Rmad,
I am one of those who get really tired/sleepy while taking the Sub. Started at a high dose too of 24mgs and am now at 4. I was at 2mg’s but due to huge personal changes, ie: retirement, moving, buying a house, I decided I felt better at the 4mg’s. Plus now I need to see a new Sub doc here in my new city.
But the point of my message is that even on 2mgs, I still felt that crazy nodding off, sleepy feeling. Surely not as bad as the higher doses but still there. BTW, my Dr’s nurse keeps telling me that it’s something else, not the Sub. We all know better here from all the posts about it. Shows you just how much the professionals really know about Bup.
One suggestion I will make is to take your Sub only once per day. I had split it into two when it got down to the lower dosage, but reading others posts here changed my mind…for the better.
And I agree with everyone else about being on it long enough to recover. Dr. Junig suggests at least six months to a year minimum.
So Welcome here and I wish you a successful recovery.
