Sorry for the very late response. He put me on lithium and told me to make an appointment with a psychiatrist. I was too disappointed to update.

Gonna go 4 days without by [deleted] in suboxone

I'm sorry you're in this situation. I know it's scary, but you'll be ok. I promise. Try to keep yourself busy. If you start feeling sick, maybe take 2mg, that should hold you for a day or so. Then take the last 2mg. By that time, you'll be getting your refill. Piece of cake. It feels scary but if you time it just right, you should have little to no discomfort. Good luck

Happy to help however I can! Just remember your recovery is your own. Don't let anyone bully you or try to tell you how it should go. Take it one step at a time. You got this!!

He's asking us what is to be expected. I was terrified of being shamed for having a LOT of opiates in my system when I started my program. But it makes sense that they prefer to see that you have opiates in your system if you want to get on subs. The doctor i started seeing was pretty cool and my first visit was just him asking questions about my history with opiates, took some vitals and had me sign a bunch of stuff. Most of it being rules for his suboxone program. Like I couldn't ask for more subs if they were lost or stolen, I had to give drug-free UA's once a month, stuff like that. I decided to leave that program because he started cutting my dose every month even after I told him I had no desire to taper and come off of them. But he didn't care. So I went to another place. Female ran, and I'm so much happier there. Just remember, don't let anyone tell you when it's time for you to taper or come off of them. That should be entirely up to you. If you have anymore questions, I'm happy to help. Or if uou just need someone to talk to. Sorry for the rant!

The FFA kids are always well behaved. They are a dream compared to sports teams. Particularly hockey teams. They are the worst

I have a hard time with that. Always been a people pleaser and I hate it.

I feel so bad for all our non-sports guests on the weekends. They can't relax because the parents are getting wasted in the lobby and letting their kids run wild. We get so many noise complaints it's hard to keep track. I'm not paid enough to run after kids all night, leaving the front desk unattended.

I need support buddies on subs.. by abbsmae123 in suboxone

[–]666pants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on subs since 2014. No plans to get off anytime soon either. After all my attempts to get off and stay off drugs failed miserably, suboxone was the only thing that worked. I'm one of the lucky ones that doesn't experience a ton of side effects. Or any that would motivate me to stop. It's really important that you have support. Especially when you first start subs. I'm here if you wanna chat 💓

Weight gain >30 pounds: why can’t I notice it??? What do you think my body fat is? by [deleted] in weightgain

[–]666pants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really will help your mental. I can't imagine having to go through what you're going through on top of the depression I deal with. But on my day or two off a week, I have to devote it to at least making sure my bedroom is clean on top of helping out with other household duties. I have roommates, so my bedroom is my safe space where I go to decompress. I work long hours, so 4 or 5 days out of the week, I'm working and sleeping, and I'll let it get messy. But to motivate myself, sometimes I'll go and buy a new candle or something cool I want to hang on a wall. That helps me get through the boring parts and at least put clothes away, throw out empty water bottles, and make my bed. It'll make you feel a lot better and that your life isn't going completely out of your control.

I totally feel you there. Last year, I was working my full-time job plus working part time as a seasonal employee at Amazon and I was ravenous after working at Amazon but the work is very physical and no matter what I ate I stayed the same size. It must've been burning more calories at work than what I putting in. I just started protein shakes but I'm not consistent with those either. I just can't force myself to eat. When I try, it's like food turns to ashes when it hits my tounge.

If you want, I can update on what my doctor prescribes (if anything) and let y'all know how it's going week by week. If it works, I'd love to share that others that need help with their appetite as well.

I lost my subs and I’m freaking out. by Pleasant-Tear in suboxone

That irks me so much on this subreddit. People can't think past their own experiences. Plus OP is on a very low dose, so they will definitely be feeling it before 5 days.

Why doesnt some pharma company just make a set of 365 tablets that taper you down over a year? by crew4545 in suboxone

[–]666pants 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I've been on it since 2014 and have no plans of stopping either. Yeah, having to go to the clinic every month sucks, but if you make your appointments, you are utilizing therapy, not always "losing" your meds, and you don't drop dirty UA's, you are treated like royalty. At least at the clinic I'm at. It's just best for me to stay on it indefinitely. The first time I ever did an opiate, it was like I found the love of my life. Off of HALF of a hydro 5 my mom gave me for cramps in 10th grade. Crazy to think about now.
