Opioids How long until I can use again (single dose) without the consequenses?

[Rush2113]

I was snorting oxycodone 30s for a few weeks, not quite a month. Tried to use suboxone to avoid the withdrawals but failed. Only snorted the suboxone in very, very small doses when I felt it was necessary (3 times over 2 days). I realized it was just prolonging the withdrawals and prepared for the miserable days ahead. My last dose of suboxone was Tuesday April 24th at 7am. The only drug I used during the withdrawals was xanax to calm me down and help me get some sleep. I eventually cut down on the xanax and only used to try to get some sleep. Like any other drug I knew it was best to stop taking the xanax and try to sleep on my own. Two nights ago I feel asleep on my own but woke up around 3am and couldnt fall back asleep so I took a small dose. Last night, I fell asleep on my own again and woke up around 4am but didnt take anything and fell back into some form of sleep. At 7am this morning it has been 8 days clean for me. I haven't felt any physical withdrawal symptoms in a few days. However, I have been really emotional the past two days though, dwelling on my problems and then crying. No sign of that this morning, but I know from experience that PAWS can come and go in waves. So my ultimate question is, if I were to use oxycodone today in a single dose, would I go back into physical withdrawals? I know its not the best idea but, I have enjoyed opiates in moderation in the past and plan on doing the same. Thanks to anyone who tries to help. God Bless

I'd take a few more days off, make sure you are in the clear completely first.

Possibly. Probably.

There are always consequences my friend. How bad they get are going to depend on your body chemistry, so it's not really an answerable question by anyone other than you. Maybe you can snort a 30 or 3 and be fine, maybe you wake up all those receptors that have been recovering and sleeping for the past week and go into a full blown w/d again.

I commend your 8 days clean and getting past the physical w/d, it's not easy. The emotional crap lasts a lot longer. Try not to dwell on problems, and if you have some serious shit going on that would make you emotional anyway, keep that in mind.
