Ive been on Suboxone since June for hydrocodone addiction, i was induced at 32mg daily. and have been on that dose since then. After looking through here i see that that dose is too high for me and im starting to feel like i did back in my hydro days basically starting to engage in the addiction rituals and stuff like that. And i have taken more than my 32 mg daily especially when my bones are killing me, and i have also tried to spread the word to my friends and family members who are also addicted to vikes or percs well in the long run i dont have enough to last til my next appt. Im starting to feel and see that i just replaced one addiction with another.

Ok so here comes the hard part i have 5 pills to last me ten days. The last time i took one was about 28 hours ago and im feeling fine so far. What i want to know is when i start to feel w/d will i need to take the 32mg to get me out of the w/d's or can i go lower see what im thinking is i have a 32mg dosage built up in my body and that as it leaves my body the only way i wont be in w/d is if i have that steady 32mg so basically does it have to be steady, im kinda lost on how to go about it. And when i get my scripted filled in ten days how would i go about tapering to eventually getting off of these things.
Im kind of confused and hope i havent confused anyone else,

W/d's from vikes were TERRIBLE! From what ive read all over theh internet that Sub w/d's are worse and im scared! I live in a small town that no one even knows what Sub's are let alone how to help me and my Dr is one of them walk in, in it for the money, being sued, just plain out in it for the $ clinics but he's the only one within 75 miles authorized to prescribe them. He would be happy to see me on these things for yrs as long as he gets his $200 cash up front,

Sorry this is soooo long i tend to ramble, plz any advice would be of great help to me and my family (single mom of 4 kids under age of 7)

I've been up all night again with bad pain issues but will be going to church soon as God ALWAYS helps me feel better. Melinda and I never miss worshipping our Lord and Savior. HIS blessings are never-ending for us.

Here is a link for you to read while I'm in church. Pay very close attention. This is the process I suggest daily that people follow while on subs. The forum is full literally of people who have used this process successfully for years. Ask around about it while we are in church. Melinda and I will be back home right after church.

Tell me as much about yourself and your using history as you can while I'm gone. I'll look for your post right here on this thread when we return about 1:00. We are outside of Seattle so we're on Pacific time so you'll know. Please keep all our personal communication between us right here. We'll look for you when we get home in a little while. God bless.

I used hydrocodone for about 18 months started as one every 4 hours for a back injury, 18 months later i was up to 5-7.5mg every 4 hours so thats about 30 pills daily. Towards the end i lost my job i couldnt get out of bed just the basic typical addict story. So i did some research on Suboxone found that a dr in my town prescribes them, it was simple walked in told him im an addict and that same day he sent me on my way with my Suboxone didnt tell me NOTHING except take as prescribed. That was in June i do believe Suboxone is wonderful but i also bellieve i should have had myself in some kind of support system besides just taking the pills. up until last month i took them faithfully well then i started getting back into my junkie state of mind and basically getting tired of the suboxone as i said earlier so that my background

I actually read that link before i posted and i totally see the concept but i didnt know how that would work for me since ive already been inducted (at high doses by me Dr) im absolutely willing to try 100% I have nothing to lose and everything to gain from this type of tapering since im deathly terrified of w/d's. I still have not taken anything except Ibprofen for leg and back pain. Considering i have a butt load of hydros in my closet i could just easily take them but im determined to kick this whole addictioin thing and would much rather Stay away from that route and stick with my suboxone treatment BUT i would like to get off of the subs the way my dr talks i could be on them for YEARS! and i dont want that. So like i said im willing to try and follow it to the tee!

Thanks again for replying i look forward to hearing from u again
