Going On vacation With Suboxone?

[allecw]

I currently have a 90 mg a day oxy habit and am going to see a suboxone doc on mon or tue. I will also be booking a vacation for jul 12. If he gives me 2mg subutex tablets like we talked about over the phone will i be good to go by then? Will I feel normal the first time I take it? I dont need to feel high I just want to feel normal. I wish I had some subutex to test before I throw all my money into it!

Last time I went on this same vacation I was going through slight hydro withdrawls and the vacation completly sucked! I was sick the whole time. I couldnt eat anything and I had terrible anxiety. I was also very moody and not very fun to be around. If all goes right I might have a legit opiate to bring with me this time. Last time I was scared to take any opiates on a plain. I have since gotten over that fear going on several flights and seeing that they dont really check you prescriptions anyways. Still it would feel real nice to have a legit script anyways.

I hope im not giving suboxone too much credit to help me here! This reminds me of when I was reading about Tramadol and thought it would be a miracle drug for me. I tried it and couldnt wait for it to wear off!

can anyone here please give me there opinion on my situation? i know i can find a lot of info about subs searching bl which i have done but sometimes it feels better when someone is telling me personally. like what the transition is like for most people. do most people feel pretty good within a couple of days? will i be zombied out on this medication, or is there a possibility i will have more energy?

i am really really looking forward to going out of town in a week! this will be the first thing i have done in a while considering i have been wasting all my money on drugs for quite a while now. if this subutex works it will save me a lot of money!

another small question. would it be ok to fill a subutex script at the same pharmacy i get my klonopin from? i do not want my other doctor to know anything about this. will the pharmacy care if i get another script like this from another doc?

1: the subutex will prevent you from experiencing withdrawal and because you are naive to it, you may also get a pretty decent buzz from it. at the very least, you will feel 'normal.' your mood will probably be lifted and you should get a nice energy boost as well.

2: because you don't have too hefty of a habit, the transition should be pretty smooth. just make sure you are in mild oxycodone withdrawal before starting the subutex or you could experience precipitated withdrawal (though this isn't all that bad). the worst part (in my opinion) about using bupe is the cravings i still sometimes have for getting high, or at least i think about it sometimes. other than that, i have no complaints. the first few days are the hardest because feeling 'normal' can get rather dull when you're used to being fucked up all day, but after that it's smooth sailing.

3: it's perfectly fine to fill your script at the same pharmacy where you fill other medications. there is no reason for the pharmacy to 'care' that you are doing so, or for them to notify either of your doctors. benzodiazepines are also commonly prescribed with bupe so you really shouldn't worry about it. no 'red flags' will be raised.

lastly, congrats on wanting to get clean and for taking this step. you can do it! i am currently using suboxone for oxycodone addiction as well, so feel free to message me for advice or support anytime (well, once you get to BL'er status- otherwise i can get with you in here for the time being). also- check out the suboxone megathread in OD (other drugs), there is literally TONS of information, advice, and support in there along many people in the same boat as you and others who have been through it.

hope all goes well and you have a great vacation. good luck to you!

Thanks for the answers hellocatastrophe! I literally have nobody to talk to about any of this. I have somehow hidden my opiate addiction for the last couple of years from everyone I know! It felt great to even talk to he lady over the phone.

would it be ok to take immodium the morning I go in? i would guess that I could but I know it is in some form an opiate so im not sure.

this morning i tested what i would feel like going into the meeting on monday. right now its 10am and i feel terrible! the meeting is tommorow at 11am. they said i didnt have to be in withdrawls but i want to take this medicine as soon as possible!

i wish i had lots of roxis today so i could atleast go out in style tonight but i dont really have that much at all! just enough to keep me out of withdrawls and its july 4th! Ive even thought about taking my suboxone doc money and buying some roxis but so far i havent. I hope I hold out!
