Thanks SouthJax. That is what I will do. I am now about 3/4 days (forget when I actually started) consistent with .5 in am and .375 in evening.

For now I have not caved on the .375 so will plan on reducing the morning in about a week.

I know, I so need to not pay attentions to the withdrawal. I may need to just jump at some point and just get this all over with. For now..atleast I am doing good at .875 and hope to keep going.

Thanks for your suggestion.

YOU ARE A TROOPER!!

I look forward to your updates.. partly because they make me laugh and partly because I am hopeful that you make it through this crap! Um, have you not learned anything, kid? No mexican before noon (unless we’re talking about a breakfast burrito, those cannot be denied!!)

Ignore those dreams best you can. Hang in there.. keep posting!

I agree that doctors really need to reassess how high of a dose to start people on, especially folks with a moderate pill addiction. Even my doctor, who does think outside the box, started me on 16 mg for my 100mg to 140mg oxycodone habit. I think I could have easily started on 8mg to 12mg of sub. I do blame RB for influencing doctors to give maximum doses. I’m sure that their sense of altruism (if it exists) stops at the bottom line.

I’m not angry either. But doctors need to start listening better to their patients.

Yes they do i started at 2mgs a day and that made me sick of course my tolerance grew to almost 2 strips a day that was enough to get me high for a day. and yes i do blame rb too i assume about 70 or 80 percent of doctors give 3 a day to patients that only need 1 strip a day and all thats doing is getting people hooked on a high dose of subs. and then you have docs telling patients around here that subs aren’t addictive. i really think this is a problem
