Hello all.
A very long story short, I'm recently back on subutex for pain management (2nd try at-it for that purpose).
However, I have a couple conditions: kidney stones and acute pancreatitis, that flare up no less than a couple times a year. In fact, I am recovering from acute pancreatitis, day #4...
I suffered through the first 48 hours until a prescription that I had for Percocet FINALLY started to provide relief (albeit at 30-50mgs vs 10-20).
Is there ANY amount of bupe that I can take (daily, even once every other) that WILL allow a full agonist to bind any provide SOME detectable amount of relief in a very acute, very intensely painful situation? I'd rather NOT to pray to rely on some attending ER physician to feed me 12mg IV hydromorphone or 300+mcg IV fentanyl just to TRY break through bupe -- Id rather maintain on a dose that could possibly allow a full agonist to provide some detectable relief at a "standard" dose-ish.
I was able to suffer through the acute pancreatitis -- but next time I have a kidney stone, if I had to wait 48 hours? Unthinkable. Unimagineable. I'd hope that the ER would infuse propofol just to get me to stop screaming.
