Good Morning,

I did post in the introduction section to introduce myself, those that read it know I'm real new with Suboxone. Today is day 28 on this great med !!! 28 days without a pain pill. It's wonderful !!!

The question I have at this point, I've read about people being in the induction stage, the maintence stage, taper stage.... I get the taper part, but when does the induction end …

It has been almost a full week since my last suboxone dose and today I thought I would give a little check in to you fine folks. For the first time in a long time I feel truly happy. I mean truly happy. I am certain that in my case opiates and Suboxone muted my emotions and I am feeling that cloud lift today.

I am smiling, and apparently that is something that I haven't done in some time …

Hi, I joined this website a few days ago and have already recieved some great advice from Nanamom.
I was wondering if anyone else on here completed a successful suboxone taper and if now off them completly and what it was like for them the first few days without the sub, and any advice on how to fight the cravings. I am currently on a very small dose once when I wake up and again between 4-6pm, …

When I started tapering down my dosage I found it ridiculously hard to maintain functionality. Eventually I noticed that when I placed the film on the bottom of my mouth right away it seemed like I was not absorbing all the medication. For me whenever I placed the film directly on the underside of my tongue almost at the base, the medication seemed to last much longer. Once i did that …

I am new to this site and glad to have a place to discuss suboxone.

I have been on it for 10 days now. My doctor prescribed me to take 12 mg in the am and 12mg in the pm. That is way too much for me, so I started taking 8mg a day, still too much and now I am taking only 4mg a day in the am. I feel that I have the right dose, but I am still feeling really sick to my stomach and extremely tired!! …

Constipation is killing me even at 3mg a day! But Ive learned a few tricks. First, there is something you can buy at Walgreens called Prunelax. Its natural, and it says to take 3 a day, but I take 3 with lots of water then 2 hours later take 2 more. Keep repeating that every day till you go. Or you can try senna tea. Many pharmacies and supermarkets now carry this. But the best thing that …

My Dr...the one I've had trouble with. Well,I had a appt. come Wed of next week. On my last visit he said I could increase my dosage if I needed to b/c he forgot about setting the computer for this month for the increase. I've taken the extra mostly b/c of my pain. I was in such pain a few days ago I could hardly get out of bed.
The nurse …
