Jeesh,,,,

I feel for ya…….

Only,, I went from over 150mg a day, of methadone, down to about 60mg of methadone, in 7 days,
took some oxys the day before induction day,
And, well let’s just say, it was NO PICNIC

it’s definitely "normal" to have a rough ride, transitioning from methadone to suboxone….

I CAN tell you some GOOD NEWS……
this IS GOOD news, remember!!!!

You will feel better, within TWO WEEKS or so,,,,, at least I DID….
I felt a lil better every day, AFTER THE FIFTH DAY
so youre still in "hell zone"
if you ask me……
and it MAY even get a LITTLE worse,,,, for the next 48 hours, but it SHOULD PEAK around there,
and you know, you may even be AT THE WORST OF IT,
now, since you were taking LESS than I was, HOPEFULLY you are at the worst of it….

My fingers are crossed for you…..
have you taken any lopremide? (immodium) that’ll help a LITTLE bit, should give you SOME RELIEF,,,,
my doctor also gave me a muscle relaxer,so I could sleep at night,
I had the whole RLS thing, and everything,,,,

here’s an old post, you might read thru, I know the guy kinda rambled ON and ON
but it does kinda at least show a TIMELINE of when you SHOULD be feeling better…..
