My Dr. told me that I was taking way too much suboxone at 3 a day. now this Dr. isn't my original Dr.(who started me out at 1 and 1/2 a day then 2 then 2 and 1/2 and finally got me stable at 3 and i stayed on 3 a day for almost a year until he left and this new doc came) this new Dr. cut me back one whole pill after taking 3 a day for almost a year and said that if I take one drag of a cigarette from that day until he sees again in a month he will put me on 1 a day and start me on a taper dose. Now i was very bad on illegal street and prescription narcotics and i sold everything i had like guns, cars and stereos etc. ruined all of my relationships and hit rock bottom the Dr. that I had before who got me up to 3 a day saved my life. not only did he get me stable on the dose but stable in my life. I just got to where i was a little bit ahead and almost where i could really go after life and do some good with my life and now this new Dr. wants to cut me back 1 whole pill and put me at 2 a day(which has already been tried) and make me suffer for more than half of a day and probably fail because i have a very addictive attitude and i will almost certainly substitute the lack of that 1 missing pill with something else. can anybody give me advice on this please >;) ?
theres only two things you can do. find another dr, which will take time, or talk with that dr and explain how you are feeling..if he is iragant which alot of them are and dont understand. you could try to break your two doses down through out the day so you stay comfortable, dont take them both early in the day cause your nights will be awful atleast during the day you can try to keep yourself busy, but night time youll end up with severe leg cramps and end up not sleeping thats worse...... thier really not ment to stay on forever, but set down and think what made you start useing really if you start to work on that and break your doses down through out the day it might be ok for you i went straight from three a day to 4 to 2 mgs a day its hard but find a purpose and it helps really if you need to talk im here i know what your going through and it does suck but your not alone really ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** private e-mails not allowed **
