I'm prescribed 40mg per day. no joke.
My doctor is actually pretty knowledgeable about drugs too so it's kind of surprising. Obviously I don't take that much. I'm fine taking 2-8mg per day.
Whoever said that stupid and you doctor knows nothing is sorta wrong sort of right.
My doctor is an arrogrant bastard and pretty much calls himself the self-proclaimed Buprenorphine king.
He had a cocktail it was as followed. IM bupe shot, clonidine, vistiral, bentyl, and low dose ativan. He would start them out in the hosptial for a couple days, and actually prescribe all this stuff on the out including the IM bupe, that he would teach addicts how to inject if they did not know how already.
Doctors from around the country would send there addicts to him in flocks because they thought he was the curer of opiate addiction, and because of this I think he took on a god complex. I actually think when the pill suboxone came out he became depressed because his title "opiate addictionolgist" was not as great as it was before because everyone knew his secret and he became less of a genius.
I told you guys the story of what he did to me before. I actually went into the hospital for problems unrelated problems to addiction and at the time was on methadone, and thought i would get my continued care of opiate treatment. Although I had a headache the week before and took a drug called ferernol and also had the drug xanax in me which he has complete disdain for. Xanax and barbs are his two most looked down addictions probablly because he does not have a weapon to beat them down like opiate (although he loves valium for some reason). So, being on drugs he did not approve of and me signing a waiver, and being at the hospital where he had control, he became a big dick and took matter in his on his own hands to flush me from the opiates, and rip me off the xanax. I kept on asking for my methadone, and the nurse came around with a shot she said I could have for pain which she never told me the name, I refused it 3 times until I saw the doctor. The doctor came around and I said I wanted my methhadone, I take 40-60mg on the outs, he goes well I ordered you a pain shot. I go methadone does not come in a shot, then he goes well this stuff is pound for pound more potent the morphine you will like it. That caught my attention so I asked him what its called and he told me nothing except the use it in europe, well I thought they use herion in europe hospital what the hay, and ended up getting too tired to fight for my methadone and took the shot. Well let me tell you he gave me the shot., waited two seconds asked me how I felt "i said oK" then my eyes felt like there were about to bust out of my sockets and shoot blood in every direction. At this time he swiftly left, and went on to his other patients. I found out a second later, i was not on a regular floor I was on his special floor for addicts that he shared with another doctor who treated seizures.
It was the BUPRENORPHINE floor nurses there were old, knew little about bupe although they been using it for years, and knew how to keep quiet and deal with addicts.
After those two seconds, when the third one HIT it was 1, 2, BOOM.. I flew into the most massive withdrawal in the world (maybe exagerating please dont use this against me) I am not lying I instanly became a whimpering animal crying help help like a little baby. My mom witness me metamorphise in a matter of second, she and my nurse who was brand new thought i was having a psychotic break down. The nurse went to go grab morphine which I screamed No, No, No, because I thought they were going to torture me with another shot of bupe at that time I had no idea it was bupe. My mom went running to get my doctor and she asked him what to and he told her "leave, he will be fine tommorow" and she goes no you don't understand he is really bad which i was I thought I was dying. Then he offered to give me a cocktail to send me into sleepy land and then just left.
The next day I slowly got better, and the same nurse was like WOW..what was wrong with you the other day, and she told me what they were giving me and I GO THAT IS WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME. She was like everyone up here get it and seems to like it. Then I told her how it threw me into withdrawal, and she was funny but satanic, she told me she was sick of all the people comming in for diluadid and morphine shot, she called them frequent flyers (addicts). She told me after witnessing what I went threw she was going to sprinkle bupe in there shots so they would never come back and thus free them of there addiction..lol
I confronted the doctor three days later. I go I can't fucking believe you threw me into preticipated withdrawal. Then I felt like I assulted god, and he yells back you know nothing and stop reading crap off the internet. I know what im doing and with you I needed to rip the band aid off fast.
And my mom was there and actually stuck up for him and priased him for getting me off the stuff so quick " by ripping my band aid off fast"
Then I got pissed off at my mom because she get oxycotin 80mg, and thre roxy 30mg a day from him. I told her I was going to rip her band aid off fast and when I get home sprinkle some bupe into her coffee. I sware for a whole month she hid her coffee mug on me or put a lid on the top.lol
This is a true story, and thank JC for deleting that I was lying and all the other bad post about me. I am nutty in other way but deff not a liar.
Back to the subject. He started me off on 32 mg of suboxone. And comming off methadone, the suboxone did nothing for me, even continuios bupe shot IV'd in my viens did nothing for me.
I asked him what would happen if I got in more pian and the 32mg was not cutting, he then goes to tell me he would put me on 40mg and that he has more than one patient on this dose. I said what if 40mg don't work he said then he would try 48mg if the insurance company let.
Then I tried to explain to him that the ceiling dose is 32 mg, so putting his patient on 40mg is irrational, and then he tells me he noticed first hand proof of patients benefting from 40mg, and I then told him by what I read less is more and if you put me on 48 ait would be not different than 32mg. He barely looses his cool but it was like he reverted back to the day in the hospital and told me to shut up and stop reading the god damn internet.
I shut up because obviously this guy has it in his mind he is the bupe god, and I did not wan't to insult the bupe god and cut off my supply. Speically when he was giving me valium, and my beleoved lyrica..oh yeah doctors seem to have a hard on for that stuff too..lol

I started with a few mg a day and 4 days later I'm at 16mg feeling barely sedated.
