Subutex information

Hi my name is Lisa,  on Wednesday I started subutex after detoxing off fentanyl 100mcg and dilaudid. My pain management dr put me on subtext 8mg sublingual twice a day. I know my body is still adjusting, but I feel like at around noon I start to feel anxious. I'm just not sure if I should ask my dr. for an increase in dosage or just deal with it. I just don't want to fail. I've been searching for a chat room or just anyone to communicate with. I feel so lonely and scared.

Thank you so much for responding. I'm so confused and a bit brain scrambled. I can't figure out how to get around on this site. I had no idea anybody even responded. It means so much to me. Thank you

Thank you lulu, I can't even begin to tell you and everybody who has responded to me how much it means to me! I went through withdrawals alone. It was horrific. I don't have anybody to turn to. I'm still trying to figure out how to post a thank you to everybody who gave me such great advice. My mind is still spinning from the withdrawals. Thank you for letting me know that there are still people out there who won't look down on me or judge me. You guys have literally saved my life. My Dr. Is on vacation for another week. So I've been desperately trying to connect to anyone. Sorry for rambling. This means the world to me.

I've been on subutext for over a week now. I'm hanging on by a thread. I'm having such a hard time in the afternoon between my my 8am dose and my 6pm dose. I've been journaling, chanting, praying and breathing. I feel like I'm losing it! I can't fail I just can't . I know my body and mind are still adjusting. I'm just. I don't know what I am right now. Honestly I don't know what to do.
