Thanks in advance for anyones advice, I see my sub doc soon and just want to get some ideas what to say since I'm poor at socializing with people. I basically want a legal opiate buzz and the suboxone is becoming so ineffective now that I'm now faced with the fact that I must either switch to subutex, methadone or relapse back to vicodin. I am getting ready to gather up my cash and switch to methadone but as a last resort I want to see what my sub doctor can do. When I see him I'm going to discuss switching to done, I asked him last time about just switching to subutex and no way will he do it. I'm afraid if I talk to him about going on methadone he will cut me off the sub and I'll be stuck with wd until I can get into the clinic or worse yet take me off sub completely and then I'm horrified with wd till the clinic can get me in. What should I do? should I even bring up going to the done clinic? I already called the done clinic and they can get me in no problem but they said I have to talk to my sub doc about it first, so I'm assuming my sub doc wont think much about me doing the switch. I'm trying to think, I guess the main point of this is what should I say or not say? also since suboxone doesn't do anything much for me anymore, would it be pointless to have him switch me to subutex? I remember when I first started on suboxone while I was still in the detox outpatient program, one sunday I got this horrible headache and flu like feeling and started puking like crazy and couldn't hardly eat anything for almost 3 days. It felt kind of like wd while on suboxone and flu all at once. I had to call in sick to the detox program for 3 days and after day 4 I was finally well enough to come in again. The flu was going around at that time too, so I dont know if I caught that or I got a bad reaction to the suboxone, what do you guys think? sorry for such a long story, I just want to make sure I do the right thing before I make a long commitment with methadone. Being on an opiate for a long time or the rest of my life is great with me, but tolerance or wd scares me.
