Hi there,
I am posting this as homeless, because my laptop is confused and doesn't want to take me to the suboxone thread. So, I am hoping some kind soul in bluelight cyberspace will help direct it where it needs to go.
Well, any help at all will be appreciated on this matter. Since September, I have been taking 16mg suboxone, but this past Monday, I was admitted to the hospital for emergency surgery, and was given morphine the entire time I was there (through yesterday afternoon, which was a total of 3 days). Now, I was a good girl; before they gave me the morphine, I was honest with them about my situation and told them they needed to contact my Sub doc first, which they did. My sub doc told them the morphine would be fine, it just wouldn't be as effective. But damn, just 2-4mg of morphine made me feel so damn good! Anyway, the sub doc also told ME to obviously not take suboxone while being given morphine, and to wait 12 hours after my last dose of anything opiate to take suboxone. Well, the hospital gives me 5/325mg Percocets (30 of them) to take home, so what do you think I'm gonna take? The percs of course. So, of course the percs really have no effect, though, I found out, after all the suboxone and morphine. My last morphine dose was at 10am yesterday (Thursday) morning. I took 3 percocets at around 8pm last night, which did literally nothing. I went to bed around 10pm, and have been up since about 1am sweating, chest pounding, tossing and turning, and having the most uncomfortable withdrawal-type feelings. A part of me wants to wait til 8 am to take my suboxone, and another part of me doesn't know if there will be enough shit outta my system to take it without going into the precipitated withdrawal shit. It is now 5am and I am hurting.
So, my question: Has anyone here had any experience with this? Have you been on subs for a while and then taken an opiate like that? How long should you wait before taking suboxone again? I don't feel like I can wait much longer. Any advice? Thanks so much!
