First of all, I realize this is a terrible idea for my goal of getting off opiates and has a high likelihood to lead me to right back where I started. At this point it's just something I want to know, and not something I've decided to do.
I have over a 300mg/day Oxy habit, and have tried multiple times to get on subs. Currently I've been on them for 8 days. I'm taking a low dosage, currently down to 1 mg doses throughout the day, for a total of 3mg a day. In my past experiences of giving up on subs, I've found that if I take a low dose of sub in the morning (1 mg), then by that evening I can "feel" the full effects of Oxycodone. In each of those past instances though, I have just stayed on the oxy for weeks/months until eventually getting back on the subs again. Each time I do this, the induction is HELL. Absolute misery for a day, and I don't feel ok until about day 3. I fear induction, and that fear is at least currently keeping me from going back to oxy full time.
My question is this: Based on my past experience that I've outlined above, given that I've only taken 1mg of subs early this morning, I am fairly certain that if I got a few roxi's tonight that I would enjoy them. What if then tomorrow morning I immediately got back on the suboxone? Would I have to go through the whole induction hell period again, or would it be just like I never stopped the suboxone and I would feel fine?
I know this is my stupid addict mind trying to make it sound like a good idea, but I'm really wondering if anyone out there has done this and can share your experience. Thanks!
