And I went to a few individual therapy sessions, had full support of our recovery group, which helped. Usually dropping the dose takes care of it pretty quickly. I tell my doctor everything and he is great and he did tell me I was on a low dose before and I know we need to reevalute how I take it.
I now think there are many forms of this illness. Eventually I was given Sub in 2005 and it's a gift of mixed blessings. If you start on the Suboxone program but you fail to comply with program rules, you can expect that the doctor will switch you to the methadone program.The initial Suboxone dose for most people is 4mg or 8mg, and you will have to return to the MAT program clinic within a couple days for re-evaluation. You are sober and you are a valued member of our support group.Rob you are right patti is a ANGEL. Dont give up and keep trying that is what is important. If a person like my old friend, is going to live a life of relapse after relapse, and misery inbetween while he struggled to stay clean, only to die from an OD at 53, why not just stay on Sub.
Few people take a Suboxone dose greater than 24mg.The side effects of buprenorphine formulations including Suboxone include nausea and vomiting; achiness and cramping of muscles; distress, irritability, and restlessness; constipation; and cravings.
But notice I said low doses FEEL better than high doses.
I hope you can find a compassionate knowledgeable addiction therapist whom you understand, and who is more in agreement with your drs assessment that you need it still and may for life. Its hard because I have 5 years clean back in 2000 and still feel I can attain that but if the altenative is to stuggle and almost die from heroin it is not worth it. This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged. I never meant to imply to ANYONE that most people need to taper off of it as opposed to staying on it for life. Hey Nik Nak, i think it is supposed to mean 4 mgs in am and 4 in pm. Even my Dr thought it would be low but I seem to be doing fine. It almost sounds like you are in ANHEDONIA, WHERE NOTHING, NO ONE AND NO PLACE LETS YOU FEEL PLEASURE. And you will return to a life in which you fully participate—a world where you live, work, and play with happiness and pride. I used other drugs, but i feared opiates, and I stayed away from them. I freaked too, but re read it and feel pretty sure that is what it means. You should be taking enough to not feel cravings, To me, the fact that you did With enough Sub you should have no cravings at all. The pain was chronic. we had some naysayers at AA say we weren't really sober, counselor said we are. Your friend John.
(That's not entirely true. I never worry about what other people think. I never really thought of the consequences of living that type of life and now being a convicted felon and not having any hope that I can stay clean I feel the only choice is to just give up. And I'm glad you said your age.
You must also be very aware that Suboxone can depress the respiratory system. I need to listen to the people who are treating me and leave it alone.I am 44 and feel like I made a failure out of it. You lived.
I still have some pain but I must have built up a pretty high tolerence because the dosage increased over the years.
I had been taking the Oxycotins at least 120 to 200 per day for years and years. Whay is a good dose.
It was approved in 2002 for this purpose. I got down to 2mg in about 6 months, cravings and I used heroin for the first,time in 7 years.

The doctor included those cases in the research.In some cases, the patient failed to communicate that they were on Suboxone therapy.
PattiHi patty, I just updated my email. Warning Signs Your Methadone Dosage is Too Low. Of course this also means I am not welcome at NA and AA. so many of us want to do it alone, whether it is out of guilt, shame, or just because we think we got ourselves into this, we have to get out by ourselves and sometimes it helps to have a support team. Please stay here with us for support, you have the dr, the counselor, the med, now maybe you could use some support. Thank you Patti you are my angel and I still remember our first chat here. I was taught old school and at 44 and being in AA, NA on and off for 20 years I have it in my head that I should be on nothing but I know that type of thinking is hurting me. I was also dismayed that people with 3 and 5 years clean time, had the same emotional problems as I did with 3 weeks clean time. I started on 8 mgs and I was only on four to six lortab 10s per day and got moved to 12 mgs, def too much for my usage but didn't know that. 33 mg is too much because at that dose the Bupe in Sub becomes an antagonist, instead of a partial agonist) But other than that, what's too much for me may be just right for you and visa versa.
