Suboxone to help stop Tramadol?

Wow. See the thing is I am now on suboxone. I was using 8 to 10 (50mg) tramadols a day. My dr put me on 8mg a day of suboxone. But halfs. So 4mg in the morning and 4mg at night. But yesterday was my frst time and 4mg was way too much! I felt high as hell! But not a good high.like I threw up and everything. This morning I took 2mg (a half of a half) and I still got high but not that intense. So I think I won't even take my other 2mg tonight. I think 2mg a day broken in half (I know those are basically crumbs lol) would be perfect for me. Because I do not want to get high at all. Just wanna feel normal. So basically ill start taking 1mg twice a day. Which is beneficial for me because I hear suboxone is hard to get off of especially tapering under 4mg. I'm only on suboxone for a two week detox. So far I'm happy. I mean I'm even more happy that I only need to take 1mg to get withdrawal relief. Hope everything worked out!

Also, why are you tapering up? I get confused because for one I see that a lot on here that ppl taper up. And my drs directions are 4mg for the next two days. Twice a day. Then 4mg three times a day for the remainder of the two week program. So he was tapering me up too. BUT he verbally told me if I can do without that amount then that's great and wonderful. He said if 2mg works for me then that's great! Then I said "yeah because I was told its hard to taper down on suboxone after 4mg" and he said "yes that's correct so if you can stay at a low dose then that's amazing" so I don't even understand why the directions were to taper up but its so "awsome" if I taper down lol

Hi. I'm going to see a Doctor this Wednesday to discuss treatment options. For those of you on Suboxone right now, how is it going? Any recommendations/warnings?

It worked for me :) todays my first day off everything including suboxone. So far so good. Don't rely on suboxone though. It takes agreat amount of strengt within to get clean. Suboxone just helps along the way.

Could i ask how the process works with the doctor and Suboxone. How many do you get at one time? Thanks. I'm seeing the suboxone doctor on Wednesday and your posts have given me hope.

Waiting (and all), Well, I have the Suboxone in my hands (the heavy duty 8mg/2mg kind). Honestly I'm freaked out to try it. I'm 19 hours from my last dose of Tramadol (and was taking between 8-12 50mg a day). I appreciate the information and am going to try a tiny piece of it and see what happens. Stay tuned...

Hey I took my first 4mg (which for me was wayyyyy too much) 12 hrs after my tramadol and I was fine.didn't get sick from withdrawals. You should be fine. Keep us updated

I took a fourth of an 8mg strip @ 2pm. By 3pm I didn't notice all that much so I took another fourth (total of 4mg between the two doses). Now I'm noticing it! I'm laying down but feeling that jittery feeling like when u take too much Sudafed or caffeine. Waiting, u mentioned that feeling on your first dose. I know exactly what u are talking about. How long before u got sick? Glad to say 4mg is too much at one time. Damn this stuff is strong. It has gotten rid of w/d symptoms however. More to come...

8pm. Didn't get sick. Definitely have a buzz though. Not sure that's a good thing. I'm not in tramadol w/d though. That is good. Will be interested to see how well I sleep.

Today started out ok. Took 4mg this Morning and seemed ok. Took 2mg at lunch and started to get nausea as the day progressed. It feels like too much suboxone. This is where I get confused. Am I not taking enough or is it too much? I'm going to try to not take anymore today and instead take 3mg in morn and 3mg at night. Maybe. Not sure so any feedback is appreciated.
