Low Codeine Addict and Suboxone

[opi8]

Reducing is a hard thing to do, I'm glad to hear that you're managing at present.

I would be very careful not to burn any bridges with a doctor who may be the only addiction specialist in your area? I have no idea about your circumstances, but it's generally safer to keep options open anyway.

Keep up the taper, you can do it yourself and you'll be better off for it.

Well they are real pissed off at me now. I'm supposed to go see them once a week but I am a contractor and have been called to do a lot of jobs these last 2 weeks so I've been unable to get in a session. They are threatening to cut me off because of this which I don't really care anymore as work is more important to me than sitting in a room with a Doctor who keeps trying to push Methadone/Suboxone down my throat.

I've tapered down to 120mg now.

Do you feel a high any more? I think you're doing a great job - fuck what that doctor is saying. I wouldn't even bother with him. Losing a few dollars is better than losing your self-respect to that group.

Nah I make sure I space it out so I don't feel it anymore. If I were to take 75mg in 1 go I would get really high. Working means a lot to me, not just for money but to be kept busy and if the CADS Doctor thinks I should put work off just to see him 1 hour per week then I might as well keep going how I am with my own taper and leave them. They honestly have been no help to me whats so ever. Trying to push me on a substitute, telling me all addicts are horrible people who will steal from family and friends. Saying I will end up on the streets selling my body for drugs, it's all BS and I can see it. This Doctor has a very closed mind/narrow view and I can't believe he is even an addiction specialist.
