Hi again. I am doing well. It is day 3 on sub. This is almost 72 hours off of oxycontin. I would be in the middle of withdrawal hell right now without the suboxone. My doctor has me decreasing to 6mg (from 8mg for 3 days) tomorrow. The plan is to decrease every 4th day ie: 8, 6, 4, 2, then slow down to 1mg, .5, .125, then skip a day, 2 days 3 days 4 days and off.
Does this make sense? Do I sound like a big baby? I told him, after all the detoxes I have been through, for once I would like do this as pain free as possible. I have clonodine, trazedone and valium which I am saving to use when I get below the 2mg part. This seems to be the most difficult time, right??
I need to get with my psychiatrist and find some other therapies and NA. I hope this is a good plan. I have such hope that this time I will be able to be off narcotics….
