The eye area is an extremely sensitive/painful area anyway, however my injury finally healed, not knowing any better I stopped my medication, and started to work. Within a day, I was now in the middle of full blown withdrawals, shaking, very sensitive, sweating the whole 9 yards. I had no idea what was going on, and without getting too personal these things are not acceptable in my line of work. I spoke to my doctor via phone, he asked me to stop by as we were close friends and workout partners. He told me that I looked and checked out fine, he asked me of any changes I may have made in the past couple of days to my regular routine, I advised him “ no sir, all I’ve done is stop my pain medication is all that I can think of”, his eyes got as big as saucers. He explained that being on opiates for months was something that you couldn’t just stop doing. You have to remember this was almost 20+ years ago, like most doctors of the time he prescribed me a huge amount of opiates and advise me to taper off on a 10% schedule every two weeks, and I did. However, other than just being highly sensitive to opiates I had no understanding as to why, this wasn’t working, I took the medication exactly like I was told, and the same thing happened to me when it was time for me to get off of them.

I chose the latter, and was put on Suboxone, four 8mg tablets a day, (which is ludicrous), now that I am educated on addiction. Like you stated yourself, this saved my job, which WAS my life. However, every year or so, I would taper against the clinicians orders to get off of these things, but because of the occupational hazards that come along with my job, I was frequently getting injured and having to go back up to the full amount, because I would NOT take any pain medication, because of surgeries, or injuries. Like yourself I have been on Suboxone since, like clockwork every month, I drive an hour to the clinic, where no one knows me due to the small town that I live. BEFORE these things took place, I had discovered in my early 20s that my testosterone was anywhere from 120 to the high 90s and was on injectable cypionate. My physician was somewhat educated on this issue and allowed me to inject myself, my prescription was around 300 MG’s every two weeks, and this worked wonders. My levels came up, and I felt like a brand new man, although I was still extremely young.

[QUOTE="KJV1611, post: 269843, member: 46163"] Mitch, Wow am I glad that this forum exist.

Take for instance, TRT, I found this platform while searching the Internet one day, and begin to read about others, with the same issues that I have.
