I can only give opinions but it’s probably just because you and I were on a lower dose. The ceiling is supposed to 4mgs. Anymore after that and the body stacks it up. That is why with someone on 8mg of Sub doesn’t experience w/d’s for several days. The lower you go under 4mgs there isn’t a stacking effect anymore so the drug wears off faster. 1mg is really a low dose even though we both know it still feels strong.
And no, I had no w/d going from Sub to Hydro or back to Sub from Hydro. You can mix the two you know? Read Dr. J’s article on pain management on Sub. He recommends low dose Sub with full agonists. I don’t quite agree with that but he is a Dr., not me.
Did I answer all your questions?
FYI, I am out of Sub and have no pain meds. Am I freaking out? No, because I was taking 6mgs and know it’s stacked up inside. What happened was most all of CVS pharmacies don’t have any Lortab 10/500. They suggested calling my Dr. and having it changed to 10/325. Noooooo, I will not call him. I’ll start calling other RX’s until I find one that has it. If it takes a day, it takes a day. If I have to go back in to my Sub Dr., I will. No big deal.
