Default Please Read about my having to stop Suboxone

I have 5 2mg Suboxone left, I started back in Suboxone about 3 weeks ago, I had a bunch left over from when I stopped them the last time. Anyhow I was in the Suboxone Program, and hadn't gone to meetings in two weeks, etc. My counselor left me a message 2 weeks ago and said I needed to start my meetings again and meet with him and the nurse. Anyhow I just talked to the nurse and she said I was discharged. And I only have Suboxone unntil tomm morning. So I have no choice but to go sick now, she can't refill it, and I wouldn't be able to even get into another Suboxone dr, that quick...so In a few days I'll be sick, please give me some encouraging advice, I will have some valium to help get though. I know it's gonna be rough. Robert, I know it's not good to jump off, and I have once before due to being sick, and now I have no choice. Not looking forward to this at all, I just want some advice to get through this, not someone telling me I am going to suffer, or shouldn't do this, like I said I have no choice now!!!

I can't work miracles. Only other option is to get some vics or percs, take them for a month to overcome the sub w/d, then taper off the pills. I DON'T recommend that but if you don't want me to tell you that you're going to be sick that is the only other thing I can tell you. Sorry. You're not leaving me any options. God bless.

I have no way of even getting those. Remember my Doctor Shopping incident?? And I would even have to find another Dr. which may take at least 2 weeks, so why bother. Ok so I know I am going to be sick, and even though that sickness varies with everybody do you think Robert or anyone, that I would get 'that' sick from taking it for 3 weeks?? Maybe it would be AS bad as someone who's taken it much longer. I hope and pray that I can manage, I want to be clean. And I really wanted to taper the right way since I had experienced jumping off the last time on Suboxone. Any question...If Suboxone has such a long half life, why do I start to feel minor withdrawals about 7-8 hours later after taking my morning dose? Does that have anything to do with the way my body metabolizes it?? Just wondering, I find it odd that some people hadn't felt sick until a few days after, last time I felt pretty bad the night of taking my last dose, and I had taken that last dose in the evening, maybe it was a bit mental since I knew that next day I wasn't going to take any. I'm going to start another thread about having to stop, to keep myself and others updated, incase this were to happen with someone else. thanks Robert, for at least being willing to help through my taper!
