Hi Shelli, how are you doing? I'm not sure exactly what you need. . I didn't see the prescription, he called it in. . .but here's what's on the box:
Buprenorphine 1mg gel troche
Compounded Rx
Dissolve 1/2 troche sublingually twice a dayWhat pharmacist said: Do not chew or swallow, takes 10-15 min. to dissolve. Onset is 30 minutes. Refrigerate.
(It's sent with ice.)I only ordered seven, to start. Their price for #30 1mg troches (1mg troche = 3mg ampule) is $122.50.
Pdoc's instructions: First 1/2 troche, then increase to 1/2 troche twice a day for next three days, then increase to 1 troche twice daily. "Ultimate ideal dosage varies from 0.45 to 1.8mg daily, with onset of action within 5-10 days." Take during day, can be activating.
Yesterday, my first gummy-troche, immed. felt relaxed, life smoother and easy to process, instead of jerky and difficult. A little stoned, in a pleasant way. Seem to feel more energy/strength in my body, too, I'm usually dragging around. . .
*Definitely* feels better than Vicodin.
