Hi,

You are 20. You were taking hydrocodone. This is only my opinion, but I think suboxone is not for you. Tough it out for a week. You have every advantage going for you. Small habit, youth, ability to exercise, not a chronic pain patient, and desire to quit. Suboxone, in my opinion, is for more hardcore habits, like my nice 400-500 mg daily oxy habit for 5 years. I didn’t start taking opiates until my late 30’s. Just this morning before I read your post I was thinking about when I "should have" stopped. I, like you, was taking hydrocodones, maybe 30-50 mg a day, and the first time I ran out after about 30 days of use, I had trouble sleeping for a couple nights and that was it. The third day I felt normal. I’m telling you, if you continue with suboxone, your tolerance is going to shoot sky high and you may be in much deeper than you are now.

The usual disclaimer – I’m not a doctor and this is just my opinion. But I’d give anything to be where you are right now.

Take care
Jimmy
