Does your list of drugs include Nicotine or Caffeine?
I’m an addict. Can I still use Nicotine or Caffeine and be considered clean by your standards? Please let me know ASAP. If you say that I can’t use Nicotine or Caffeine and be clean, then I’m gonna quit smoking and drinking coffee because I want so much to measure up to your standard of being clean.

Well I finally getting used to these films and have my dose down to 6mg a day. 4 in a.m. then 2 at night. This seems to keep me level all day-24hours. It still doesnt feel as strong as the tablets for me and not too happy my dose trippled as result of switching to sub films. Everyone has diff experience with these but I cant see staying on films for long period. If I had to would make it work but going to try switching to subutex tablets. Hopefully its no big deal with insurance. I really dont think it should be. Subutex is the same amount of bup and costs almost half the price of suboxone due to the generic manufacturing of it. We’ll see how it goes but that only other bup my ins covers. Seems if your ins approved 8 mg if suboxone already switching to subutex should be no problem. They going to save alot of money and drugs are almost the same minus that nasty naloxone that suboxone has.

Hello,
I think it’s good advice to try a lower dose and see how that feels. A lot of patients seem to find "less is more" with suboxone. It has a unique effect that after a certain amount, more doesn’t do anything. When you take 24mg a day, your tolerance is also pushed very high! Suboxone has a very long half life but any pain relieving properties occur in the first 6-8 hours. I would bet that if you work your way down to a lower dose 3x per day you might feel much better. Plus any side effects should lessen at lower levels.

I just wanted to say that this experience by far has not been the norm. Most people switched from the tablets to film report that the films are a bit stronger.

Lilly Lilly Lilly!
That sounds great. I’m happy you’re at the point of wanting to be FREE of this SHIT.
Put yourself first, enjoy the vacation from family and get ready for that libido to skyrocket in flight.
( Only thing I’d have to say about it being inpatient and you not having to deal with kids and family ( Stay Active ! ) you know first hand how atrocious it can be when you just sit around. )
Best of luck Lilly! You’ve been their constantly for me, I’ll do the same for you!
Prayers, love and puppy dogs.

I concur on with the juicy!
Southjax congratulations on 90 days buddy!
Even more congratulations on saying no to the opana. That’s a difficult situation to be in. I remember my first time jumping off R’s and I had friends that kept using.
I did pretty well for the first… 3 times seeing them. Seeing them nodding and knowing what theyre feeling is hard for us. Now I’m starting to get into situations where my non drug friends from before, are asking me where to get percs and R’s. I just respond with a massive WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING FRIEND.
Keep it up buddy, were reppin’ jacksonville getting clean. Just don’t drive to the west-side.
