I'm sorry if this is in the wrong area, and I realize it is a fairly stupid question... but after looking online I couldn't really find the answer I was looking for.
Long story short, my situation is this, I ended up picking up H for 8 mo. straight, never blasted but still saw where it was going. I tried to quit cold turkey, and after a gnarly withdrawal (almost lost my job), relapsed and decided that I ought to go another route. Got a sub doctor (way over prescribed me at 16mg), and have since weaned down to my current dose of 1.5mg per day. Never relapsed since I started the subs.
My question is, after I successfully and completelt wean off of the subs, will I ever be able to take pain meds (or any other opiates) again without immediately going into w/ds after? And I mean like, months/years after.... not days after. Or has my brain chemistry completely changed forever?
I have oral surgery that I've been putting off for a year for that very reason. My pain tolerance is very low (which is part of the reason I got into this mess). Plus, previous to this mess, I did enjoy the occasional buzz.
Please, not looking for judgment or anything like that. This mostly comes from a place of curiosity and I am aware of the risks of temptation.
I just want to know, once I am done - completely free from any opiates - will it be like before I ever was addicted? Or has my body somehow changed.
Thanks for the info!
