Hello all. I am a newbie here. I am a long time addict. I started somoking pot when I was 13 and I went to hell and back until I was 25 drugs of choice were meth and cocaine. Love the energy. I met my husband and stopped all with no problem. I was sober for 3 yrs. Then I had a back problem. My lovely doctor started me on vicodin. I thought I could handle that because of stopping so well on the others. Boy was I wrong. So 7 yrs later here I am. at my worst I was taking 15-20 vic 10's a day. I could get my doc. to give me percs and oxy's if I wanted them. Latley I just want to feel normal and enjoy life. Tired of the high's and lows. So I started the soboxone treatment. Although it is expensive it is well worth it. I am on day 3 and feel soo much better. My question is this.. I am prescribed 16 mg daily. I gave only been taking 8 and feel fine. should I take the 16 as ordered? Did he prescribe too much? I did taper down a bit before going on the soboxone. Could that be why? Thanks to all for being so honest admitting that there is an addiction it is so hard to say to other people. This board will be good for my healing. thanks again. sorry so long.
