Hi everyone, just wanted to say hi. I am a 34yr old male from Australia.

Quick history, Ive been addicted to codeine and poppy seed tea for the last 4 years. Ive dabbled with oxys from time to time but they are too hard to come by where i am.

Yesterday I started on the suboxone program. 4mg yesterday and woke up today feeling terrible. Went back to the doc this morning and he upped the dose to 6mg and said if I feel like another 2mg this afternoon he would give it to me. I had a terrible night sleep last night, actually it was just lying there freezing cold. So I think I may go back and get the extra 2mg so I may have a more comfortable night.

This is completely new to me and I feel really unsure as to whether I have made the right decision. The doc has assured me that when its time to come off the subs that the taper will be long and slow. But in my mind I am just really fearful that I will have to go through WD's.

Well thats me, hopefully I can share my progress here and seek the advice of some more experienced Bluelighters on this part of my journey.:)
 
Hi,
Welcome to Bluelight. I've taken subs for a while. Here is the Suboxone/Buprenorphine Mega Thread v. 19 for starters. Also, maybe check out the Recovery section below. Congratulations on switching over to subs. You can do a short use of the subs to mask the withdrawals or stay on them longer as you mention above, although yes -- you will experience a withdrawal from the subs if you stay on them long term.

It's a change for the better in my opinion though being on suboxone verses pills. :)
