suboxone makes me feel bad

[silkie]

Hello,
I take 8mg of suboxone every morning for 6 days now. I was on (ABOUT 10) lorcet 10's for 9 years. The suboxone makes me sick, nauseous and dizzy. Since ive only been on it for 6 days would this be a good time to taper down? I dont have insurance so I cant afford to stay on this a long time. I just want to feel good again, and i wAnt to stay off of any opiates. One good thing i do not have any desire to take my old pills again.
thank you for any help!

Ok, I read the post by robert, im going to try not to take any subs at all today then tomorrow start off with a really small dose. Then try his method. Does this sound like a good idea? Or should I just cut down today? I feel ok right now, not sick or dizzy.
Any ideas?
thank you

Hellooo, Well guess im talking to myself! Anyway I ended up doing a tiny bump today maybe 1/10 of a 8mg pill. Feel pretty good today, not sick. I ordered some detox vitamins. I have 4 8mg tablets left so Im going to taper with those then start my vitamins when they come.

Hello! Congrats on tapering!!

What type of vitamins did you get? I hear that Magnesium helps a lot with detoxing. But I am uncertain what else.

Since you haven't been on it for long, it might not bother you to reduce that quick. However, I'm not as experienced with Suboxone taper as some of the "old timers" on this sight. But, I will say this, you are lucky you've only been on it for a week or so. Very lucky. I'm approaching 4 years in a couple of months. Sad. I know. But, I am on my way down. I am currently at 1mg and holding strong, feeling great. Good luck on your taper! You are one lucky person to be on and off of this strong drug so fast.
Best of luck to you on your sobriety.

Good luck to you with your taper! Honestly i dont think my doctor will be very happy with me but im taking this into my own hands. Its not over yet. I detoxed last year and stayed clean about 4 months and the year before that and stayed clean about 5 months. I went ct the other times but last year I lost about 30 pounds, didnt know i had paws. never even heard of that until I found this forum. I think I aged 10 years! it took so much out of me thats why I tried subs this time. Then i found out wd can even be worse on subs Im gonna try and guit before I get hooked on them too! I cant keep doing this to my body!
Thanks to everyone. reading through the old post and current ones its good to learn and know your not alone.
stay strong!
