Hi all, new to the site.
Me, I have been an addict (Heroin) since I was 17, i'm now 52. I have had long periods of sobriety 12 yrs, 3 yrs, etc. I am totally new to suboxone/subutex. I recently started with a Dr. He started me on Subutex for about 4 days. I wasn't sure how I felt the first day, second day, third... He started me on a half, and told me to keep taking half at a time trying to take as little as possible. I still felt kind of sick until I finally on about the 3rd day took a whole one of the subutex. I kinda blew it and did dope for 2 days after the 4th day. My question(s)
One, can I just start over when I get sick tomorrow, and two, will the actual suboxone work better? I have 4 subutex pills left. I have to work on Mon, today is Sat, and I anticipate being sick on Sunday if not tonight. I thought it was supposed to take it all away like a miracle drug, but at least on the smaller doses I still had stomach issues. Like I said when I took a whole one at once I think I did feel a more pronounced difference. And to clarify I have not tried the Suboxone yet. I have read the only difference between the two is the naloxone.
I will answer any questions, and appreciate any experience from the group.
