Hello, i've been on suboxone since monday to try and kick my snorting H habit. And i took two 5 mg VICS but still feel crappy (not enough opiate to hold me over im guessing) and wondering if i took a little sub would it throw me into withdrawals or since i already have it in my system it wont matter? here is what i've done so far...

1 bag a day H habit last use around 4pm sunday

2mg sub @ monday 10am
1mg sub @ monday 10pm
1mg sub @ tuesday 8am
.5mg sub@ wendsday 1am
two 5mg hydrocodone @ wendsday 9pm

thats my schedule thus far (still have 7.5 mg of sub strip left for my quick taper im trying to do. but just wondering if its safe to take more sub, i knew i shouldnt of done the vics but you know how it is sometimes, especially given for free.
any advice on my next sub dose, how i should continue my taper, and encouragement of any kind will help please. this is my first real attempt at quitting (since first starting snorting H in october) and i came here for support where i dont have anyone else that knows (my family and friends dont know) so thanks in advance. and let me know ASAP
 
You have enough bupe on your receptors and took a low enough dose of hydrocodone that you'll most likely be fine.

Don't know why you didn't realize that taking an opiate, especially such a weak dose, would be pointless with suboxone in your system. It blocks the effects of opiates so you weren't going to get high even if you took way more hydrocodone.
 
Stay on your sub dose, don't up or lower it, because you're just going to make it more confusing for yourself.
It sucks that you took other opiates, but it isn't the end of the world, it was just once at a small dose, i think you shouldn't bother too much, but don't keep repeating it.
 
^ I agree, 5mg of hydrocodone is nearly nothing but don't go back to any full agonists. Continue your taper, like a few days more on 0,5mg, then 0,25 for a few and then maybe even 0,125 on the last ones (if thats possible with the strips, I don't know them).

You can also take a one day break in between before ingesting the ultimate final dose, depending on how you feel.

I for example have only 3mg of normal Subutex left (1mg nasally a day) and will do it like 1mg/0,75/0,5/0,25/0,25,0,125/0,125.
If you can get access to Gabapentin or Lyrica they are a great help, better than Benzos imo and not that dangerously addictive (but still...).

Definitely wise to jump off now. Good luck and keep on posting :)

I use Sarotex (amitriptyline) now and really helps my opiate craving, maybe an antidepressant (SSRI or TCA) can help you to say no when offered opiate (freebies).
Maybe you should avoid situations and people who are still using opiates and keep offering you, eventually you will get stronger.
 
I've been on subutex for five years now (since January '08). 4mgs a day. The two vics were prob not enough since you were taking subs. Subs are much stronger and have a longer half-life. If you are trying to taper, just stick with the subs over those short acting opiates. You won't hardly feel anything from them and I would be very surprised to hear if they would help much with your wd's. stick with the subs and taper as you planned.
