Opioids 10 days clean... How far back will 1 blue send me?

[Bkbanger]

Hello,

I had been using 60-90mg of oxycodone a day for about 6 months, and recent,y decided it was time to nip this in the but before it becomes a serious addiction. I was able to get 2 strips of suboxone, and split the doses from day 1 and on as follows... 2mg/ day, 2,1,1,1,.5,.5,.5 and have been on nothing for two days now. It was pretty smooth, no major withdrawals or anything. However, I've been real sick for about four days now, with symptoms that seems to follow those of withdrawal. I do not think it is withdrawal, I think Im really actually sick. I want to do just on blue right now ( since its late I won't do too much) to test out of this flu like sickness does in fact respond to the blues.

My question is: how far back will that send me? In terms of withdrawal symptoms, will I have to start from scratch and prepare for another full 10 days of subs? Or will itbe mor gentle, maybe Just a day or two of feeling shitty? Anyone hAve any input?

Thanks.

In my opinion, going through detox only to start up and use again doesn't make any sense. Were you serious about getting clean and stopping it before it becomes a serious addiction? If you were, then I would not dose.

Either way, if you dose now, you will probably have withdrawal symptoms. They won't be as severe as if you just stopped cold turkey from 60-90mg oxy a day, but they could be pretty bad as it's been only two days that you've been clean.

I know, I actually decided against it. I really have just been wondering about that for a while and wanted to know if anyone had any actual experience there..l

if you want to know whether your sickness is withdrawal, you dont neerd to do "one blue". all you would need would be a miniscule dose of oxycoodone or suboxone and if it relieves the symptons its withdrawal.

Yes it's withdrawal come on man you are just trying to rationalize using, why in the hell would it be the flu and not withdrawal when you just quit a 6 month oxy addiction.

You already do have a major addiction problem. 60-90mg for six months, damn.


And think of it this way - if you take a oxy, do you think you'll feel better and sickness will go away? yep it sure will. 90% sure you're in withdrawal.


And it will set you back if you decide to take it, meaning it will just make your withdraws last even longer. potentially make it even worse.

I'm sick. I think I have the flu. No, opiates won't take away the majority of feeling like crap.

I wish you luck on staying sober. 10 days is a lot. Keep up the hard work.

Even if it is a flu, the oxy isn't going to help that! plus you're hindering your recovery...

addicts always try and rationalize just like this.

I do and so do a loit of us.. it might spike your withdrawals slightly again BUT it will kill you mentally. You will stretch taht oen dose to two doses and so on. Think about it.. you just detoxed for 10 days, for some reason right>? Why fauck it up?
