Started on 2mg/day of suboxone. Worked great even tho doc pushed me to do more it made me feel amazing and I stayed there. Was the first time in a long time I started to feel NORMAL and began to live my life.
After 2 weeks I started slipping into withdrawal and old using habits without even really noticing (ie. Hard to get out of bed, wanting to leave work early, sitting in baths after work for hours, counting down until the pharmacy opens to get my dose). It was only until I thought I may be feeling down and requested a higher dose that I realized just HOW bad I had been feeling.
I upped to 4mg/day and have been feeling good since (4 weeks'ish). The day the dose was upped I felt amazing again, no more dragging, so much energy and enthusiasm that I was lacking and barely even realizing.
In the last week the same symptoms are creeping back on. Sleep is disturbed every night, IMPOSSIBLE to get out of bed in the morning, it literally takes me an hour to get up and another 10 minutes to go from the fridge to getting into the shower with half an energy drink in me after sitting on the toilet and mentally preparing to stand up. Also feeling some RLS around 5am while I lay in bed unable to sleep.
I am going to request my dose be upped again to 6mg or maybe 5mg but will this eventually level out? I can't just keep going up forever can I?
Anybody else have similar experiences to this?
