thankyou for this educational info. I live on a reservation in montana, there is an enormous problem here with pills along with alcohol and street drugs …we have IHS as the health provider or i should say pill provider and no education on how to deal with getting off narcotics ihs tries to deal with it the same way they deal with an alcoholic if you go to the treatment facility they give you valium to detox you for three days in the hospitol side then off to the treatment side for 28 days…

So doctor, what is the point of even taking a dose higher than 4mg? My doctor started me at 16 and 2 1/2 years later I’m still on the same amount, and now it seems like it isn’t “holding” me anymore.

Some programs, including one in the city where I live, never give more than 4 mg for that exact reason. I think that some docs give in the the sensation all of us addicts have– that we ‘need more’. Higher doses might reduce cravings a bit more effectively- the jury is still out on that. They also provide a stronger block of agonists, so the addict can think ‘what’s the point of using– it won’t work anyway’ (you CAN overcome lower doses with high doses of agonists).

the location of the ceiling depends on the efficiency of dosing. I rarely see withdrawal in people tapering from 24 down to 4 mg– where the w/d really starts. Good luck at staying clean– no sarcasm intended.

I’m really sorry you’ve been so misled I would really suggest you look into how much Docs make that work in addictionology compared to other much, much more profitable fields like dermatology. The majority of docs who work in addiction medicine really pretty much have to do it because they care, I mean seriously who would volunteer to put up with addicts behavior all day and make the least amount of money compared to other fields in medicine.

Think about how horribly in debt most docs are when getting out of med school, I mean we’re talking hundreds of thousands of dollars. If someone was only concerned about making money addiction medicine wouldn’t even be an option.
