I’d love to hear back on how your first meeting went. I lucked out and 4 young ladies sat with me the first night, they noticed how nervous I was and they started talking to me, before you know it, we were all laughing and having a good time. They helped guide me through my first meeting and made it fun. Anyway, it would be great to hear how your first meeting goes.
I’m glad your sleeplessness has improved, it usually does take many of us a few days to stabilize on Suboxone.
I’m curious, does your doctor have you dosing three times per day on Suboxone??
I’m gonna give you some of my thoughts, you most certainly don’t have to abide by them, just my thoughts for you, OK? At some point, because of your fear of wd from Suboxone and because this is now generally accepted as a best practice, I’m gonna encourage you to get to once per day dosing…..please discuss with your doctor first though. Next, as you get "used to" your Suboxone, try decreasing to the lowest possible dose that conquers your cravings. It’s my opinion that the lower you get now, the easier a time you’ll have coming off of Suboxone. Make sure you protect yourself and stay on a high enough dose of Suboxone to keep those cravings firmly at bay though!! You don’t have to do any of this in the next week or even two weeks for that matter, whenever you think you’re ready, give it a shot. Oh Yeah, if and when you’re able to drop your dose, build up some "back stock" of Suboxone for emergencies.
I hope you don’t feel like I’m rushing you to get off of Suboxone, that is NOT my intention. Suboxone gives us time to "get our shit straight". For some of us, that’s a long time, for others, it’s not that long……you’re length of stay on Suboxone should be up to you and your doctor.
Lastly, which really I should have put this first, but I wanted you to remember this real good, so I put it last (I explain myself too much sometimes, eh?? LOL!!). HOLY SHIT BUD, YOU TURNED DOWN SOME OXY’S!!!! OMGosh, you ROCK!!! I am WAY proud of you!!!!
