Wow, that is scary. You are lucky you are alive to tell me about it. A ? I have for you is how long were you on the Suboxone? You said you thought you needed it longer. I was just curious how long it takes to wean off this stuff. I am giving my body a three week break and then trying the Neurontin (again) and praying I don't have bad side effects like I did years ago. I see Dr. S beginning of August so I will be able to tell him all the things and he can direct me in the right direction. Thanks again for all your help. And thanks to all for your great answers. It helped me so much. It is nice to know we are not the only ones going through this mess.
take care,
