This forum has been a God send. Romeo, laddertripper and sweet16 have been huge in my choice to try and stop once again, thank you tremendously for everything everyone has posted.
Ive been on Subs for just under a year after using H for a mere three months. Had no clue what I was getting into. I hated suboxone but no realize how helpful it can be if you use it and taper it correctly. Everyone of us, except for the pain patients, all put ourselves in this situation so the blame lies within all of us and unfortunately we all have a price to pay.
In october of 2011 I tried to quit cold turkey at 4mgs once a day. Since ive been on subs I havent been myself. Always depressed, never happy and lost the love that I had for life. I just wanted to be myself again. First three days were fine, by day 7 I literally went crazy. Took about a month for me to feel half way decent. This is when I decided to taper correctly. Here I am today, ive been able to comftorably taper to .125mgs. 4mgs was a road block, tried everything, wasnt till I smoked weed till I got past 4mgs. I hate weed but thats what worked for me and havent smoked since. .5 was also hsrd. I learned that dosing twice a day helps for small amounts. So if I were at .25 I would take .125 once in the morning andonce.at night. I have had trouble sleeping and depression/laziness but thats it. I just listened to my body and didnt force anything to fast.
So here I am at .125 and getting prepared both mentally and with meds. I have gotten .1 clonodine, vistaril, imodium, vitamins, amino acids and hope to get klonopin and ambien on the 17th when I see my sub doc. Come the 20th im jumping at hopefully .06mgs and flushing the rest down the toilet. so many inspirational stories on here and so glad I found this forum. Any advice would greatly be appreciated and ill try my best to keep this thread updated. Godspeed!
