I love that suboxone has really helped with my back pain and eliminated the cravings I had while on oxy. Butt I gotta say, I HATE the whole process involved with taking a dose. I take 4mg three times a day. Have to split it up for the most pain relief. I keep the ‘subliva’ in for at least 30 minutes usually. My first dose isn’t too bad. My mouth is dry when I first get up so there’s not too much saliva to try and hold in while getting ready for work. My second dose I take on my lunch break, which is a half hour. So I have to spend my whole lunch time with sub in my mouth. Can’t eat, can’t smoke. Sucks. Feels like a waste of a lunch break. My third dose I take at home, but it seems like my husband always has a question for me, the phone rings, one of the cats does something bad (I swear they know when I can’t yell at them) I can’t even imagine having kids to deal with during that time. I just wish there was a better, quicker way to take this med. I spend close to two hours everyday with sub in my mouth! And then there’s the 30 minutes before and after dosing that you’re not supposed to eat, drink, or smoke. It really is a pain. It’s worth it, of course, but it really would be nice if it wasn’t so time consuming.
