Hi, I have been on suboxines for 2 in half weeks now. I take two 8mg/2mg a day. I need more than two a day. I have been addicted to oxy's for along time now. I've lost my house, my job, & my car. I have a wonderful husband, and two great children, which I'm about to lose them. Im afraid Im going to go back on the pills. I still think about them. Two weeks ago, I tried to talk to the doctor about it, He just told me to take a whole one in the morning, half around 2, & another half at night, This is not helping, How could I ask for more. I think three a day would be better for me.
You can try speaking with your doctor and telling him that this new plan is not working for you, however, don't expect him to up your dose to 3 a day.
The whole point of this treatment is to help you get off of opiates, not get you addicted to a new one.
When you are in treatment with Suboxone, they try to start you off at a dosage that minimizes your withdrawal symptoms from the drugs you have stopped taking, then slowly taper you down until you can be drug free.
To give you larger amounts of it, would just defeat the purpose.
If I take a suboxone will this show up on my drug screening for probation? I am having withdrawls but I have a probation meeting in four days and I am scared to take it not knowing if it will make me come up positive for something on the drug screen
