Hatmaker I understand what Benny is saying. I wasn’t really talking about him. I was trying to understand what the thread starter cire113 wrote. I’ll explain a little about my situation. I was taking two 8mg strips a day; 4mg morning 4mg lunch 4mg afternoon 4 mg night. My dose was also pain related (Thoracic Disc Problems.) I, on my own, started taking my dose 1 morning 8mg 1 evening 8mg because I would always miss a dose during the day. I never once started craving to take a dose. If I missed a dose I would have back pain but I would never feel different when I took a dose. Understand. That is why I don’t understand. Maybe I just took his post literally; the craving suboxone part to feel it. If he took it to do like you stated to subside actual WD, physical need for opiates, or to stop cravings for opiates; I get it.
I do get Benny and I am glad he got his dose worked out. I too had to increase my dose from 12 to 16 initially.

"the sub stays in my body i only really feel it for about 6-8 hours then i feel nothing and start craving another dose at about 12 hours"
So Hatmaker if I understand what you are saying is that he feels the need to take opiates so he needs another dose of SUB. to stop the cravings for opiates. That makes sense to me. I guess that is where I was misunderstanding. A good bit of people here say that they do not feel it and need more. So by saying that I guess it is the fact that they are craving opiates or feeling DTs and need to sub to stop that. I guess the craving another dose and feeling it part was what I was confused with. It all makes sense now.
Thanks for the insight
