Advice on kicking norco?

Good night L...

A.-

i will definitely update to my situation and what my docs plan for me will be. Once again I appreciate the help and look forward to keeping updated to help me through the process.

Thanks Lara, you rock..

maso4169... good night my buddy!! Hope you are feeling better?
Long time no talky talky chatty chatty!! ;)

you rock too wants_off

Thanks Laurie, you rock.

This morning I only took two and will be taking two in 6 hours.. Another two at bedtime and my dose should be ok at 6 daily for now. Just the advice and knowing that I am not abnormal for the feelings I have and its typical with what I have been through after surgery.

My only wish is better management of product like this after surgery. Doctors should be more on top of this and deliver the plan of weaning. I did not even know this would be part of the process and I may have gone a different treatment route if I did.

Will update after my visit to the doc!

Ok, let us know what the doc says.

Ok, well first and foremost I must say I love my doc.

Here is our plan. He informed me that I was just not a candidate for weaning off the medicine since I still have post op pain. We developed a plan for my getting off the norco..

After my vacation, per my request, I will be performing a 5hr detox with the doctor on sub to establish what amount is needed. He will also be performing a sleep study on me for my RLS.

If my pain is not manageable with OTC pain meds he will be switching my to lyrcia (i think he called it).

The problem as he explained is that I still have pain. Meaning the one bad day I have I will go back to taking more pills and back to 10 a day I go.

I tell you the relief to know I am not a crackhead and there are ways out of this I feel blessed this morning. Thank you all for all your support. It was needed and well used!

Please don't start the Suboxone too quickly after your last dose of Norco. You need to wait 24 hours after your last dose before starting Suboxone so you don't have percipitated withdrawals. To read about the use of Suboxone, try the following link:

Good luck, have a great vacation, and stay in touch.

Thanks for the concern and this is also what my doctor instructed me to do as well. I will be stopping for a full 24 hrs. Doc will then start my detox and administer the sub to find the correct dose for me to use I guess. About a 4-5 hour process I guess. He also said you have to carry a different type of license to be able to perform this process as a doctor.

What about marijuana? Is this OK to use while on sub. I will ask my doc of course.

And maybe sub is also a good time to quit smoking cigarettes too? Obviously a good month after I am off the Norco but my do said it would be a 6-7 month process.

This sounds correct?

Yep, sounds correct. Good luck and do stay in touch.
