My doctor seems to be ok with keeping me on Suboxone, though I haven’t discussed like, really long-term goals with him. I plan on staying where I am with Suboxone, indefinitely, as long as my health doesn’t falter or other issues arise that cause me to not be able to, like finances or problems that I can’t see down the road. I’m content with life, and the pain that I still have while on Suboxone is manageable. I get some pretty serious headaches from time to time, but those are usually a sign that I need a nap…and I never take anything — and I mean ANYTHING — except for my medicine. I don’t take Tylenol, Ibuprofen, nothing. The occasional antibiotic…but that’s it. Compared to life where I was with addiction, and taking anything I could get, this is a joyride. I don’t get high, or feel that euphoria, and I don’t abuse my meds. In fact, I’m not taking what I’m prescribed in a daily dose, so I usually have extras or can go longer without getting my refills. I’m not backstocking, YET..but I plan to start putting back 15 or 20 of my suboxone per month, and build a bit of a stockpile..so if something happens, I’m not forced to suddenly stop or do without.
