Hi Taylor. Just checking on you. Are u still waiting for your Drs appointment? I have been on subs for 2 months now. It certainly helps control my cravings. I too am addicted to oxys, Percs, Vic's opiate painkillers. It is my understanding that if you need surgery in the future, drs will prescribe pain meds for your pain. Of course, it would be better for you to try nonnarcotics first though. I know exactly what u mean about feeling anxious trying to hold off on taking your pills knowing you only have one refill left. That's part of our addiction. As long as I had pills I could never control my use of them. I would keep popping those until I was out of them. Then go crazy trying to come up with money and a way to buy more of them. My life was consumed by pills. While on pills I chain smoked. On suboxine I also crave cigs. I want to quit smoking, but my counslor told me to take it step by step and should concentrate on staying clean for now. Let me know how u are doing.
