Suboxone Chat Room (Page 2) (Top voted first)

I have now been on suboxone for a year, I got on it when I found out I was pregnant last January 2013 and I had my beautiful healthy daughter in August 2013 I used to be on subutex during my pregnancy but once I had my daughter I was switched to suboxone. I am on 2 1/2 strips a day and my doctor has been wanting to lower my dose however I have so much going on that I am really nervous to do so. I have lately been dealing with my daughter on my own her father just didn't show me the respect I deserved and he wasn't willing to work to support our daughter so we separated and now I am left on my own with all the finances out daughter and looking for employment which this all just recently happened since the last time I saw my doctor on top of that my daughter has medical issues due to her throat not developing correctly during my pregnancy so we have multiple doctor visits for her monthly and she has special feeding rules and medications to take so I am very overwhelmed. My doctor seems to be harder on me then his other patients some who have been on suboxone for 5+ years so this is making me very nervous to ask him to up my dose from 2 1/2 to 3 strips a day. Does anyone have any advice? I've really been trying to stick it out but I just feel like an emotional wreck and like my body can't take the stress. Please I need advice! How should I ask my doctor to up my dose?

I’m wondering if anyone else has been in the situation I’m in... I’m on subs 2mg a day.. I went to a diet dr today and got adipex.. they didn’t ask many questions. I was planning on not taking it until after I go to my sub doctor bc I take a U/A every month.. I planned on just taking the adipex here and there to help me lose weight and stopping taking them before I would go to my next sub appointMent. So... now I’m worried that when I go to get my subs filled next week they’re going to see in their database that I’m on the diet pills and not want to fill my script. does anyone have experience with a situation like this?

Me too, struggling. I just read an interesting article, you should read it. Suboxone: Concerns Behind The Miracle. Here is what I wrote him and hoping he is still around, I want off the Subs BADLY!

-------- Forwarded message --------

Hello sir, pray you're out there. Just read your 2010 article Subs: Concerns Behind The Miracle. I wish my Dr had read it too before prescribing 3 - 8/2 strips a day for 6 years now. I'm 74 w/ COPD and it's getting suddenly worse. I'm up 1/2 the night for many months now and can't sleep more than 2 hours in a row. Still very active and running my own biz, still power walking a mile to a mile 1/2 at the gym. Tried tapering 1/2 a dozen times with no luck. This time I'm down to 85 strips 2 months in a row but things are getting worse and I need help. Can you refer me to someone/place? I am in the Detroit, Michigan area. My holistic Dr. does not seem concerned after 6 years, I think it was still is a $ thing. He is 80 and very healthy but no real help detoxing till I get down to 2 strips. Thanks for your time. Please be out there.

Regards, Gordy

Really i don't think upping your dose will do any good honey. I sympathize with you tho sincerely cause my financial and parental educational obligations are driving me insane. But after that two strips for the day i don't a increase will have any real affect. N docs r really iffy bout increases or even adding other meds but anything worth a try. Ide all about anti anxiety meds like clonazepam. Good luck tho.n hang in there. Blessings to your baby

I know its really hard.I'm still trying too find a way without a crutch too. Trying to stay busy with activities interesting to me while taking my meds as prescribed helps. But i think groups may help me too, just other ppl in similar situations to talk to in confidence. Maybe it will work for you or 1 on 1 counseling. I hope you find something that works for you. We are all trying to get through. Believe it. Blessings!

Re: littlemoremercy (# 11)

I've been on 8mg sub for 10yrs. I deal with depression, that all the opiates were covering up. New meds,patience,honesty, and give yourself a break.

Can someone tell me please ASAP if I can go to a sub doc to get on a program the right way? I just didn’t know if I went in on my first U/A I don’t have to show dirty for opiates do I? I can go in with just Buprenorphine in my system, correct? Thank you.
