Hello everyone . Today is my first day on suboxone after a horrible night having to clean out my system for 24 hours. Man I feel good and it's only the first day!!
I went to the clinic at 5 this morning to have them monitor me take my first dose.I then had to go straight to work and cook for 7 hours and the whole time I felt normal for once !! Back to the same ol me! They said that the first day is still a little hard and everyday after that gets easier, but I have been truly blessed to have such a normal day today. This really works . I can't remember who it was that gave me the info and the web site to search for doctors in my area but whoever it was THANK YOU ,,,,,,,,, I feel like Im coming back to me.
Hey Wenses,
I don't know if was me, but I have passed along the Samsha.gov site to a lot of people. Maybe it got to you roundabout. Anyway, you got it and found a doc to help you.
I've been on suboxone for a while and it is great. Normal, everyday life. No cravings and no withdrawls. I also like the fact that it will negate anything you try to take to get high. (if you take a lot of something to get high and are on suboxone, it could throw you into bad withdrawal.) Watch out!
So, good luck to you and stick with it!!!

Natasha , thanx . Yeah this is really cool I wonder how tommorrow will feel. I guess it can only get better huh? And believe me I won't be taking anything to get high, I don't want to ruin it now.
Oh how long should I have to be on this
N-
You will feel better and better. As your body (and brain) heals from the abuse, you will feel increasingly better. You need to get as much rest as you can, and be good to yourself. (sleep, good food, plenty of liquids-- water, juice, etc.) I was tired and slept a lot at night for a long time (thank God I was able to do that). Now, I can get up early and stay up till 11 or so. I'm so glad you have found a road to recovery that is good for you.

Honey,
As long as it takes. You will know when you need to cut back (how much are you on?) and when you are ready to come off. I get real depressed when I don't take it. My doc said I may be on it forever. Think about it -- i abused my body for 10-12 years -- every day in the last 3 years. The old brain cells take a while to recover from that. I'm older, so maybe that's my problem with getting off. Don't worry about it -- you'll know when the time comes.

Wenses,
BTW, I'm going to go watch TV and eat something. Didn't want to leave without saying goodnight!

They say that any where from 6 months to a year is suggested because of the brain getting a chance to heal too. That way I won't go right back to the pills. But is getting of the sub hard too?
Goodnight.....
Don't know, haven't been there yet. Don't worry about it. One day at a time. Just keep doing good. Nite-nite.
