Hi there,
Decided to seek treatment about 3 weeks ago for my h habit. Dr who did my intake put me on 12mg of suboxone and slowly tapered me down the next week to 8mg then 6mg a few days later. Now I'm currently down to 1/3rd a strip for the next 2 days then down to 1/4th for the next 2 days then it's over with. I'm worried because every morning when I dose I immediately wake up with intense tearing, watery nose, yawning, anxiety, mild acheyness etc. My dr put me on what seems to be in my opinion a really quick taper which for nearly 2 years of active heroin addiction... but maybe it's better than getting hooked on the subs right? Are these w/ds im experiencing legit dope sickness from the h still lmao or are these from the subs?? I'm scared once I'm out im gonna be in full blown w/d misery and it will lead me back to scoring more dope. Ive been trying to get in touch with a dr out here in Ohio to get on the vivatrol shot asap but no one has returned my messages so im pissed. My boyfriend and i have roughly the same amount of clean time from oxys and h i have 23 he has 21 cept hes doing it the kratom way then weaning off to start on the vivatrol oral tablets to see how his body reacts to the shot. I did kratom when we were desperate for dope but I couldn't stomach it so luckily i got the subs. Mr dr also perscribed me gabapentin and clonidine to help. They have been a god send honestly. Man no one tells you its gonna be this hard. Luckily we are attending NA meetings as often as possible and both looking for jobs. Im thankful to be off the shit but I know I can easily go back in the blink of an eye. I still miss it like crazy. If anyone has some insight or would like to share their own personal experiences I'm all ears. ? thank you!! ??
