Ok so I did a lot of research on iv bupe before and during use.. so I know of the potential dangers. But to me, being 54 days clean off of heroin, like completely done, longest clean time I've had in a while, IVing bupe has been the only thing keeping me sane, clean, and tbh alive these days. After this experience however I am done with it because any possible benefit is not worth this problem.
So here it goes, my circulation has been pretty bad throughout my years of iv heroin use on top of occasional other iv drugs and bupe, especially recently banging bupe up to 4 times daily for the past about 50 days.
Was really tired after one particularly busy day, took about 1mg bupe with too much water (80units) before a meeting.. was just tired, couldn't wait to get home.. then when I got into bed my hands were both going really numb really fast. Got no sleep that night (the night before last night) because the hands were so numb and painful I had to get up every 5 minutes literally to get them not numb. Should mention before the numbness started I was extremely cold and no amount of blankets would help. That was the first symptom but it went away about 12 hours later. The next morning I just felt like complete shit, had to take off work, couldn't eat, ached so bad all over I didn't leave bed til this morning..
Got a little sleep last night by sitting up at 90 degree angle (sucks lol) but after taking a couple nsaids, 1.5 mg xanax and my sublingual dose of bupe I feel better... just my hands numbness!! They're constantly numb. And it's not a cold thing, it's a circulation thing imo Because they remain numb even when warmed.
That's the short of it because it really sucks typing with numb hands.
To me it sounds like a dirty shot almost but it seems to be lasting too long for that? Also the symptoms appeared about 3 hours after the shot.
Definitely could be just the straw that broke the camels back as far as fucking up veins and as I said earlier used more water than usual and missed a bit of the shot cuz I was in a hurry so..
But then shouldn't I only lose circulation in the one arm? Yet both are numb... and my legs idk of its low circulation but I can't stand for long.
It's getting better as I wouldn't do much as answer my phone all day yesterday. Literally did nothing.
N ofc I'm one of those stubborn guys who wait til last moment to go to ER when abusing medication.
AnywAy please give any incite opinions whatever.. me my friends and family have no clue what's going on and could really use some advice or insight
