Hi , im really needing help today , I have reduced my tablet intake by 8 tablets, a strip since Monday so thats 4 days, I have normally been taking 32 plus everyday , I buy for the next day so I have for the morning, and my husband is also takes these tablets , so he took a strip last night as he was in pain so he said , I have been so determined this week to do well and I was going to reduce again by 4 tablets next week , I find I have such a temper and loose focus so easy because of him , I really don't need him doing this to me , I do not want to be going into pharmacys all the time , I do not feel that's he supports me enough for me to do this I need every bit of help possible Thanks.
Hi Dian, sorry to hear you are not getting the support you need-you will get all the support you need here- we have all been through the wd's and trying to stop-some succeed some dont-you do need support very few people make it on their own- your temper and getting annoyed could be related to the wd's from the pills- hang in there-you are not alone, keep reaching out here for support-best of luck keep at it-keep reducing the pills-it will get better and will be worth it-
Thank you travelin man very much appreciated .
Hi Dian, I too am a N+ addict..70 pills a day for 2-3 years...I went cold turkey 6-7 weeks ago and endes up 14 days clean...man it was the hardest road ive ever walked...anyway, I ended up having teeth surgically removed..on my 2 week clean mark..so im sure you can imagine what happened...yep back to the pills...its been theee weeks since I started takinb them agian...and today will be my 3rd day clean...the Wds are more forgiving this time..which im thankful for....I still feel stressed out and very moody..but I know it will pass....I guess I just wanted to say that the withdrawals will past...please believe me...its hard yes but what u get in the end is worth more than the pain you will go thru....my biggest problem now is psychological. ..and trying to stay off them...and a realistic view that when it comes to pain pills so early in my recovery is....I just cant have any no matter what the pain....keep coming back here for support...or even see your doctor...thats what they are for....this is your life...its time to take control...you CAN do it...we will all be here for you
Hi Dian - i hope you are getting on ok-hang in there -it will get better-keep reaching out- YOU CAN BEAT THIS
Hi folks, So its day 5 on suboxone, I'm taking 8mg a day, so far I'm managing, but i am worried, i have been reading some posts and it seem that some are struggling to stop suboxone so I'm been sensible, I don't want to struggle with something else , some advice and your encouragement would be appreciated very very much thanks.
Hi Dian - i wouldnt be too worried about the sub just now - wait until you are stable mentally and physically - until you are completely clear of the WD's from the other drugs - once you are using the sub as prescribed and start to taper off it as early as possible - you should be ok - well done on getting this far - you are heading in the right direction - you wont sort this out in a few days - be patient - let things settle down and take their course - you will be fine - you can beat this Dian - hang on in there -good job - well done
Today is day 9 and I'm going back to work today, I admit I'm feeling anxious as I would normally have swollowed about three strips by now and have a box of nurofen in my bag for later but I don't have any and I'm not going to buy, I have my suboxone to take, I'm going to take it just before I go in, so guys and gals wish me luck for today, this will be the first ever day I have never had any for work OMG.
good for you Dian - well done on getting this far - i'll wish you good luck, going to work - but im sure you wont need it - you will be fine - you have come so far - once you get the first day over you will know that you can do it - it's like recovery in many ways - you know you can do this - stay strong and let us know how you get on -
Thanks Travlin man, I didn't do as well as I wished , I had to take 2 suboxone tablets on Sunday , im feeling extremely anxious, i wish I didn't feel like this , I'm thinking that's maybe I'm rushing this process , I'm not sure how much 8 mg of subs are equivalent to 3 strips of nurofen plus would be, what I think would help is instead of taking 1 8mg sub a day have to take 3 subs but less mg a tablet, what do you think? I don't know , I called the DAC to get help but the guy i see is not very good at calling me back, so not very reliable are they. Thanks Dian.
Hi Dian - sorry your having such a hard time - the anxiety should pass in a few days - i think we all go through that when we are trying to quit - dont beat yourself up over having to take the subs on sunday - it is not easy trying to quit and going to work as well - so go easy on yourself - i have no experience of taking subs so i cant give you any useful advise on how many you should take - sorry - you gotta hang in there- i know its hard but YOU CAN DO THIS - keep reaching out - let us know how you are doing - keep telling yourself it will get better - and it will - your doing a great job - keep it going - no matter what DONT stop trying - DO NOT GIVE UP - best of luck - stay strong - you can beat this thing -
Hi Dian - let us know how you are getting on - good or bad - no judgement here, just help and support - keep posting and reaching out -
Thanks, have work again tommorow , I really feel like I have lost all confidence in myself , I couldnt remember something at work and the more thought about it the more I panicked , I felt like running home to be with my husband, I felt so stupid, I hated every minute of it, so I'm really not looking forward to tommorow , but I will soldier on. How are you? Hope your good.
Hi Dian i'm doing ok - good days - bad days - thanks - thats how it goes in early recovery - i know how you felt about going back to work - it's hard work - you gotta stay strong- its really hard i know, but it will be worth it - keep that in your head- you gotta keep reminding yourself what it was like when you were using big time- hang in there Dian you can make it - keep posting - beat this thing now-once and for all - best of luck
