I got my script at my "induction appointment" and, after filling the script at the pharmacy as directed, I parked for work and inducted in my car. (I had been assured that I would feel fine after inducting.) An hour or so later, my heart was racing. The anxiety was so bad that I was crawling out of my skin. I was sick. "Take the other half tablet," I was told when I called from work.
Although some of the symptoms with my first induction resembled a mild form of precipitated withdrawal (feeling as though my body temperature had risen to 200 degrees and being on the verge of sh!tt!ng my pants) some suggested that I may have been given too much. To this day, I don’t know which it was. So, I definitely agree that "do it yourself" inductions are not wise.
Besides, should it ever cost $400 to induct oneself in ones car? 
Now, about liver tests …
I’ve read the Suboxone patient information pamphlet and have wondered about this topic. But, I’ve had two Suboxone doctors and neither of them ever suggested that I should have a liver panel done. I have no history of liver problems. Perhaps, I don’t need to be checked or is liver testing something that I should wish that my doctor knew?
