It has been quite a while since I last posted here. I first posted when I was at my lowest and feeling desperate. So many people were there for me and you all were very helpful. Then all of the sudden nobody hears anything from me. That was selfish of me. But I have isolated myself from almost everyone in my life. I am the one who's doctor abandoned me and I had to come off at 8mg/day of suboxone. Well, after threatning to sue him, he finally called me. I am now down to 3mg/day! I have to say that I feel a lot better and my plan is to totally come off of it eventually. It has been a slow process. My mind and body are just now totally adjusted to going from 8mg to 3 mg. That extra 5mg made a difference. I am feeling better but things are still tough. It always seems like when it rains, it pours!

Oh my Gosh honey...i remember you.....
actually people posted asking for you a fair amount after you first stopped
coming here..
Im so glad you checked back in...
Congrats on getting yourself down to a low dose of the sub....it sounds like being cut off at a really high dose is just as bad as going cold turkey from any other narcotic, and maybe even worse from what i hear, so thank goodness you had the piece of mind to go after your Dr to assist you.
He owes that to you....
Are you doing anything else for yourself? Any therapy or counselling? Any support at all??
Im really proud of you...keep up the great work honey..im so glad you are doing well..

Hi Summer,
I've been thinking about you and hoping you are well. I'm glad you checked in. I didn't know if your doctor had continued you on the sub taper, or cut you off. Email me anytime. Just remember what I said about tapering. Try to get down to the smallest amount possible, and at a point where you are taking every other day before you decided to stop. I'm so happy you are at 3mg.
It's nice to hear from you. Don't be afraid to reach out to the online friends you have made. Nobody expected daily updates, we are all still here for you. Isolating is not good for you, but I understand it. Maybe take your beautiful boy someplace this weekend, to the park or something he likes to do. You will feel better if you get out, even if just for a few hours.
Hugs,
Atlas

Hey Kelli! Great to hear from you! I know the taper is tough, but hang on and take it slow this time.
I haven't been around much, either, but you have our emails and phone numbers if you need us, Sweetie, please use them!!
