Suboxone: Methadone & Heroin Facts

Question: Another suboxone question?

(Posted by: on 2010-03-10 04:31:39)

I've been on 3 suboxone for two years. They are switching my insurance to medicare because I'm disabled. I think I'm gonna have to give up the subs. If I have a bunch, whats the best way to wean down? Give me a chart please. Like 2 a day for a week, then 1 1/ 2 a day for a week, then 1 a day for a weeek, then half a day for a week, then quarter a day for a week, then quarter every other day for a week, then done? sound good? I don't want withdrawals. I've been through them so many times. They are switching me to medicare june first. I am so scared. Does anyone know if any part D coverage covers suboxone? I'll cut down, but I don't wanna give it up. I'm so scared. The government is changing my insurance, and its like a blindside. I cant even pick a medicare prescription plan till may 1st. My Masshealth paid for everything. I don't get it. I've robbed pharmacy's, I've pickpocketed, I'm a menace to society when I'm getting high. It's in the government's best interest to keep me on suboxone. It's like a mirical. I dont crave. I dont get high. I am stable, and now they want to f*** me up. I just don't get it. Hey Lone! Thanks for the assumption. I am fine. Many people take 3 aday. Thats why masshealth pays for 3 a day. If it was too high, then the doc and ins would say something. I've done my research. I've made my decision. I don't need snide remarks from a know it all. I am fine. I asked a simple question and you lecture me. U must be a peach to hang with. Loser. Don't answer questions if your only goal is to insult the person asking. I've been to long term treatment many times. I've been locked up. Everything. My doctor and insurance came up with a medical option for me. I never I repeat never feel high. Never ever ever ever. I hope you feel good trying to knock people down. You probably trip blind people too huh? Whatever, I'm not gonna let one idiot ruin my day. U haven't done 1/ 100th the research I've done. Keep your mouth shut. Tool Lone blocked.....I love tech. How am I even thinking straight on such a whopping dose. I used to shoot up 5 80mg oxy every day for years. I tried one suboxone and still had cravings. Went to two and still had cravings. Went to three (which the insurance pays for so it must be a safe dose) and I have no cravings. I'm stable. I live life. I'm engaged. I take care of everything. I don't need someone like Lone to come and knock me down. I will stand up for myself. It is not too high a dose for ME. see its different for everyone. If 3 a day was bad then ins wouldn't pay. I've been on 3 for over two years with no problem. I'll just slowly ween down. I gueess. Thanks for the help, I mean insult, It means alot to me. I'm glad I got the support.

Sooner or later the Suboxone will stop working anyways, so you might better get off it before that happens. 24 mg's a day is a WHOPPINGLY HUGE DOSE. That dose would KILL anyone who is not opiate dependent. No one, and I mean no one needs that big a dose. I know hardcore heroin addicts that get by on 2 mg's a day juts fine. it seems more like you are worried about losing your free high than getting clean, and it sounds like you are anything BUT stable. Can you say long term rehabilitation?
