Bupe Day 3 on bupe not impressed

I'm not specifically looking to misuse my sub script 8mg film x2 daily. I had/have a reasonably hefty hydrocodone habit usually taken in 2 large doses taken per day anywhere from 200 to 250mg daily. So I felt like based on my readings that being prescribed 16mg of bupe a day was kinda overdoing it. The first dose of course my addict mentality said sure go ahead take the whole 8mgs it might make you a little sick but ehh such is life. So I take the 8mg strip and feel it within minutes starting to kick in and within an hour I was floored high off my ass walking around the house giggling and shit, immediately nodding out the second I would actually sit down, and even ended up vomiting about 6 hours into the experience so yesterday I cut 1 strip in half and dosed 4mgs about 8 hours apart with far less euphoria, but with similar nodding behavior. Day 3 comes around I say fuck it and eat the whole 8mg strip again for my first dose(havn't taken a second yet) It's been about 3 hours I notice some sedation but not much else, along with some cravings for a full agonist, which is the whole reason I started taking bupe to avoid the cravings and secondary depression and anxiety. Do people typically become accustomed to bupe this quickly? I really don't want a real 16mg a day bupe habit because I can realize that it should be waaay to much for the habit I have/had. Am I having some sort of atypical experience here? I know people use bupe recreationally I just don't see it. Every junky friend I have is blowin up my phone trying to get a strip(which they're not getting). People are crazy for this stuff I just don't get it. I was just hoping for more of an effect because if this is all there is to it I don't think it's gonna help me stay clean long term. Possibly related I'm trying to cut down on my Xanax habit at the same time which I don't really abuse too badly I don't think. I'm prescribed 1mg Xanax xr daily but I'm finding that that prescription is running a little light for having to try to detox off of opes along with my GAD so I've honestly been taking between 3 to 4 mg per day the past month or so, and I've only had 1mg today so maybe I'm dealing with some mild benzo withdrawl and the sub is only covering the opiod habit? I dunno but I am thoroughly unimpressed by suboxone at this point. Is it foolish for me to drop my Xanax dose like this while making the transition? I know this has been long and rambling. I appreciate anyone taking the time to read this, I'm trying to get my life back on track before it is forever ruined.
 
don't increase the benzos because you're decreasing the opis. that's just trading one addiction for another...
 
I dropped the Xanax dose it had just been slowly creeping up so I could try to sleep at night while I was trying to quit before I got on sub. I just took another mg to see if it would help.
 
Bupe is still better than being a pill addict. being sober is better than life on opiates IME
 
Even 8mg a day is a lot. Your not going to feel euphoric from your dose each day at that amount. If you get down to 4mg or less a day, you'll get a small little buzz when you take your dose but only for a couple of hours. You shouldn't be trying to chase the buzz though, it defeats the purpose of getting clean. read the mega thread on suboxone to learn more about how it works. If you've been taking 3-4 mg of Xanax ID take 2mg from now on then go down later.
 
Yeah. Bupe is great for some folks. Not so great a solution for others.. And tapering on bupe and benzos at the same time was a bitch! I was anxious and depressed almost all the time. I would pick one and taper down Slowly. My two pennies.
 
Well no one prescribes me that much Xanax esp now that my next visit with my pdoc I was gonna ask to go up Xanax or switch to something else, but now I'm gonna get to announce that Ive been placed on suboxone for pain pil abuse I doubt he will increase my Xanax, but I can seem go anywhere but up on them I don't even try to get high on them it has just slowly crept up I know how bad benzo withdrawl would be yuck it all just sucks. I'd like to switch to like kpins or something.
 
See mixed reviews I hear less is more from some people and from others I hear it's really recreational if you take a higher dose, all I know is what I'm prescribed and I have not come near exceeding that amount.
 
im confused, do you want to get clean or no as it seems u are looking to get a high from it..u said you expected to get more of an 'effect' from it but at the same time since u didnt u dont feel it will help you stay clean long term...hmmm
 
I dont know you and can only speak for myself when I say: because of the nature if bupe, it is a tool for getting your life back on track. If you are looking to do that and get a nice buzz, that is a conflict of interest. Going back and forth between bupe and full agonist opioids takes a toll on you mentally and physically... ime, methadone (maint) was the one drug that I actually got a decent high/buzz from while getting my starting to get my life back on track. I would never try to get high on bupe. Like, ever. The consequences are NOT worth the mildest of glows.
