My merciful doctor finally gave me Suboxone. I just filled my script for 8mg pills. When I first went in this morning they said my withdrawals weren't strong enough and to come back later in the afternoon. I was afraid if they didn't prescribe them today I'd have to go to work tomorrow with withdrawals... so this time I exaggerated my symptoms a little more. For example said I was nauseous and stuff. My actual symptoms are sweating and just a general feeling of weakness and shittiness. My last dose of Oxycodone was at 8pm yesterday, but I did take twice as large of a dose as sort of a farewell ritual...
Another thing to keep in mind is that my withdrawals don't seem to follow all of the symptoms on the COWs scale, at least not until like the 4th day. For example the last time I had withdrawals the first 3 days were just that shitty feeling and being unable to sleep, and it wasn't until the 4th day that I had diarrhea and nausea. But in my opinion I was suffering just as much the first 3 days, so just because I'm not having all the possible symptoms doesn't mean I'm not withdrawing at all.
That being said, do you think it's safe for me to start my Suboxone now? It's almost been 24 hours. Also, the doctor gave me an 8mg pill, but I was only on about 40mg of Oxy a day. Is it necessary to take the whole pill or should I cut it in half? I'm not gonna lie, my doctor doesn't seem to know what he's talking about on this drug.. :/ Is it even possible to cut the pill in half? It says its sublingual. I just want to make sure it effectively stops my withdrawals instead of precipitating them.
