Seems to me like this thread would be better placed in the induction section so those starting out will know that suboxone, by itself, is not the answer.

very nice post rule, i stopped off of norco once for 5 months and once for 9 months so it can be done. sometimes i think suboxone is just masking the problem without the euphoria. other than no euphoria the feeling was the same for me at least there wasn’t any tylenol in it to kill my liver. as this becomes more popular i see the debate about the pros and cons getting more heated. in some situations it is needed in others not so much but it sucks that alot of doctors that no nothing about addiction decide our fate.

Hey Barelyboxed and Rule62!

hahaha! When I saw the "moderator" tab, I thought….uh oh! I did something wrong!lol! Thank ya’ll so much for the welcome! And more than that, thank ya’ll for any and all advice! I reckon it sounds kinda crazy, I’ve done such a good job with tapering in the past…heck I didn’t give it much thought. But the step down from 4mg to 2mg has put me in a tail-spin! And I was the one that told my doc I was ready. Also, I had been on the pills for 5 years and that was the first month of using strips…I just have not put the effort into it like I should so as of this past Friday, I am strictly taking no more than 2mg a day. Once stable at that, I plan to drop 1/2mg.

Being sick for 4-5 days before my next appt. is no longer an option. This last time I did that, I was going to buy some sub off the street, couldn’t stand being sick. But I came here first and started reading and I realized that buying subs would be a huge slap in the face to all "pro-sub" people. Depression and guilt has been setting in, but since coming to this site I realize that I have to give myself that extra push, other people have done it and some are doing it as we speak.

PLUS…..I hate taking Immodium!!

Well, made it past the 48 hour mark and feeling pretty good…I’m cutting the 8’s in half and taking them every 4 hours or so. That’s the amount that the Doc told me to take, 16 mg’s per day, so it seems to be doing the job, thankfully. Good thing as I have an important meeting with one of my customers tomorrow and for the first time in a looooong time, I will be able to attend the meeting without having to shoot up prior!! It’s amazing how much different everything looks and feels when I stop using dope. The sky is blue, the clouds are white, the pine trees in my back yard are soooo green…it’s pretty cool to see and feel again!! I acutally have been sneezing for the first time in months. Amazing…Anyway, I thought that I would update you guys and again, I appreciate all of your posts for the "newbie"!!
