For the last three months the films I have received are cracked or completed fall to pieces when I try to take them from the package. If you hold them to the light, crazing is visible and you can see that some parts are thinner than others. Any one else have this issue? What can I do? The Pharmacist says there is nothing he an do. HELP

I have the same issue and have had zero satisfaction from the pharmacy. It has been going on for months and it is getting worse. Who will help us. Sometimes they are in tiny worthless pieces.

I am becoming more and more overly sensitive to temperature change. Taking a shower is frightful! I just become so pensive about going in and out especially when it is cold out. If I am working outside and it is cold, I can hardly stand the temperature change when I go back into a warm house. As race car driver, it can get up 140 degrees inside the car for extended periods. Then I come out after a race and I will feel as if I am becoming hypothermic even if it is 80 degrees. It is a tough situation.

Thanks Dana. That’s what I thought was going on with that now.

That’s so good that you feel good and have energy. You know I’M no expert, but if the doc said you would probably only need dosing twice a day that is what I would do….And of course go by how you feel. If I dosed in the morning I would take my second dose in the evening. Don’t wait until you feel yucky! I’m only dosing once a day and I feel like I should be going for a second dose, but I can’t get into the pharmacy during the day(I have to dose in front of pharmacist for the first 2 months). I bet you’ll be fine at 4mg twice a day.

Hello everyone, not sure if I posted in the appropriate spot, I use my phone as my computer. I need to formally introduce myself, I am Dana, have been on buprenorphine for 2 plus years. Same story as alot of others, started using vicodin recreationally. When my life took some uncontrollable twists and turns, started to abuse and ended up in a methadone clinic. I’m happy to see such a forum, you all seem to really care about and help each other. I will be (hopefully) looking forward to chatting with some of you soon!

If I were in your shoes I would definitely want to fail for suboxone, not Junk. Suboxone is a medication to treat your disease, you go to a licensed doctor and get a valid prescription with your name on it, if that’s not trying to better your life I don’t know what is

Testosterone?
It is possible, but I’d suggest telling your GP and asking to get a set of bloods done, maybe with testosterone levels in there. Sure you’ll be able to tell if your testosterone has been affected by your libido, so this MAY be an indicator of the source of the problem.
It’s interesting how buprenorphine can have a big impact on testosterone levels, which is associated with fatigue, mood swings, blunted libido, fibromyalgia… Yet they’re starting to prescribe buprenorphine for depression? Sometimes the world doesn’t make sense to me

I’m don’t doubt you’re right, and the barbs did help you detox.
But WalterE’s post gives the impression that he just reduced his valium dependence by adding barbs to the mix. He didn’t mention tapering off phenobarbitol at all. Maybe he needs to clarify, but I took from his post that he was still taking phenobarbitol. If he was using the barbs to reduce his valium, then surely he would he talked about how he reduced his barb intake?
Also, phenobarbitol is not a benzodiazepine. I knew a few ‘older’ people in the rooms of NA who were hooked on barbiturates. And they said out of all the drugs they did in their addiction career, the barbs were the ones that left the most damage upstairs.
If a doctor prescribes barbiturates to help a patient detox, then awesome. But given it’s rare for doctors to prescribe medications that are suggested by their addicted patients, even if the patient read it on the internet. Some people may read that post and seek phenobarbitol illegally. And they need to know that it’s a potentially harmful medication with big risk of dependence before they make any decisions.
