Pain Meds With Suboxone - Advice Greatly Appreciated

[Smoothie123]

Hey All,

This is my first post. I am in excruciating pain 24 hours a day. I can't sleep, can barley eat, etc. Not exaggerating. I've been on 8mg/day Suboxone maintenance for a year. I have a script to 2mg dilaudeds. I am not looking to get high. I never want to go back to that nightmare. However. I desperately need some pain relief.

I stopped the Subs so I could take the dillies for pain. It's been 36 hours since my last sub and I'm already feeling withdrawal - nothing crazy yet, but uncomfortable. Sweating, nauseous, anxiety, etc.

Do you think I could take the dillies now for pain? Would they work yet? And how many 2mg dillies would you take if you were in my shoes.

Again, not wanting to get high, wanting relief.

Appreciate any input. Thanks so much.




for an injury.

I believe 36 hours is the safe point to avoid precipitated withdrawals. I would just try the 2mg and see if you get the relief you need. If not then maybe imcreas to 3 or 4mg and see if that helps. Just try to use as little as possible to get the relief you need.
