Hello from California!
So I’ve just admitted to my girl and myself that I have an opiate problem. Took my last norco on Saturday 9/21. Same dopesick problems everyone already knows about. I’ve been doing pretty good and feeling pretty well with what the doc gave me (clonidine .1mg every 8 hours, Librium 25mg every 6-8 hours, and also some lomotil for the diarrhea- I’m laughing typing that). Anyway, my habit was as follows....up to 40 10/325 norcos daily and also morphine sulfate 30mg pills about 30ish a day (although not together with the norco- always one of not the other). Not sure if that’s a big habit or not. Doesn’t really matter I suppose. I checked myself into the addiction clinic and had my dr appt (primary care doc gave me initial meds). So it was explained to me that I have choices for treatment and I would LOVE some advice. I don’t think I qualify for methadone (don’t really wanna go that route anyway) but that was option #1. Option #2 was suboxone, option #3 was (I KNOW I’m not gonna get the name correct) naxoprene? Naxalone? I can’t remember. It began with an N though. So after reading my long ass post (thanks by the way), does anyone thing suboxone is the best course? I would love some insight on this.
Thanks for reading and I sincerely thank you for your replies.
