(Newest replies first)

Updated

Omg. This week I would of done anything for pills. Lost my job, boyfriend cheated, kid with suicide attempt, found out I have cancer. I'm on two 8mg a day and I took 3 for a few days for the psychological feeling of relief. Life couldn't get any worse. I will be out Tuesday and I'm not due till Thursday. What do I do?

I’m in medicine . Be honest . Go to the ER or your doctor and tell them . We know when someone is being dishonest . They will usually work with you or come up with another plan. Be careful . I went through the opposite. I want to stay on 4-6 NORCO a day because it’s easier to manage . I’m pretty severe and inoperable spinal case 2 surgeries and plates . They gave me morphine long acting which is better pain control but I don’t want it . I go off slowly every 3 months by tapering . Then stay off a week or two . Just be honest . It’s your secrets that kill you .

Suboxone has a ceiling effect, that means that if you take more pills you wont get more effect. The problem is you will run short before your next script.

I have done it and I have been honest with my dr. How many do you have left? And do you have enough at least to split so you don't go into withdrawls

Hello, Jess! How are you doing? I am very sorry about your cancer diagnosis.

And I am very glad that your doctor understood and didn't penalize you for taking those extra doses.

What is your cancer prognosis?

This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

I ended up calling my doctor and letting him know everything and he was more thankful I didn't use again. That was more important than me taking two extra doses.
