Hello,
My friend who is 34 years of age has been diagnosed with Chrones, Ulcerative Colitis, Lupis, and RA since 2010. Since then he has been on pain meds of different types. He then went and got on suboxone. Till 2015 when he had a horrible Chrones flair. At that time he was placed onto 45 mg oxycodone every 3 hours while on a dilaudid drop for 2 months in the hospital. On leave from the hospital for a year he was on 45 mg oxycodone every 3 hours and 4 mg Dilaudid. In 2016 He said enough was enough and went to the VA to get help. The answer was back to suboxone. This week my friend has suffered Appendicitis and had successful surgery. They placed him on 2/ 5mg oxycodone every 6 hours. 5 days later he is out of pain meds and is scared to go back to suboxone. He feels his brain and will power are pushing him to go back to something. How can he just get off it all? No more Subs no more pain meds. I myself feel that the pills may have masked the suboxone withdraw but, will feel some discomfort being only 5 days off subs. Though the first 2 days of it are done will he have any worse effects. If there is no new hard times with withdraw that he hasnt experienced yet can he just cold turkey the rest of the time without feeling worse than not having anything at this point? Any help. BTW The amounts are below of the following.
2010-2014 - 380 perc 15mg every 3 weeks (VA PRESCRIBED)
2014-2015 - 8 mg Suboxone
2015-2016 - 45 mg oxycodone / 4 mg dilaudid
2017- 5 days ago - 18 mg Suboxone
5 days ago - 10 mg oxycodone 4x a day
BTW I APPOLOGIZE IF THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE (1st TIME FORUM POST/MANY YEARS READING)
