Anyone try NUVIGIL while detoxing?

Hey Tonypaul,

Considering no one has answered this post of yours I’d say that this is a new one for us to hear. Nuvigil is a somewhat new drug isn’t it? I think it’s the one they advertise on TV for night shift workers to better adjust in the daytime. I’m just guessing here, all I did was Google it and that is what I came up with. And with that cost it has to be a new med or you’d get a generic version.

So I guess you are the one to tell us if it works. I can’t give an opinion on something I don’t know anything about. Sorry dude.

May I assume it doesn’t work very well?

Tonypaul,

For someone not feeling so hot you sure have one sense of humor. I got a good laugh at your story so I hope you post a lot more.

Was your shower a cold one? Shrinkage dude, shrinkage. Don’t fret, the groundhog may be hiding but he will return to full stature sometime later. I won’t go any further on that subject or we’ll need to move this post to the Freestyle section.

It is normal for your brain to want to go back onto the Suboxone. Stay the course and hold on. Many others have quit and I haven’t so I’ll leave it to them to tell their stories.

You’re doing great, just don’t give in to the temptation.

i’m just saying " if the law was giving bad info- from you. they can and will give it back ten time’s worse.
i’m so sorry you have to go through this crap with them, but try to keep your head up high and low with the law
and may be they will have some thought and change there behave’r.

This is definitely a great topic Wink

in my honest opinion, I think only when one obsesses aboout whatever drug, is it a problem.

lets say for instance, this person thinks it’s "okay" to smoke a blunt on ‘occasion’
so they’re rule of thumb becomes lets say,,,,,,,, monthly.
so, for the entire month, they think "I cant wait til (whatever day) to smoke"
two weeks prior they are like buying whatever they want to have on hand for munchies, you know, gettin primed up. LOL

I just think,,,, ANY time you obsess over something, its a problem. When it controls YOU,,,,,,,,, its a problem.

Im with glen bee.
ive never really been the person that can do ONE, of ANYTHING. LOL and suboxone is the first thing Ive EVER been able to take like Im soposed to, also. in the begining, I had to ‘make sure’ I guess, that there was no reward. LOL but I did figure it out, and things have been great since.

Ive asked my doctor if ‘weed’ was okay. He said he thinks so, if it wasn’t previously a problem, and if I ever do smoke some, to just talk to him about it, you know in case I get a u/a. Well, the day we talked about it, I was like HELL YA
buddy!!!!
I haven’t though. I dont know what it is??? I dont really have any interest I guess. I thought I did, but I think it would make me feel guilty. and I dont want that to happen. If there comes a time, where I WOULDN’T think I’d feel that way, I might just smoke a ‘j’ LOL
but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Alcohol,,,,,,,,,, the only time I ever took it to the extreme was in high school. when I guess I was ‘being cool’ LOL
BUT,,,,,,
as an adult, or since Ive turned 21, I haven’t really drank. The smell of alcohol, especially the ‘stale’ smell,
brings a FLOOD of old (bad) memories, and I just can’t handle it.
So, I guess that’s a good deterant.
I did drink one beer like the first month I was on suboxone,,,,,,,,,,,,, I was at my husband’s family reunion….. and everyone was either smoking weed, drinking, or snorting something. I felt so outta place, and fragile. So I had a beer cuz I thought it would ‘take the edge off’
well…….I was in for a shock!! for me, it didn’t seem to ‘mix well’
my face felt hot, and I didnt ‘feel’ anything from the beer expect not great Wink haven’t tried since.

there’s my two cents………….

I think all of us ARE different. we all came from different places, and had different ‘careers’ with drugs.
so,,, if you can have a beer or two or smoke a j and forget about it the next day, then great.

I mean, the odds are stacked against us,,,,,,,, we gotta do what keeps us sane!!!!!!!

Unconventional taper. Hear me out
