Help.I am confused.I was a hydrocodone addict about 5-10 norco a day.I got help and got on suboxone.I have been on sub for 8 months just 3milg a day.I relapsed i waited 26nhoursn after having 1milg of sub and started on norco.I had to take twice as much as back in the day to feel anything.I am worse now then on the sub obviously.ts been 7 days 5-7norco a day.Its been 1 day without vic and i have major w/d already.is it w/d from sub or norco? I have 16 2milg suboxone.how do I start now with just this much?

Bottom line is suboxone is much stronger than norco or hydro. Many people don't realize they are often trading a relatively small habit, for a much larger more powerful one. In my opinion, I don't think doctors should ever perscribe someone suboxone unless they had a big heroin, oxy, or roxy habit. But that's just me...in too many cases it is overkill. I am not sure on exactly what you should do. If you only have 16 mg subs, you should try to get more. My initial thoughts would be to stop using anything, go into withdrawal, score a 26 on the cows worksheet, and have robert induct you all over again, and would very likely have you on 2mg per day, and taper down from there...OR you stop using, and cold turkey detox using the Thomas Recipe.

it seems to me you could use the subs you have, but you really only have enough to take one a day (2mg) to last until you can get some more if your appointment goes as planned in 13 days or so...i would think you will be okay until you get some more. it might be difficult for the first few days, but you can eventually level out at 2mg per day.
