first day!

[gesualdo_...@yahoo.com]

So this is my first day on suboxone.I have been an opiate abuser for
the last 3 years. im 23 years old and have alot going for me if i just
try and straighten my life out! So i saw the docter this morning I was
in moderate withdrawal when I came to see him, because i was told to
do so before i could tak sub. he told me to take one 8mg and wait ten
min. and see how i feel. It made me feel a little better , but i still
felt like crap. so he gave me another one. He said its prob a good
idea to put me on 16mg for the first few weeks. I almost feel "high:
off these things. I just wanna get sober and im willing to do whatever
it takes. The reason im posting on here, which i NEVER DO. I want some
input on peoples experiences and just what I should expect, and/or
tips. id really appreciate it

Dear Michael,     Opiates are a hard drug to detox from and you will feel like crap for about 1/2 months, the subox will help but please be aware that they can be just as addicting as the opiate itself. Please try not to go abone 16mg, and drop down to 8mg as soon as possible. How i know this is i am a substance abuse counselor and many of my clients are now addicted to that drug dimply because the doc started them out at the higher level of mg. a helpful hint is to realize that though you might feel like diying you are not going to and to try and deal with at least 75% of the detox process with more natrual things such as meletonin for sleep, very, very hot showers and baths for body aches, vitamins asap daily and rest plus try to eat healthy, such as veggies, fruits, and what ever else you crave. FEED THE CRAVINGS WHEN THEY COME!!!!!!!!         Yours truly Doreen Doreen Peters RAS New Dawn Recovery 7447 Antelope Road Suite 103 916-723-1319 work 916-723-7015 fax dor...@newdawnrecovery.com   Confidentiality Note: This e-mail is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that i s privileged confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure.
