Hi,
I am having some issues and have had some issues with my subutex script.
Having been messing with opium and heroin for the last year or so, i decided to go back to the UK to get some help. I live in France. This is my 2nd time, 1st did the methadone route (which as i seem to remember was fine.) after a 5 year addiction.
When i went back to the Uk i was prescibed 8mg subutex which held me fine but with side effects making me feel uneasy and slightly panicky. I decided to forget it and do cold turkey with some valium and tramadol.
Subsiquently, i got back to france and began using immediately.
I then went to the doctor here, and as i had the subutex script from the uk, it was no bother getting a script here. The problem is, now i am starting to reduce my dose, it is resulting in panicy episodes and what i would probably call depression. I don't want to go out, my will to do anything or go out has gone. I don't remember this happening with methadone.
I am wondering if it is not suited to me. would it be better to swap to meth? Although i don't want the rigmarole and lengthy reducing.
Or could my dopamine/endorpine levels just be shot to pieces after years of abusing? Would an antidepressant work along side the subs?
Bearing in mind i want to get off the subs quick, although from the symptoms it feels like maybe they are not agreeing with me. Or is it normal that i will effects like this.
I was on an antidepressant before, with the meth. I am really reluctant to get on any more meds than i need to. Fed up with dependancy.
But right now i just feel like using, so something surely is wrong????

Any insight would be ever so appreciated x
 
did you wait until you were in full withdrawals before you took the bupe also did you wait at least 24 hours even if you felt the withdrawals cause if you didn't the bupe could be making you feel a lot worse
 
Just read up on PAWS, sounds like it could be it. Its making me feel needy of a solution or a fix. Whether i need another stabilizing drug to make me feel settled, i just don't know. I guess it just how reliant i want to get on anything else. It hard to know whether you actually need it or its phycological or what.....
thank you.

I know that weed isn't for everyone, but being able to smoke weed and use edibles/extracts really help in terms of being comfortable on Suboxone.
