I had surgery last monday. I was addicted to opiates for like over 8 years and have been clean for going on 5 years. I was extremely nervous about what I was going to do about managing my pain. I spoke to a few BLR's and got some advice and then spoke to my Pain Management Doctor. She assured me that they plan we came up with would work and that I should not worry. She put me on Suboxone 2 mg/0.5 mg wrote the script as 1 tablet 3 times a day. I got 50 tablets. I never did that doesage, it was way too much for me. So, last night I decided that my pain was not bad enought to need the suboxone anymore. I counted my tabs. I was given 50 and I have 32 left. YAY me. I actually took an extra week off from work to go through withrawls. No withdrawls, no nothing. So, I might have a week to actually go have fun.

I feel great knowing that I have the strength to handle this medication if anything happens that I need pain relief again. I will share with you what I looked like when I got out of surgery.

That's great -- the picture looks intense, but the story is good!! NO WD's is a good thing, too. <3
 
Yay I am so happy for you TINK!

I am so glad you only needed to go through 18 tablets, that's not a lot at all. I'm so happy that you also have some extras - you can hold onto these in case you have pain in the future.

It's awesome to hear things are going well for you because I know what it's like when it seems everything is not. :)

It's also so great to not have to feel withdrawals! I'm glad this was your experience with it, this is what I expected but it's sometimes hard to know what'll exactly happen until you get there.

Good luck recovering from your op, and major congrats :) <3
