I was down to 4 5mg oxy ir a day. Down from 160mg a day. Two month taper. I dont know why, I wasnt stressed at all but last night I snorted a 15mg oxy ir. I didnt get high even though this is 3 times what I have tapered down to. I felt guilty as hell and ashamed. Today I started back on my 20mg. a day taper and feel fine. I didnt even really think about it, I just wanted to get high and tried. I wasnt having a moment of weakness or withdrawal just kinnda happened. Is this common and do you guys think that there is reason for concern?

Look back at the progress you have made. It is not uncommon for someone to slip up a little while they are tapering their dosage and trying to get clean. I give you props for making it this far! Just keep on pushing towards your goal. You will make it.
 
yeah man, you've made it further than most.. keep it up and keep us posted, good luck!
you can do it %)


Im clean, but in my mind im really not because im on suboxone.. so the doctors consider me clean but in my mind i feel like im cheating :\ .. but it's been 3 years since i touched any opiate besides subs, so maybe i am clean? i donno. lol

Yeah I would agree with everyone else, those things can happen, don't let it get you down, you've made amazing progress to be PROUD of. But, also make sure you don't make a habit out of it. Don't think now "oh these things happen all the time it's cool" and rail 30mgs tomorrow. It's SO easy to make justifications (bad week, good progress so far, etc), and it's so easy to fall right back into it, trust me... But good luck man, 160mg to 20mg in two months shows a lot of discipline and determination, keep it up :)
 
u didnt do 3x the amount u tapered to

u did 20% less...

u shouldnt let it get u down, but thats a good thing that u feel guilty, thats real good progress

ive been tapering with sub, iv thought about doin oxy, iv come close but relized how guilty id feel if i did it...

if ur comfortable at 20mg, keep the taper going, dont go backwards
