Hello all,
I have been on 16mg of suboxone for a year now, after a lengthy heroin habit. My wife (who I have been unable to see for several months) returns tomorrow, and is staying til sunday night. 3 Days ago, I cut my dose down to 12mg, 2 days ago to 8, and 8 yesterday. Today I've taken no suboxone. In the past year, while on suboxone, I've never relapsed, so I don't know how to handle this. Everyday when I wakeup, I NEED to take suboxone, otherwise I go into withdrawal. Today, I did not take any suboxone, instead I snorted a bag of philly's finest. It did not make me feel good at all, just took away the withdrawal. I am wondering if tomorrow, when my wife returns, I will be able to have fun with her doing dope, or if I will just be avoiding withdrawal? Its been a year since Ive done dope, and would really like to celebrate it, and her return, with my wife, but I'm not sure I'll be able to feel it. Again, I took my last dose (4mg) of suboxone yesterday at 5pm, she comes tomorrow at 5pm, so about 48hrs after my last dose. Like I said, I've never relapsed in the year I've done suboxone, so I have no idea how long I need to wait. I hear 72 hours which scares me. Please hlep.
Thank You.
