Hi guys. Got a bad sick to stomach feeling after errands in dreadly hot weather and just came around from collapsing on my bed.
Buprenorphrine? Not sure, possible; will google. Kept thinking it was something that sounded similar to Klonopin, but no, it's not Klonopin. Is there Clonodine? I dunno.
Still stomachachey ... sorry.
Hate to go request records. Could call and see how much, if anything, it would cost, to p/u.
I cannot 'just lower a dosage'. Besides becoming extremely ill with no one here w/ me, it's very dangerous to do this. It can be done properly. I think 'undergoing a vacation', and then started at a lower dosage, is a possibility though.
There exists a 'vacation from a narcotic protocol' out there for the specific reason of not increasing a person's dosage. You then restart @ your same dosage, and get relief enough to eliminate the feeling of a need for more.
I did try this on my own once and was alone and nearly passed out before I could dial 911. Even after taken to the ER, some medical personnel don't 'get' this issue. But, in the detox unit I was in, it was all good, constant monitoring, labs, yes some group talks re: addiction, but for the most part, no disrespect. Whatever was in this patch were the tools to prevent DTs, etc.
I suppose restarting @ a lower dosage after the prior is something I could keep in mind.
