I had been using large amounts of oxy and heroin, went to 95mgs of methadone, quit taking methadone, and started Suboxone 2 days later, had an allergic reaction to the naloxone and was switched to two 8mg Subutex a day.
try 8mgs once a day. 16mgs is to high and this is why you feel bad. Give it a good week and you will feel normal. You should start to feel the difference in a few days..Hang in there... Dave
there is no reason to take buprenorphene twice a day as it has about a 72 hr half life..
What does a man have to say or do to get some nerve meds(benzo). I smoke weed to calm me down but sometimes I feel like I want to jump right out of my skin, I have also been yelling at my wife and getting extremely violent urges when I can't calm myself down.
this could all be related to not being stabilized. Benzodiazapines are rarely allowed when you're taking buprenorphene or methadone. The risk of respitory failure is to great. Change your dose to 8mgs a day and see how you feel. it is also easier to increase your subutex dose then decrease it. Hang in there a few more days... Dave
I really appreciate all your advice and will even try taking 8 instead of 16, but I also wanted to mention that I take the generic Sub and find it almost impossible not to swallow alot of it because it does not dissolve well at all, and more suggestions?
