That's your call. I was all about this medication the first five days but now I feel way different. I was surprised how quickly my body adapted to needing it and the cause of slight withdrawal symptoms when bumping it down to 1mg, once in the morning. I took my second dose before the 12-hour mark, at 9 hours and the symptoms lessened before the pill dissolved under my tongue. This scared me.

I’ve taken OxyContin 40mg-60mg a day on my way to 80mg per doctors orders but went through withdrawals on my own when I said enough, can’t live like this. Prior to that neurologist prescribed Percocet 7.5mg 240 a month, then the Acetaminophen amounts worried me and I suggested 15mg Codeine Sulfate; she prescribed 30mg. Which still made me nauseated and pain overrode it like it was nothing. Back then I was drinking but I never mixed booze and painkillers. I knew the risk, in my case, death because of the way I was drinking. Never drank on the Percocet and the OxyContin for the same reason.

Did you know Buprenorphine increased dental problems including tooth loss being common side effects, even in people who have no history of dental problems?

I took FMLA at 1pm today from being severely nauseated and dizzy. Pain increased from 3/10-5/10 with various degrees of pain and burning in my back, neck, and right side to my ankle; nerves all the way to my ankle, lol. Fun times.

Shot down to the doctor office instead of calling at my 14 day mark which was the agreement. I already factored in, they don't do prescription refills on Friday. Just in case he is feeling generous and going, Oh shit!, knowing what this cycle could spell out with withdrawals and having a heart with all the political bullshit tied to this subject. I’d like to think doctors still understand and do what is right despite the red tape. -edit 4:16pm: His office called back (I didn’t ask them to), left a voice mail (was trying to nap, relaxed no less trying to ease severe nausea) and scheduled an emergency appointment with me tomorrow. Called back and accepted.
