Yes, I do. These cards are great as long as you don’t try to use them along with insurance. I would recommend trying several different cards, not just the freedrugcard one. they all have different negotiated prices, so some will offer better prices than others.

So my last use was 11 am yesterday. I made it to 4am and took a 4mg subutex after waking up in fullblown wd. I remember putting it in my mouth and praying that pw would not happen and the next thing i knew i woke up at 10 am feeling fine. I took clonodine all day today and just took it easy. I was planning on waiting as long as possible (36+ hours) to take my suboxone strips. Iys now 11pm and i am starting to feel w/d set on…im just really nervous about taking a suboxone. After al this work it would break my heart if i went into pw. What do you guys think? Would i b ok? I only plan on taking 2mg im just…scared. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for the reply. Yes I beleive you are probably right. I’m just looking for answers and I’m a little scared putting me in a rush for answers. I will just wait longer and try to be more patient. Going through this tapering off I kinda hit a wall and started feeling really lousey and I guess it made me pretty anxious and impatient. Sorry.

With the amount of methadone you are taking, I would slowly titrate down with your dose. Get and stay comfortable on each drop, then lower your dose again. If it becomes to unbearable, you might think about using Suboxone. If you take it nice and slow, and adjust to each dose, you should be alright. You are going to experience some discomfort either way. Steve

Hey Gettingthere,

I’m pretty sure all addicts are master secret keepers and amazing liars. We’re also master manipulators. Those are symptoms of our sickness. It doesn’t mean we’re bad people, we were sick. Try not to get down on yourself, it’s absolutely counterproductive to do so.

I hope you find the support you’re looking for. An addict alone is in bad company.

In MOST states all workers are considered "employees at will" which means YES they can refuse to hire you and YES they can fire you for being on sub, legally or not. The only thing employers cannot fire you for is stuff that would be considered discriminating. It depends on their take on suboxone, If they consider it "under the influence" or not and alot of other things. In alot of places (you can even read stories in the forum here) if the police pull you over and find anything to do with sub, whether you have it legally or not they will charge and arrest you for a DUI. I know its ridiculous but its unfortunately the sh*t we have to go through. Im not sure what test the gov’t will use but im assuming a good one since it’s the gov’t and all. I just wanted to tell you whether they could refuse to hire you and/or fire you if they know about you using sub ’cause that I do know about. All depends on how they view its use. Good luck though and I wish you the best. Keep us posted on how you’re doing and also about the job

Hey everyone, so it took a while for me to find the strength to post this. After a successful 6 weeks on subs, I sadly relapsed, really bad. As in sold everything, drained my bank account, borrowed, lied, the whole nine yards. I tried so hard to get back on the subbies but kept taking them too early and having precipitated withdrawals. Today i came clean w the family and of course they knew all along. They were just waiting for me to come clean…anyways i have a few valium, some clonodine and a fresh refill on my subs. I plan on waiting a full 36 hours because i tried waiting 18 n it was not enough. I really am committed to this. I want the life i had a month ago back. This last month has been absolute hell. I was so much happier on subs and regret so much my mistake. Well there it is i got it off my chest and hopefully tomorrow i can check in after a smooth induction.

Thanks ex –

After reading that, I acnowledge I’ve had a better experience than many. Apart from the psychiatrist who didn’t want to admit to making at mistake with the NMS, I have been overall happy with my treatment.

The only problem I have with my current doctor is he doesn’t want to admit the lithium plays a role in my verbal memory issues. It can be really embarrassing to bump into someone you’ve known for 5 years and are good friends with, and struggle to remember their name. People really get offended. I even forgot his secretary and wife’s name when I called her the other day even though I’ve seen her regularly for 6 years. I know the problems are completely reversible when I drop my lithium, because occasionally I do it before a social event or an exam or something that requires me remembering names of people / places / things.

It’s just frustrating.
