Comments on: Happy Half-Birthday to Me! http://www.meditoxofpalmbeach.com/blog/happy-half-birthday-to-me/ News and Observations from the Fight Against Painkiller Addiction Tue, 02 Dec 2008 18:28:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Bottlecappie http://www.meditoxofpalmbeach.com/blog/happy-half-birthday-to-me/#comment-1824 Bottlecappie Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:26:35 +0000 http://www.meditoxofpalmbeach.com/blog/?p=393#comment-1824 That is so great Buddy! Congrats on your decision to get off the pain pills. The decision to start treatment with Suboxone was one of the best that I've ever made. I hope it works as well for you as it has for me. I had some pretty intense sweats and hot flashes for the first few weeks, but they went away. And I remember it took a while for my sleep to be regulated also. I think our bodies are a little freaked out when we make such a radical change, so it might be a part of the detoxing process. I encourage you to talk to your doctor about the night sweats and sleeping issues if they continue to bother you though. I wish you the best of luck in your recovery. Take care of yourself and please come back and comment if you are ever in need of support! -bottlecappie That is so great Buddy! Congrats on your decision to get off the pain pills.

Your blog sounds EXACTLY what I went through with my addiction. I'm on my tenth day of Subo and feel great, after two years of addiction. I'm trying to find out what is causing me not to sleep very well and wake up 3-4 times a night soaked in sweat. I have to change my clothes several times a night. I have post laminotomy syndrome which gives me chronic low back pain, but even that has subsided. I lost my family but am slowly getting them back. I know that I will NEVER take any kind of pain pill again! Glad to see so many people on the recovery road too. Congrats! Your blog sounds EXACTLY what I went through with my addiction.
