I think most of you are aware of my journey but here is a quick run down. Got hooked on Lortab/ Perocet that was started due to pain, but since I thought I had discovered a magic pill that gave me the motivation and energy I liked I quickly raised by dose and ended up admiting to my doc that I needed help. So on to detox, seven lovely days. The day before I left the psych doc gave me the sub and told me it would help, no worries you can stop with no prob. Now that was 9 years ago, ended up in pain management and his solution was to increase me to 32mg.

So to get to the point I jumped from 2mg December 11th. I made it forty days, fell apart and am going back on the lowest possibe dose that will allow me to function.

I took my dose yesterday, ended up taking about 2.5mg, my physician advised me to take .5 wait a bit, take another .5, wait and repeat till I felt able to function. Now after the dose which was about 3pm, at about 5pm I began to have pretty intense itching which settled onto every part of my body. Took benadryl and was able to get maybe two hours of sleep. Now I am still itchy, really bad. I never had that happen with subs before, not sure why. Has anyone had a similar situation?
