Hi All - I am a newbie here but I have not been around for a week or so ..... modem broke - I hate that! I have read pretty much every post on Sub and decided just a few weeks ago that this was the route for me. I have been in rehab and stopped on my own more times than I can remember but I always went back. I have been an addict for about nine years with the last three seeing a dramitic increase in my usage thanks to online pharmacies. No one put a gun to my head but they sure did make it easy. Anyway I found a great Dr. - he is actually a Behavioral Specialist and has an extensive backround in the treatment of addiction - and I start tomorrow at 9 AM. I have been encouraged by what I have read about Sub here and I pray (and hope you will throw a prayer my way as well) that this works. Nothing else has. After interveiwing me my Dr. said that I would probably need to be on this as long as a year which is kinda scary but nothing is more frightening then the way I have been lately. I am in mild withdrawel now - I stopped this afternoon but I am definatly in panic mode. I know what to expect and its not pretty. I guess I should'nt complain as it is only a day but withdrawel is so scary. I have a great supportive husband and he will be taking me. From what I have read it seems as though I will be OK by tomorrow afternoon??? I just cannot imagine that it works so well and so fast. I know that somewhere down the road I will have to deal with Sub withdrawel but right now I just have to get off this stuff. Thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences - wish me luck! I will let you know how it goes. My doc gave me an ambien for tonight and I am hoping I will be able to sleep.
Thanks to all!
Good Luck to you.. Please keep us posted as many are just starting on the journey with Sub, your story can help more than you know...
You will be fine. I was on it for 8 months. Just because the doc said a year today that could change.
Sounds like you found a doctor you like. That is the key with the drug. Having that support from the doctor. A good specialist is worth his/her weight in gold.
Mine saved my life.
Good luck --Jeff
