Hi All,
I haven't checked in in a while. Couldn't really share too much because i was still still on the fence about jumping over to the clean side. Well I stopped the Vic's Thursday night and by Friday AM I was in some bad WDs. Started to twitch and itch, yawn, sneeze, snap and cry!!! I was a basket case. By 1PM I was pacing from all the muscle twitches. Then heaven...my doctor appointment at 2:00PM. I started with 2-2mgs of sub under the tongue while they checked my BP. But after 30 minutes I was still twitching fairly bad. I almost started to cry until the doc gave me another sub and then wham it was over and i was on top of the world. He gave me 2 more 2mgs of Suboxone not subutex to take later in the day and I only needed to take one. I felt fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but only sleep 4 hours. I just took another 2mg (first one for today) but doc thinks I will need to take 2-2mgs three times per day thats 12mgs per day to feel normal. He thinks I will be on the sub for months. I feel better than I have felt in years. I feel like I could run a marathon or something. But am I too high. Why can't I sleep. Don't get me wrong though, I am not complaining. If this is the worst of it then I am in heaven.
You all have been so great! Thanks for everything! I am so happy. Is this a trick though, and will I get some backlash here today or soon?
Hugs to all!
Mary
Mary,
Good for you. Glad you are feeling better... I have never taken sub personally so I can only tell you I have heard when starting the sub that some people talk about not sleeping right for a few days and some have headaches.
How many mgs of vic's were you taking when you started the sub? Hope you have a nice weekend.. Rae

May God Bless you in your quest for sobriety.
Hi Mary Glad to hear you are feelinhg better.with the sub it took my body to get use to them.I felt like you did too.So strong & well sort of like a high but not really.The first week in the mornings I would have the weepies,I would cry alittle & I just rode it out cause I knew what it was.Also by the end of 7 days my sleeping acyually got better.Im a crappy sleeper to begin with,I use to go up & down all night.Now I get up 1 time & wake up at 5.It may take your body alittle while to get use to not having your DOC but you dont have that horriable physical WD.Good Luck & keep in touch...mj
Ran out to feed the horses....Thanks for the replys! Firstly, Rae I was taking 15- 10mgs per day. Sometimes a little less depending on the amount I had left. I could never have gotten off of them ant other way than this. I would start to have wds after only 8hours. I needed to take a pill in the middle of the night to sleep if i did not take one b/f bedtime. I am so happy right now!!!! Thanks a million for the words of encouragement.
Bumpnbad...God Bless you too!!! He was looking out for me this week and i am grateful. This decision was so hard.
MollyJean..your always so nice to everyone! Thanks for that. My doc said to adjust my dose as needed. Am I speedy b/c I am taking too little or too much. I am not taking as much as he said!
More hugs and have a great day!

Your probably speedy because you took a tad too much, try cutting your dose a little tomorrow and see how you feel. As long as your not nauseous you didnt take way too much so thats good. The first 2-3 days are a experiment to see what you need so hang in there.
