I think I screwed myself...
I have been posting here a lot and I apologize in advance. I have been extremely sick the past week and not understanding how since I have been trying to stabalize on the 40mg of hydro for a week... Could the reason why I am having trouble stabalizing is because I jumped from about 3mg of Subutex to 40mg of Vic? In my previous thread someone mentioned this and it makes sense.... I assume I am withdrawing off the subs and that is what is killing me. I know 3mg Sub is a hgiher opiate dose than 40mg hydro but im a week and the 40mg is not even stopping the diahrea. could this be why I am feeling so bad? I want to taper down the hydro but was hoping to get stabalized on it first.

I think ive been surviving on crackers and green tea.... im so unhealthy right now its disgusting... I NEED TO make myself healthy.... I have to. I need to get motivated.... I just lay on the couch and dwell in how miserable I am. I went for a little walk, I mean little, and I felt good that I got out.
So I feel ashamed as to what I decided on today .... I went to my psych and he suggested to try the Subs at a lower dose 2mg split in half.... then taper.
He suggested that because of my mental state..... I kind of agreed but
I am sleeping on it....I know for certain I can't control my taper on the hydro.
Once I get someone to watch my kids for a week I am CT off. I feel like a let down. I dont want to pop pills all day....I am so sick of this!

You've decided NOT to go back on subs, right? And stablize on the hydro until your Mom arrives?
It's not stopping probably because of the subs.
You gotta be patient. I'd say it's probably going to take a few more days to stabilize. But I maintain my above advice. I say jump when your mom comes.
I really want you to feel better. You deserve it.
Oh, and maybe just explain to your psych doc you were being a little dramatic and you aren't ACTUALLY gonna drive your car into a pole (:
You're gonna be okay sweetie. I know it doesn't feel like it right now. But you will be.
