What I meant was that subs have a ceiling effect where 4mg. and 8mg. will feel the same.  I have read others say the same thing that they couldn't tell a difference.

i only took half this morning, and i cant really feel the difference, you think that because i took a whole one everyday that i will feel withdrawl when the build up of sub that i normally had drops some?

 

[Suzie]

No, it doesn't work the way other opies work.  Because of the ceiling effect taking more than 4mg. is a waste and will feel the same as taking 8mgs.   I went from 8 to 4 to 2 without feeling any difference and so did others on another board I was on where people were trying to get off subs.  Most doctors that prescribe subs are really ignorant about the amounts.  I'm really proud of you for trying it and now you will have twice the amount!!

Suzie is absolutely right! And at lower than 4mg the thereputic effectiness is better spread out over the day. IMO! I can now use 1mg 4x per day and i feel the same as if i took all 4 at once, however, there is a bit of a "rush" if taken all at once. But if you use this medicine daily that will diminish. This is not factual its just what I've experienced.

I was on suboxone for 6 years and stayed clear of any other drugs besides the occasional xanax when my add got super bad (I know xanax is not for add but it helped both my add and anxiety ) .The subs must have also been helping control my anxiety but they also make me what i call feelingless.When I weaned myself off of subs I went from 24 mg to 2 mg in less than a month . Everything was fine til I quite taking the 2 mg . Then I had horrible caps and spasms for over a month. So bad my wife could not even sleep in the same bed with me . The no sleep and sore muscles finally took a toll on me and a started to get back into some very old and bad habits . 5 months later and 60 pounds lighter I ended up going back to my doctor and getting back on subs . Did not realize how much he they helped with my anxiety until I quite taking them . I told my wife when I stopped taking them (I hope I don't feel to good ) she said (What) . Yeah I did start feeling to good . Lol way to f'n good .

That sounds a lot like coming off trams. Restless leg/spams are horrible. I've used benzos, pod tea, and/or c0deen in combinations to relieve them at different times.

I wish subs helped my anxiety. I made the switch from methadone to subs twice and each time it's like I'm jumping out of my skin the whole time. Constant panic attacks even at doses <2 mg. really wished that it worked but it is super weird. I've taken every opiate that I know of and never had a side effect like that. It is a weird drug that has tons of unknown effects and uses for depression and anxiety and all?(for most). A little scary some of the talks of wider off label prescribing for depression.

BE CAREFUL with benzos. I was stuck in and endless nightmare of wd's for two years. I had no idea what I was in for. I won't get into details, but it's been almost two years and I'm still not the same. It's saddens me to think how many people are prescribed this stuff for long durations. In my experience it should not be used on a daily bases. Not unless you plan to screw your brain up for life.
