Znegative -- Thank you for your highly informative reply.
Right now I am in recovery. I have 40 days sober today (even though I have been on suboxone ever since I left treatment, but my sponsor and my therapist both agree that being on suboxone is not considered a relapse). I am also living in a sober living house with 10 other roommates. The house manager knows that I am on suboxone and part of the agreement to live here is that when I get my refill of suboxone, I hand over the prescription to him, so he can administer them to me. I have no problem with this. In the morning I receive my 8 mg strip and I therefore go on with my day.
I have been very very interested in all the research you have done and all the research I have read myself about suboxone. Going to urgent care and trying to get myself a prescription of hydrocodone is a very stupid idea, and the only reason I really asked if I could get high if I got some hydro's, is because I have been craving a significant amount. Especially since I ran out of suboxone yesterday and I will not have any until wednesday afternoon. When I woke up this morning without any suboxone to take, I just wanted to stay in bed until wednesday when I get my script. I am not really experiencing any withdrawal from the suboxone, and the last time I went 3-5 days without, I did not experience withdrawal anywhere NEAR the withdrawal I experienced when I was coming off methadone. Anyways, forgive me for getting sidetracked... I just felt it necessary to include that information.
So with all that said, I just miss getting that good feeling when I take my suboxone. When I have gone into treatment SEVERAL times in the past, I was in withdrawal and when they gave me the 4 mg of subutex or (in some treatments) 8 mg of suboxone, I felt EXTREMELY high soon after letting the tab or strip dissolve. And now after reading what you said, I understand why it doesn't make me feel that way anymore. I just don't know what to do with my suboxone anymore. I feel like I am taking a placebo, but my brain gets all excited when it is time to let the strip dissolve which I KNOW is just the psychological factor of - I am taking something that used to get me high... Hm.. Maybe it will make me feel good today! -
I have no way of getting a syringe, and I really would like to try injecting the suboxone strip just once or twice. I just wish I had a way of getting a syringe. Hm. Maybe things have worked out this way for a reason. Any advice??
