I don’t know about up there in the US. Here the expiry dates were written on the pouches. Otherwise, they should be written on the box.

Smoking is difficult, but for me it’s not as hard as opioids to get off. I’m on day 1 again. I had 2 months off the smokes, and only recently started again. Smoking is just like quitting opioids. As long as someone’s determined and keeps trying, they will eventually get there.

Reading all the taper stories and methods has helped me find my most effective way to quit. It’s Suboxone inspired. I get a months worth of patches, and start off strong enough that the thought of smoking makes me sick. Then over the month I slowly "taper" by cutting off tiny pieces. Also lots of chewie gum gotta be on hand. And an emergency pack of nicotine gum, just in case (security blanket). Some people need more than a month. Some patch it up for three months. I still think patches beat gum / lozenges because like Suboxone, it’s just a constant level throughout the day, and completely out of mind. It’s too easy for me to switch between gum / lozenges & cigarettes. They’re too similar.

I only need a month on nicotine patches before I live nicotine free. But I’ll need years on Suboxone before I can be opioid free.

It’s a pretty good article that reaches out to the average reader. It’s always good to see opiate addiction getting headlines – suboxone, too.

I’d suggest some of you make some comments – I see some asshole is saying Suboxone and methadone are actually DANGEROUS. I’ll have to draft a response to that myself. UGH.

The greater bulk of medical job openings involves clinical medicine, or the field of medicine that has to do with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. This implies that there are less people who are fully qualified to occupy a position involving patient consultations and diagnoses/treatment of illnesses.

Hi Alan,

I am so glad you are doing better. You should be very proud of yourself you had a rough time but you stayed the course. Keep that determined mind set and you will do just fine.

I have found for me taking a higher dose in the morning followed by 2 smaller doses thru out the day controls my pain the best. I take 8mg in the morning, 4mg around noon and my last 4mg early evening. I am not sure if this will help you because we are all so different. When you see your Dr make sure to be completely honest with how your feeling so he can adjust your sub accordingly.

I am very proud of you for hanging in there and extremely happy you are finally feeling better. Let us know how your appointment goes.
