Sassy- I have been telling others how much the suboxen helps. I take subutex which is almost the same, but cheaper. I love it, you will find out that you don't have much breakthrogh pain. It last very long time in your blood stream. You will never go back to the other narcotics once you see how much better you function. The other narcotics were causing me depression and dependency issues. My depression is gone now. I started taking 3 8 mg tablets at first. Then now I am at 2 8 mg tablets daily. I tried 1 1/2 tabs for 2 years, but now medicare covers it, so I am doing great at 2 8 mg tabs daily. If you have coverage I would recommend 2 8 mg tabs daily. I have a high tolerance to pain meds, so I always need a good dose. Sometimes I have forgot to take mine in the morning. I don't miss those withdrawal feelings if you miss a dose on Percocet or etc. I wish others would try it because it really does give your life back. I am so glad you got to get on suboxen. The dose your on I would recommend splitting it in half. Take 4 mg in the morning and 4 mg at night. I have been taking subutex for 4 years.
