yea I was on 4mg, then I found a dope connect and went on abit on a binge. Parents found out when they saw the tracks they told the suboxone doc and want me take 16mg a day. I mean should I make a fuss about it? It is a high dose. But 16mg does help with cravings. Iduno My parents think I should quit opiates when they force me, but they will never learn you dont quit until you wanna quit
I hate having a father who is a psychiatrist... he thinks medication can fix everything.
lol.. 16mg Suboxone is not a REALLY high dosage. I am on the same dose as you. If you are coming off a big opiate habit and you start at 2mg/suboxone - that is FUCK ALL and won't even touch your withdrawals.
I have been on 16mg/day for awhile now, and been clean 68 days from opiates. Although I'm still on benzo's, my addiction doc is tapering me off of Clonazepam, right now I'm on 1.5mg BID for Clonazepam, lowers it about every 30 days by 0.25mg. I've tapered too fast off benzodiazepines before, with valium which is fucking stupid. Because if you have a high tolerance to benzodiazepines, Valium is not a good benzo to taper with, since it is so weak, it may have a long half life, but its actual "effect" only lasts 1-2hrs. Clonazepam has a long half life as well, and the good thing about it is that, its actual "effect" lasts more like 1-4hrs.
Anyway, you guys are lucky down south, because up in Canada here we have to pickup our Suboxone dose daily. They don't write scripts and just hand them out to you up here, you have to earn privledges, by remaining clean with good urine test results. Once I get some carries, I might try an Oxy again, just for the hell of up, because I can always just go right back on the Sub. At 16mg/day I still have cravings, but not severe cravings. I'm also depressed, but I've been depressed ever since I was 16 years old, so it has nothing to do with the Suboxone.
Anyways, damn I wish I lived in the U.S. sometimes, I just don't like the way the law enforcement is down there. Other than that, the U.S. blows Canada out of the fucking water (especially if you live in the praries in Canada). Weather wise, most of you in the US are so damn lucky compared to us Canadians. I'm jealous
