If this post is in the wrobg area please move it. This is my first post so if I'm in the wrong area my bad. Ive been a huge fan of the site and have been coming here regularly for a really long time. anyway I know there is probably a thread about this somewhere I have found some but they where older threads. my question is I was in methadone for 2 years it saved my life, it pulled the needle out of my arm and my life started coming back together. I loved the methadone my dose didnt get me high I was at 100mg and ir was perfect. All the things I love about opiates the energy, the warm blanket, the great mood, hell I even like being constipated since I had bowel problems my whole life. So I moved to another state and here the nearest methadone clinic is just way to far and 5 dollars more a day then what I was paying so i found a suboxone doctor. After I went through hell I made the switch and went from 2mg to 4mg to 8mg to 12mg and now I'm at 16mg in just a month and a half. I keep going up in dose because I'm looking for relief! I'm at 16mg right now and no warm blanket feeling, still have the shits, I have no energy or desire it's awful. I remember taking 2mg subs back when I was shooting and I can remember feeling significant relief. I was curious to see if my dose was just to low I double dosed and had 32mg still nothing. I wanna go back to methadone but this suboxone program they have here only cost me $3 a visit which I go once or twice a month and the prescription is free! So it cost me 6 dollars a month to for my subs, doctor visit and 30min counseling you can't beat that (no insurance no nothing) especially when my methadone was 16 bucks a day... Am I at to low of a dose? Is there things I can take with it to help intensify the subs? Beside the obvious benzos alcohol ect. again ive only been on suboxone for a month and a half so will things get better as more time passes? Is my body just adjusting from having 2 years of methadone to having none? Is being on suboxone long term better than methadone lobg term? Am I looking for relief in suboxone that I'm never gunna get? I'm just telling myself give it time give it time. Anyone out there successfully made the switch have any insoght? Any answers on this would be greatly appreciated
