Day 4- go me!!!!

[Plehdeen]

I just want to give an update on how I'm doing-I am on day 4 and have not touched a loratab ;) in 6 years I have not gone a single day without one so I feel completely different, in a good way. I still think about them a lot but today I feel like I'm starting to hate them bc of what they put me through. I am going to first meeting tonight bc I know the suboxone isn't enough.

I so need to take some of your strength loritabs and tramadol were a big hard limit for me. But I can see you are doing well. Say Weaver if you read this I was reading about how you were breaking down the amounts of Suboxone. How do I figure out how much I am taking versus how much loritab is? Does that makes since to you? I want to know how much of suboxone I am taking equals to how much loritab I may have been taking. Hope this makes since?

It's important to take as little sub as you need. I had to cut my dose back, because I was taking too much. It effected my nerves as well. If you consider that 1mg of sub is approx. equal to 30-40mg morphine, you can do the math compared to how many lortabs you where on. Talk to your doctor if you think you need an adjustment. Glad to hear you are jumping right into a meeting. For me, it's like having this forum in a room full of people.

How ya doing?

[Plehdeen]

Thanks everyone. I will let you know how meeting goes. The main complaint I have right now is feeling very nervous. I am shaking more than normal and blood pressure a little high. I feel like im kinda out of it. I'm guessing this is all normal.? I'm taking 2 and a half suboxone films a day- could the nervous and shaking be related to that? My next doc visit is Monday so won't c doc till then
