Suboxone is making me ill. I was prescribed suboxone due to codeine abuse

I felt like I was completely loopy when I first started, but only felt "sick" when I took too much. This is a thought, cut the strip up into 4 pieces. Take 1/4 piece at a time until you can handle it. The stuff will make you feel horrid if you take too much. OMG, so gross. I feel bad for you. I know we need it to cope, but at what price? Try taking less and see if that doesn't help. You may work up to it. You may not NEED 8mg a day. Keep in mind, you'll have to work your way down on the other side to get off of it. The less you need to stay away from the pills, the better. Just because they give you 8mg, doesn't mean you have to take it all. Yeah, too much makes you feel like complete $#%$!!! Keep us posted on how you do and if that helps.

Hi i live in scotland as its a controlled drug you have to take it in front of pharmacist.
I felt better yesterday managed a light breakfast.
I went to chemist yesterday was given 6mg didnt feel as bad just dizzy and a sore belly so today im trying 4mg see how i feel.

Wow, they make you take it there. I'm in the US, so we're allowed to take it home and manage it there. I think you'll find some relief with the lower dosages, and hope you'll have the same results. I was a Vicodin fan. I know people classify them as "lower in the drug chain", but as you're experiencing, they're no joke. Good luck to you. I hope you find a happy medium. Having to take everything in front of the pharmacist is going to be real fun when having to come off of it. I wrote a thing up in here where I was cutting them in to smaller and smaller squares, but you don't have the freedom to do so. Good luck and keep up the great work. You can beat this monster :)

Sorry, I replied as a guest It's still me, RoadglideUltra. If you want to talk, maybe we can ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** posting of social network links, groups, invitations, or usernames is not allowed *** Please read our Terms of Use. I know how hard this is to deal with, and I'm willing to talk/help out as much as I can. I have a surgery coming up on the 29th (prostate cancer...fun fun, and I'm only 49), so I'll be down for a couple of days, but I can speak before and after that. I went through my battle with vicodin 4-5 years ago, and stayed on subs for 2-3 years working my way down. I just kicked the subs 10-11 days ago, not too bad, but I have the luxury of cutting them up over here. Too bad they don't have instant messaging on this site. Again, I've never used the FB live chat (I skype for work all the time), but we can try it. I'll also give you my number in the email if you want and you're welcome to call, but that could get expensive for you. Funny you're from Scotland. That's where my family is from originally. I got the red hair out of it...lol. :) Let me know if you're interested and I'll write out my email on here. I don't want to post it, if you're not interest. You can do this man. One of the hardest things I've done in my life, and I've been through two wars with the military, and beat up pretty bad by other injuries. Nothing compared to this kind of battle. I feel you man (or woman). Dave
