I'm so glad to hear this is helping you.
I had the package insert for Suboxone but I do not know what I did with it. I read the half life is 37 hours but also between 24-36 hours. I believe doctors prescribe it in 12 hour dose intervals to keep blood levels even. My old pharmacist confirmed this information to me. I had take it every twelve hours for my pain. I Hope this information helps you.
I hope the itching stops soon. On Suboxone for me it was not so bad and did not last but a couple of days. I was getting very sleepy when I restarted the Morphine but it is dissipating. I think your sleepiness will probably dissipate soon too, I hope so. I drink coffee when I get so sleepy, it helps some. I still have one or two Suboxone left that I never used and Selegaline and tianeptine if I did not already throw it away, which I never even used. I can't afford all this either. Everything is so costly you know.
Now I have Parnate and either I am afraid to start is because I will have no hope if it does not work or sometimes just too depressed to want to bother.
Do you have a pdoc? Maybe if you are on the Suboxone for a while and it is working you could convince him/her to write a script for it. I dont have a pdoc now but if I start the Parnate by chance it works again I plan on starting with one and trying to get them to write a script based on the fact I am already taking it and it is working.Keep us updated and again it is so good to hear you are doing better,
