Hiya,

I don’t know if this is the right place to put this but I’ve been on suboxone 8mg for 2 months n 8 days after having a huge codeine addiction of 700-800 mg daily.
My key worker asked me how would I feel if In a month I reduced to 6 mg. WHAT!!???? Nooiooooo! I’m really not ready yet but know I’ll say yes to please her as I always try to please every one.
What will happen to me? Will I go through withdrawals n for how long?
I could deal with codeine withdrawal as I felt extremely depressed n suicidal n the grief was unreal. I never want to go through that again. Ever.
So can someone give me advice here. Please no lecturing or judgements. I’ve had that already n it just makes me defensive.
Thanks

it doesnt matter if you drop .00001mg or 100mg, if you’re not mentally ready for it, it’ll make all the difference (personally, i wouldn’t if you’re not ready. when you’re mentally ready it is MUCH easier). personally, i was prescribed 8mg, but took 16 because i have no self control, and then would freak out when i got down to 4 strips and cut them up as small as 2mg. for ME (everyone’s different) it was all mental. i had NO WD going from 12 days of 16mg down to 4 or 2. just mental issues, like i would THINK i need more, but i still had so much loaded in my system i slept nearly all day. 6mg of subs would still destroy 800mg of codeine i think(we’re talking like tylenol 3 codeine and not coDONE like oxycodone right?) i had a gram+ day habit of H, straight from mexico (sinaloa guys supposedly. i never did the dirty work :p) and when i checked into rehab 4mg was plenty to keep me good, but i wanted a higher dose just because of the addict in me.

if you REALLY don’t even want to go there just tell the doc you’re not ready, and if you can push it back a month. most sub docs are usually kind of enablers anyway i’ve found out, but push it back, and try it on your own. take 6mg. one day or a couple days. i’m betting you won’t feel a difference physically.
