Hi! I am new to the forums. I have been reading for years, but did not join until today. I contribute this site to, frankly, me not dying in the height of my drug addiction by checking the site to make sure what I was doing was safe (as safe as a drug addiction can be). I was on any prescription pain killer I could get my hands on for about four years. It started after a really bad 3rd c-section where the doctor kept handing them out and I got hooked. They made me happy, feel like I was super woman and super mom. Without them I was a depressed, worthless mess. I ended up going to rehab, was good for about two months, and relapsed. After another year I decided to try suboxone. I had bought it on the streets if I couldn't find anything else and I thought it might help get me off drugs. I was not taking a lot of pills for a couple reasons: I could not get my hands on more then 50-70 mg of hydro or oxy per day, expense, and my husband did all the foot work for me and he hated it (I think he did this to keep me happy so I would not make him help with kids, housework, or get a job since I am the breadwinner). Anyway, I have been on suboxone for six months now. Every script I manage to take too much. Maybe it's abuse of my medication, but I don't feel okay with the amount the doctor prescribes (4mg three times a day) so I run out about a week early every time. This go around I got my hands on some 10 mg hydro. I have been taking it for four days. This morning at 11:30 I took 15 mg. I should have my sub script by 5:00 and would like to take it but fear precipitated withdrawl. I can't afford that to happen. Given that it's such a low amount of hydro do I need to even worry about it? I have never gone into PW before so I don't know what it's like. Can I just take it or do I need to wait until tomorrow? If I take it and do go into PW how long does it last? Thank you so much for reading!!!!
