Yeah. I second the dosage thing. If they put you on a dose which is higher than your current tolerance, it is just ensuring more downregulation of your opioid receptors and the likelyhood that you will struggle with opioids for life. I demanded to be kept at a dose that didn't fully hold me and the transition was uncomfortable at the start but will be well worth it in regards to my future as it will be easier to come off. This way it holds you, forms the blockade but also doesn't get you high and allows you to feel emotions to the fullest extent. It doesn't pacify mental health issues or numb you so you can actually face recovery head on with support from suboxone. In this way it also allows you to produce hormones such as testosterone which wouldn't happen on methadone or other full agonists. Having your sex drive back will help with finding fulfillment in life. I can go on and on but this is definitely important to address.
