Help!! When Do I Take My Next Dose Of Suboxone?

Updated

Hello everyone.. first time writing in a forum like this.. so basically I've taken opiates for 6 or 7 months. Yesterday's at 10 pm I was at my first 24 hours with nothing. I started my subs. I took two 8mg strips.. an hour later took two more, then three hours later took two more, then three hours later took one and again three hours later took one. Last one. That was ten hours ago. I'm worried about when that will all wear off and when should I take another strip? Any helpful advice, please and thank you.

Hello, Ann! How are you?

Have you taken any more?

That was a very high dose to take in on day, the maximum is usually just 32mgs and you took twice that. It is also slowly titrated up to a higher dose, after seeing how someone does on a low one.

What dosing schedule did your doctor advise?

The film is usually dosed once daily.

The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Let me get this right... They get you off cheap street drugs and addicted to dangerous, expensive legal pills instead? What a total butt blast!
