Taking the suboxone when/if you start feeling bad withdrawal will make you feel better. But I’m wondering, in the 3 weeks you were using heroin, were you not taking any suboxone? If you weren’t, a lot of it will have left your system over the 3 weeks, and you may be able to just cold turkey the heroin for a couple days and then be 100% clean off of both substances.
But you would have to decide, depending on your situation, what you need and what’s best for you. If you were taking the suboxone for withdrawal, at this point maybe you go cold turkey? But if you depend on the suboxone to keep you off heroin and you use it for maintenance, maybe it’s best to stay on it. Just something to think about because being off the suboxone for this long would be a good opportunity to just stop.
I’ve been on suboxone for I think 2 and a half years now and would love to be 3 weeks off. That was actually one of the options I was considering to get off them. To have a month of doing just enough heroin or another short acting opiate to keep me not sick, not to even get high. Meanwhile let the suboxone leave my system, and then cold turkey the heroin or just use small amounts of sub for like 3 days to take the edge off. Unfortunately I don’t have the money to binge on opiates for a month. And I probably don’t have the self control to stop either. Which is why I’m on suboxone and in the situation I’m in anyway lol. I’m sorry for the rambling now, I just wanted to put that out there that maybe you don’t have to necessarily get back on the subs. But you’d have to decide if that’s a good or bad idea for YOU.
