Hi there! my husband and i have tooken and became addicted to painkillers like vicodin, norcos, percs, etc. you get the idea. i started taking them about 4 years ago just because of the hype (very dumb), and found out "wow, i like this feeling ". my husband took them for the "high feeling " and for his lower back-pinched nerve. but anyways, last year, my husband decided.. enough was enough. he figured, why bother wasting his money for a feeling of your "first high experience " you'll never really feel again. so he went to his doctor who specializes with Suboxone. Suboxone is a medication which specializes with people (like my husband) for opiate dependency. he prescribed him 8mg of it. when he made the appt, the nurse told my husband on the phone, when he comes in he has to be in a mild-moderate withdrawal, therefore when they gave him the Suboxone it could work properly. because if you pop a pain pill before you take Suboxone, your body can actually go into more of a "feening/ craving " withdrawal feeling. so that first day, his dr gave him a whole Suboxone 8mg. the correct way to take this medicine, you have to stick it under your tongue and let it dissolve so it goes into your bloodstream (the taste isnt the greatest, not too bad though). that first day was still pretty rough for him. he layed in bed pretty much all day because he actually felt "high " from the Suboxone (which you do feel somewhat to get you away from the other opiates, just a milder feeling, but it really helps with the cravings). then after the first day, he broke the pill into 4's, and took a piece at a time, basically he just took 2mg at a time...that whole 8mg that first day was personally too much for him, thats why he broke it into 4's). then later in the day, if he felt like he was starting to feel that craving or withdrawal feeling, he would take another piece and was fine. but all in all, since ive tooken painkillers as well, i too have taken Suboxone as well. it does help alot! and it really gets you thru the tough, shitty times. some people are anti-medicine, only natural spiritual things can help. yeah that maybe so, but to me some people (like myself and husband) need that extra kick in the butt, and Suboxone worked for us. but of course, this is just from our experience. and im definitely no doctor. if you're from the detroit, mi area, i know a doctor who prescribes them and helps people with this problem. i truly wish you the best of luck. i hope this sorta helped in anyway... p.s. FYI: only thing that sucks, ive found (for me alteast) the Suboxone tends to give me a headache. go to this website for more information...it helps alot! suboxone.com |
