Hi Thumper,
The situation you’re in is a tough one. When I went on to Suboxone I gave up a habit of 16-20 Norco’s, 12-16 Tramadols, and 8-10 Soma’s. They gave me 3 of the 8/2 mg pills. I felt really weird, not bad, not good, just weird. Same as Sublaura, I went home and threw up. Waaaaaay too much Sub.
So take Sublaura’s advice and only take maybe a half a film, 4 mg’s. You can always increase it but wait at least an hour for the full effect.
But to tell the truth, in my opinion, Suboxone used to come off of a Tramadol habit is just not right. Your doctor should taper you down from it w/o the Suboxone. I know you want to skip the withdrawals but all you’re doing is moving them down the road a bit. It may or may not be the best way for you to recover. Maybe see another Dr.? My withdrawals were really not that bad. Yes, I had the anxiety and what I call the crazy brain, but it only lasted about 2-3 days and then I was fine.
Let’s see what the others think.
