Heroin Heroin detox question, help!

[j-bd87]

I would like to know what I am in for so please send your thoughts...but let me give you some backround first.

I am 5'll/120 pounds
I smoked H for a few months daily at about .2 a day
I then only used .2mg of Suboxone daily for 3 months...so I was addicted to Sub
I then went back to smoking H for about 4 months daily...while using a syringe for the last 2 months. .2mg - .4mg a day,
I used Suboxone at about once a week or once every two weeks during the last two months when I didn't have H. I had to use about 4 or 8 or 12 mg for it to work because I had been shooting H around this time.
So I am assuming i was not addicted to Sub AT ALL because I was addicted to H back again these past two months.
And when i did kick these past two months for only a few hours at a time every now again when i had nothing it would be pretty bad.

Now here is my history of the last few days that i had been trying to detox...from H, not Suboxone.

Wensday- 7:00 p.m. my last .2 mg shot of Heroin

Thursday - 12:00 noon 16mg of Suboxone under my tounge

Friday- I figured the sub would be out of my system by now and i would be starting to kick...but I barely barely kicked at all

Saturday- still I am baaarely kicking until at around 11:00 p.m. i started to kick a little more but still baarely

Sunday- Its 11:00 p.m. and I still am Baaarely withdrawing at all

Since I was not addicted to Sub these past months, does that mean the last time i did Sub thursday meant that covered some of my withrdrawl from H? I thought that would only postpone my withdrawl.
I thought This would be Hell but its nothing and its been like 3 or 4 days now.
Whats going on?
DId i just not use that much H to have a bad withdrawl or do you think it is goint to start to be bad monday or tuesday or what?
HELP!

your body is addicted to opiates in general. Not just heroin or suboxone. The suboxone just stays in your system much longer, so probably sometime today (Monday) you will start feeling the withdrawal symptoms. be extremely careful because if you want to quit, you may need to use suboxone again but a much lowered dose.

What is it with you saying .2 or .4 mg? There is NO WAY of knowing how much H you are actually shooting because of the purity, or having a scale and knowing the actual weight of what you are using. Please clarify so that us BL'ers may give a better answer in helping you out.

^^ Yes, the suboxone has a much longer halflife. I'm thinking you would be feeling a bit ill by now. Wish you the best getting through this. ~theresa

thats been quite a while to not be in withdrawal, you haven't been using that long again and befgore that you were only using .2 mg of subs which is barely any so you might actually be off the hook as far as withdrawals go, maybe a few more days of some minor withdrawals if they don't kick in by tommorow I would say you are in the clear

So it's monday evening now and I'm feeling still a little bit of withdrawls but I'm thinking I am in the clear pretty much. Sub would NOT last this long. And by now Heroin should be out of my system pretty much. So I'm thinking I'm in the CLEAR! Hell ya, I was worring about detox for a YEAR!
And to punchednthenose.... i was shooting a piece of tar that weighed .2...it was pretty good dope, standard I'd say...so that's how much i was using.

16mg of Suboxone seems like an awful lot to take when you were only using .2-.4 per day of heroin. When I detoxed using suboxone I had been using 4-8 bags of NJ dope, so on average about 6 bags which is supposed to be .1/bag, though it isn't always that way. At that time I only needed 2mg of sub per day to feel fine. I'd be willing to bet you could get by on that as well and if not, you'd definitely be able to make it on 4mg/day. 16mg is just unnecessary unless you have some obscenely high tolerance to opiates. Since you took such a high dose at first, this is probably why you barely felt any withdrawal symptoms as the half life of the sub is quite long and you may have had enough sub in your system even by the Sunday to keep yourself out of the worst of withdrawals.
