Opioids doctor pain management questions - getting help and being labeled an addict

8mg of buprenorphine is easily equivalent to a over a hundred milligrams of hydrocodone in analgesic action (ceiling and inaccurate conversion at high doses withstanding) so it is no surprise you felt a little better.

Piebald I have been on hydros for two years. The max was 80mg/day. Im now taking about 40mg/day to keep away withdrawl.

Amapola I didn't take the 8mg at one time. I split it up over two weeks. I only had 1 pill.

I pretty much did this exact thing. I didn't want to be on my meds anymore, so I scheduled an appt. with a Dr. certified to dispense suboxone, stopped my meds a couple days before, went in, explained the situation thoroughly, and got a script, no problem.

The crazy old fucker still calls in refills once a month even though i don't take it anymore. It helped alot.
