Agreed on pretty much everything. And yeah, they don't even allow over 24mg of Suboxone here, you can't be at 32mg. Even 24mg is stupid, I never felt the need in my worst days to take more than 16mg, and my script after those 2 inductions days, when I left the second time after a safe 4mg induction of the thing, with a script for 12mg.
It took me 2 years to go from 12 to 10mg and then 4 years of 8mg one day, 10mg another, since we don't have strips here, only pills, no 1mg reductions possible.then another year of 8mg 5 days a week, 10mg twice a week. Whenn I got to 8mg once a day all the time, it was easy thanks to a big amount of clonazolam blotter to reduce to 4mg in 6 months, 6 months at 2mg (this period of time is when i wasn't around here...it was hard as fuck but I was determined). Then the pharmacy started cutting my 2mg tablets in half so I would get 1mg doses a day, I don't know why they would not do this...I guess the pharmacists are mad that Bunavail was rejected by Health Canada, we're in dire need of other formulations, Zubsolv would be optimal and easier to get off from. With Bunavail 1mg doses would have existed. Anyway, spent 2 months on 1mg, then 2 weeks of pure hell taking nothing, the last 4 days I had to be in there as an inpatient, they fed me a bunch of Mirapax for the insane RLS and started giving me 5mg Oxy IR twice a day, then gave me Oxy IR 10mg twice a day then I met the Pain Doc that I was going to be transferred to, referred to by my ORT doc, I never was considered a junkie or drug-seeking since I had legit pain issues that led me to buying opiate painkillers from retired construction workers, who are so broken physically they are retired and are given all they want around here. Left with a generic Oxycontin 60mg script after 6 days in the inpatient facility of my ORT clinic, lol.
Dear god I'm glad that bupe bullshit is over, that thing that could be causing permanent damage to opiate receptors.....well it seems that way when you get off even off 1mg daily, but I'm good now with 120mg generic oxys that I could chew like the old brand name ones, but I don't. Well I don't, often. Still have to go every month to the pain clinic to meet with the doctor and have urine tests for a good while. I've proven myself to the ORT clinic at the hospital, I hope that part will be quicker at the pain clinic in the same hospital because of that.
