all the input! hope all is well...major snowstorm here, stuck inside!!

talk to you all soon..
 
Hi Nomore

Hope today is a good day for you. Congratulations on making the choice to get off the precocet. We all go about getting off whatever drug we are using in our own ways. I think you have chosen the way that is right for you and I wish you much success. To me, the sub gives a person a chance to prepare themselves mentally and physically for totally withdrawing from opiates. We each have our individual considerations when it comes to our responsibilities in life.

You will know if and when it is time to withdraw from the sub. You will know. In the meantime, try to educate yourself as much as possible about the whole deal. Plan out the course of action for when you do withdraw.

Enjoy the holidays with your children. Smiles.

Its not easy either way u look at it. To w/d has to be a personal choice. I am far from tough lol. Actually I am a big softie. I feel like a part of my spirit is in every junkie trying to quit, cuz i was there...i feel your pain. I am 58 years old now and I no Ill never do H again, There was little help back in those days for Panic attacks. Today I live a drug free life and take Lexapro to control the panic attacks I have. I am the "last man standing" every 1 else i new back then is dead. I will always be here to help in any way i can those people that want out of addictions. I should be dead but for some reason unknown to me I made it through, so I feel i have to pay back "life" or God or whatever it is that directs my life.

Fate and Jeremy...I dont no you, but I love you and I am sending all my positive vibes over to you both. I am SOO proud of you both.
