^ Ace about the posting, I'll try to as well! We'll bring the old-skool BDD social back laC
8mg twice a day is a hefty dose of Suboxone you know, especially for someone without a daily habit - you're going to push your tolerance up loads and it would take quite a while to comfortably taper down from 16mgs bupe.. if you're getting really high off it I would say the dose is definitely way too high, especially when you come to take your 2nd 8mgs and you still have some of your first 8mgs in the system. Add benzos and that could be really risky. Were you honest with your doc about your opioid use? That doesn't sound right for you at all, when you just wanted something to keep you stable and the cravings at bay rather than maintenance therapy for a big opioid habit.
The conversion for full agonists to buprenorphine is complex and not linear, but 30mg oxycodone = around 1mg bupe. There is a ceiling for respiratory depression, and 8mg is not necessarily 8 times stronger, but you see my point.. throw in some Xanax and it could be deadly. Be careful laC, I remember when you vanished around New Years and I was so worried for you!
CI sounds lovely
I'm doing okay thanks - had a great weekend (MDMA, met a BLer, saw Squarepusher and Death in Vegas and Grimes and others) and feeling okay today but am a little tired now. Doing it all over again next weekend too, May's a bit of a crazy month!
