Sounds like you did way too much dope and if you don't want to OD or fall down and crack your head open/break your neck, I'd advise taking it easy in the future...

I've been on suboxone for 18 months I'm currently taking 2 of the 8mg/2mg sublingual films n I'm going to run short this month by like 4 days so I cut my dose to 1 a day so I don't run out but I'm still short. I know drs tell you not to change your own dose but I knew I had to cause if not it would lead to cravings n I can't deal with the cravings ill be too tempted. I don't want to do H. N I don't want to wd. I'm pregnant so I don't need any extra stress. I need ideas on what to take that will help with c oping an the wds.

Chinky is right...There is no need to take 16mg of suboxone a day. You should be taking 8mg at the most then saving the other 8mg for a rainy day.
 
Even 8 is crazy. I have found that even for bigtime junkies, 1-2mg will usually do the trick. Maybe not make you feel perfect or kill the cravings, but definitely take the sick away all day. Doesn't take much. They prescribe a shitload, but you don't need it all.
 
I was on 12mg Suboxone a day after rehab and I was on it for about 4 months. Then I had my first of two spine surgeries and I was able to stash away 45, 8mg tabs, 8 of which I recently used around X-Mas. Back then I was following DR's orders because I didn't know anything about it but Bluelight has been a valuable resource for info on this one of many subject's. Two surgeries and a car accident later and I actually need the oxy that I am prescribed.

I'm finally done with this little run tomorrow... going to suck it up and get back on the fucking suboxone. Got some klonopin to help the transition but either way, this has to be done and I need to quit being such a pussy about it.

Hey Mr Skag,
As long as you have some klonnies and you realize that by day 3 or so you're not going to be able to sleep...
Just make sure you've got some tv series on dvd or netflix that will help make the time go faster. That's what I do when I have no subs. Homeland is a great thriller. Sherlock too. Alias is fun and has loads of episodes. That sort of thing.

I hope that helps a little. Love, Gwen

With Subs, my experience is that I can get away with cutting the 8mg strip into 4 pieces and then every 18 - 24 hours or so I take one 2mg piece. I can usually get "clean" (i.e. all dope out of my system) using 4 - 6 2mg slices/pieces over the course of 4 or 5 days or so. I still haven't gotten a job yet, and so far, all of the jobs I'm sill in the running for require drug tests so it's nice knowing that I can get straight(ish) in 5 days.

And I say straight"ISH", because even though It's common knowledge that heroin gets out of your system in 72 hours or so; a friend who was in rehab told me that they tested him daily, and that even when the dope was out of his system, the test kept coming up positive for fentanyl and dillies - which I assume was part of the cut in some of the bags. So the best thing to do is wait it out at least 10 days "clean" to be super sure you are good.

(I hope I didn't violate a rule here, but this is basic harm reduction stuff. Wait longer than you need to in order to pass the drug test and then think about stayiing off!)

I'm probably going to take another break around feb 16th or so until the end of march or so. Save up some money, get the tolerance back down. Hit the Saks Fifth Avenue Outlet. Maybe go to LA for a weekend. It's so funny how much I used to shop shop shop and travel around to see my fave bands. I was a gold member on American Airlines AND at Hilton Hotels. I was like that chick from Sex In The City crossed with Penny Lane from Almost Famous... Now every drop of money goes on dope - especially if I'm not working consistently. If I'm making $500 a week, only $100 goes on dope, the rest on the credit card or the phone bill...

Man, I'm STILL nodding. Team Nod Roll Call! G-Coop is in da house. 8(

30 mg methadone makes work bearable right now. Getting a few bags after work, too. How's life, y'all?
 
What's Up Jeebis?

You've been goin' at it pretty hard lately. What sort of work do you do that lets you get away with all the shit you've been doing? And I mean this in the nicest possible way, with some awe thrown in, because I'm jealous. I'm a secretary and if I do just enough dope, my work is faster and better and "wow Gwen, you're really rocking today" sort of thing. If I do too much I'm nodding at my desk and that is NOT COOL at ALL!

That happened over the summer and I blamed it on a benadryl. And then called in dopesick (not really!) the next day to reinforce that I was commin' down wiith something...

Gonna put some coffee on and check the news. PM me if you're bored and want to talk...

Gwen


I'm not working today and still have like 8 or 9 bags left over from yesterday.

When I transitioned to subs around Xmas I watched Law and Order SVU ALL DAY LONG! I had no energy to change the channel and even if I did I couldn't focus or decide what else to watch so I left it on. I found that to be a big mistake because alot of those stories are sad and in my depressed state I found myself tearing up on a few occaisions. So HighonLife is right, comedies are the way to go.

Funny (no pun!), but I'd think there would be nothing to suck you in, interest wise... Maybe grabbing all 7 seasons of 30 Rock. Or LOST. Parks and Recreation. Lost Girl (on SciFi, made in canada lots of sex) those sorts of things would make the time pass faster than something depressing.

But last year when i was really strung out- I was REALLY into 24!

I lovveeddd 24. I burned through that whole series in like 2 weeks because I didn't watch it when it was live.
 
^^ I did the same thing with 24 but it took me a little longer than two weeks. The worst past about watching the usa network all day were the same fucking commercials over and over and over. Now when I see one it totally reminds me of withdrawing that day.

Yeah, shit that I watch when I'm dope sick... it will forever remind me of being in withdrawal and that horrible feeling. Hah. So I have to be careful what I do when I'm sick because I don't want to taint something awesome with bad memories.
 
I ruined NCIS. I see a commercial for NCIS and I break out into sweats. Haha, I didn't realise how common it was to ruin shows this way.

Same thing goes with shows about space. I've watched a few marathons about the universe while dopesick. When I was a kid I found outer space fascinating, but now I see Saturn and immediately think about needing a fucking bag.


About to go pick up some top-shelf h, along with (supposedly) top-shelf coke. I thought I was already feeling the sickness a bit ago, but now my throat is sore and I'm certain that I'm sick sick. Which kinda sucks because I haven't been regular sick in a while. At least medicine is on the way.
