Hello all! I'm a new member here as of today. I guess I'm looking at it as a huge jump in a way as I'm ready for some changes in my life.

I don't want to write a novel here as my first intro (You'll be hearing enough from me once I learn to properly navigate this site), so I'll keep it short.

I've been an opiate addict for roughly 10 years on and off, and thankfully I've always had a fear of heroin, otherwise I'd probably not be here writing this intro. I've been on suboxone for 5 years now starting at 16/4 down to 8/2 and I'm looking to taper down more. Tapering from the 16 down was very hard but now I'm stable and ready to go through all that entails when dropping down during the process but I feel I'm ready.

The worst part is I'm on alprazolam as well. 1 milligram 2x a day as needed (as in needed every day). I'm going to need some help going through this I'm scared as all get out, but I just want out of it all.

Well that's about it for now, I look forward to being here during my journey. I've lurked here for some time and I'm amazed at the strength and intelligence in this community.

Thank you!
 
I can't stop obsessing on the fear of my doctor just stopping my medications. My first Sub doc got in trouble and left us all with no plan or back up Doctor. Next Doctor decided I was ready to quit subs although I wasn't and she was going way too quickly for me.

I'm now with a psychiatrist but it's an every 2 week visit becoming way too costly. Besides now there seems to be new laws with doctors prescribing suboxone?

I know about the dangers of taking suboxone and a benzo but I've been on these meds for way too long and I can't stop both at the same time so I told my doctor that I'll start to taper off the suboxone.

I'm having so much anxiety over this, but I'm also tired of worrying about so much to do with these medications.

I'm just afr
 
Hey mamz, welcome to Bluelight :)

Sounds like you're in a tough situation atm :(

Why don't you head on over to Sober Living to discuss your options and what you might try to do to cope? If you need to let off some steam about your situation, you might also want to try The Dark Side.

Hope to see you around, and hope you find the support you need here at Bluelight :)

Take care,
CFC
