Hey I've been on subs for about 8 months now after being addicted to norco and oxy for acouple years. I am mentally ready to put this s*** behind me, but I feel like my doctor is just winging it here. He is trying to get me to jump down 2mg at a time and I feel it's too much and I will relapse. I was on 7mg per day and made the jump to 6.5MG a day, seven days ago. I am not having physically wd's but I am feeling lethargic and depressed much more than I anticipated. I am devoted to getting off subs, but this is affecting my job. I am going to ask the doctor to put me back on my adderall because i can't afford to be useless at work. How long should I expect to feel this way every time I jump down? Any insight would be great. I'm just scared, I've never been hooked on something like this before and I hope I can be the old me again.
Dude, you gotta quit trying to do it "your way" .. your way got you here.
You have to put trust in someone (NOT YOU) to get you clean/sober and sane.
If you don't/can't trust the doctor then get a new one.
You say you think he/she is "winging it" - who are you to judge the doctors method?
I got clean/sober when I put my trust in a good sponsor in AA/NA and followed his advice.
Good luck to you.

I think of you met my doctor you'd agree. He has to ask me what meds I'm taking and how much every time I get in there. He asked my why I'm taking so much suboxone when he is the one who prescribed it. He's not too on point. From my meetings with him I just feel like he doesn't have much experience with addiction. I have a support group and a one here at home. I really just need advice on what to expect in regards to weaning and how much others found appropriate.
