Well started suboxone today and........

I feel good, I took my first 2mg dose at about 9:30am then took 2 more for a total of 6mg. I have not felt any real withdrawls from hydro yet. my mouth is a little dry and Im a little tired, just a little, but I have energy, which I thought I would definitly lose without hydro. I have been taking 25-30 10-325 hydros a day for the last 8 months or so and I cannot imagine what that does to your liver and kidneys. If it wernt for that I would not stop I like it to much. But who doesnt. Right? I also went to my first group meeting, its once a week until........ Thats the only way to get the script. He is talking about being on it for life or at least a long time but I know from reading this board that it can be weaned off of and I plan on doing so once I get the hang of this. But considering yesterday at this time I had taken NO pills, your supost to be in detox, and I was jonesing soooo bad and finally gave in a took some, today I have had no Hydro and I dont even feel like I want any. Its weird, I just hope and pray the rest of the day is this good, I have a massage scheduled for 4:00pm. So after that I will get kids ready for bed and school tomorrow and the rest of the day should fly by. I know Im only on day one of this but to all of you that are struggling with w/d, check into it, it really could save you. I think this is the answer for me. Stacey

Re: Well started suboxone today and........

Hi Stacey, glad to hear you are doing so well on Suboxone. I too have been on it since March and I know it saved my life. I only take 2-3 2mgs a day. I am glad to hear your Dr is making you go to meetings. I think that is great....

Things should continue to go well for you. There will be occasions where you will crave, but have a back up plan if you do crave. Maybe go shopping or something. However if you continue to crave then it may be time to increase your Sub.

Good luck and I hope it works as well for you as it has for myself.

Re: Well started suboxone today and........

i STARTED SUBOXONE 2 MONTHS AGO IT IS RIDICUOUSLY EXPENSIVE......I AM TAKING AROUND 12MGS DAILY USALLY 8 WHEN I WAKE UP AND THE OTHER 4MG DURING THE DAY..........I JUST RAN OUT OF SUBOXONE SO I HAVE TAKEN A FEW ULTRACETS TO HOLD OUT TIL TOMORROW........I HAVE A METHADONE 10MG JUST IN CASE THE CRAVINGS BECOME TO INTENSE. SUBOXONE IS A WONDER DRUG, BUT IT COMES AT A HIGH PRICE.

Re: Well started suboxone today and........

I was on Suboxone for a short time, and my insurance actually covered it, so it was not expensive thankfully. However, I did not do well on it. It was not the thing to help me with my addiction.
Hey, I want to say to the person above here...." Tussionexisgood". , I love your screen name. And I used to LOVE TUSSIONEX!!!
