I started subs about 3 weeks ago for an addiction to painkillers (mostly percs & vicodin). I started taking the painkillers a couple years ago after a back injury. I'm sure anyone can guess what happened (hmmm...needed more and more). Anyways, even tho I was getting legitimate prescriptions from my doctor it was never enough, the money I needed to spend to pick up the slack caused major problems with my husband which is why I went in to start suboxone treatment. The problem is I still have a bad back. Most days (surprisingly) the pain is bearable...but some days (like today) the pain is kicking my ass. The otc pain relievers do very little. I currently take 24mg of the sub (8mg/3xday)...I'd like to take a perc tomorrow...I need at least one day every so often to get a break from the pain. Sometimes the pain makes me feel like I'm going mad. Does anyone know when a safe time would be to take a perc if I took an 8mg pill at 3pm???

Hi honey! I am your gal! I was addicted to Oxycontine and Oxycodone! Upto 300 per month of Oxycontine and about 120 of Oxycodone!!!!! I would take about 47 pills a day in total! For a rare syndrome and dislocations!
You will NOT know that you are in legit paint ill you are off everything! I know that sounds silly but it's true! You have been SO addicted for sO long that you brain will do whatever it takes to keep the supply coming - including making your life a living hell! So the only way to trick get at the addiction is either by replacing or tricking! Do NOT take the perc OK? You WILL need more I promise you!
IF you truly feel that you are indeed in pain, I want you to visit your doctor and have him/her figure out how much of a painkiller - I am on Tramacet - would be needed to replace each tablet of Percocet! THEN what you do is for an example
1. You are taking 6 Percs a day - and 2 Tramacet equals 1 Perc - so take 4 percs a day then 2 Tramacet! Do this every 2 weeks BUT on the 2nd week only have 1 tramacet for a perc - so you will be on 3 Tramacets and 3 Percs, Then 4 Tramacet and 1 Perc!! While you are doing this I want you to put the Percs in a smaller bottle and cut them ALL in half! I know you think this is crazy but I SWEAR to you it works! Your addicted brain thinks "WOW! Look at ALL those drugs!" And then you don't panic! So in your case your brain will be thinking you have taken 2 percs when indeed you took 1! IF you have a hard time at the end, just take 1/2 per day!
Do you know what is in the bottom of my purse? My LAST Perc! I will carry this as a symbol of my strength that I kicked this LEGAL hell out of my life! It took me about 6 or 7 months to be totally off them! But like my Godsend of a doctor stated, "IF you do it too fast most people will start again!" Now IF you get panic attacks, have your doctor put you on an anti anxiety medication - short term - this helps with the shakes etc. Then I want you to lower - as much as you can - your Tramacet! Till it is a controlable painkiller! You can even try to go without and see if there is ANY pain actually - that's what I did! Unfortunately with me, I will ALWAYS be in pain - due to the condition! BUT that's just me, maybe you aren't in pain any longer - but THINK you are! And we NEVER question our brains, even though they are killing us!
So remember NICE and SLOW! Get outside get some fresh air, drink lots of water, don't replace it with another thing - such as alcohol, drugs, smoking etc! And get your life back ! You are a WOMAN! And this is your GREATEST strength so use what we were given - our courage and ready for a battle and battle this! I PROMISE you you CAN do this! And keep telling yourself you can too! You might have started using for pressure situations too - I used to call them my |"Not killing the husband pills!!!" ;-) XD So start thinking different ways of coping - I chose sniffing glue!!!!! ;-) ;-) o.O XD XD XD IF you ever need to talk I'm usually on here OK? You have done the hardest you KNOW you are an addict, no reach out and get some! Big hugs and good luck!
