Hi Darling!
Welcome to the forum! I agree with Bboy, it sounds like maybe your just not taking a high enough dose.
Your prescribed 12mg/day, right? How much have you taken today, and how are you feeling RIGHT NOW?? Depending on those two things, I’d suggest possibly taking another dose.
And, I almost feel like tomorrow…..you should start off by taking at least 10mg, if not the entire 12mg (all at once).
It does take a few days-week for some people to adjust to this medication. But, you seem as though your still going through withdrawls.
Also, do you know how to take this medication correctly? Im only asking this, because some people talk while dosing, sleep with it in they’re mouth, don’t keep it in long enough, or eat/drink right after dosing. All of these things can effect your absorption. And if your NOT getting good absorption……you might be taking alot LESS medication than you think you are.
I would suggest contacting your doctor again, just to get his opinion about what you should do. He may need to increase your daily dosage….at least for now. Please continue to post and let us know how your doing. And whatever happens…..DO NOT GO BACK TO USING REGULAR OPIATES.
