Bupe How long?

I was going to try suboxone and broke up a 1mg piece into 2 separate piles and in 1 pile was broken up into 5 little pieces. I took one and put it under my tongue and then a flake before that to see what it tasted like. Sent me into a full blown panic attack and have been anxious since 2pm and it's now 6pm. I've got dry mouth and nausea on and off with SOME real pain reduction (most of it comes from anxiety itself as pain tolerance comes in and out depending on my anxiety). So assuming I took maybe .4mg(highly unrealistic) at most how long does one figure this will go away?

I understand it's got 24 hour half life but this is driving me insane. I just want to sleep it off but I'm still shaking from anxiety and keep getting panic attacks which feels like a psychosis. I know I'm all here mentally and can act perfectly natural but out of desperation I made this thread. I guess I don't really expect much help but this mentally exhausting beyond comprehension. I thought this would help my anxiety not put in a whole new hell.

Here I thought this would make me feel decent or just give me some type of good feeling LOLOLOLOL I was wrong. This sucks beyond belief.

I looked and didn't find anything so I'm assuming no, is there anything I can do anything to get this out of my system faster, that'd be great.

get rid of the rest of it immediately.
get your hands on X amount of benzo to sedate you for 12-24 hrs.
never take it again.
good luck, that sucks.
 
No benzos. I only took it because I couldn't get cash out and grab some beer and have been out of bud for over a month. I appreciate the help but that almost sent me into a panic attack lol. I'm trying to be positive and remain calm as of the past 5min I've been able to do so and it's the closest thing I've been to sane since the past few hours. How I described in my previous post is putting it lightly. I'm sure everyone would freak out and ask to get medical treatment if I told them how I was dealing with the anxiety and stress. But obviously was just a coping mechanism and shouldn't be concerned.

Thank you for your wishes and would still appreciate other feedback.
 
had you been on any other opioid before taking the sub? I doubt such a small amout would put you into preceipitated withdrawals, but it sounds like that's what you might be experiencing. good luck my friend
 
Nope. I've been like 3, 4 years sober and only flirted with opiates. Codeine or hydrocodone couple times a week for a month or two, morphine once, and oxy once.
 
I'm assuming it's just my anxiety. Pretty sure this means my drug experimentation days are over. Never was really addicted to anything and had quite a few things I've wanted to try but always scared to do em ever since my first panic attack. Oh well, nothing I can really do if even an opiate doesn't kill the anxiety. Thanks for the help and time.
 
I've heard of bupe causing this reaction in some people... totally sucks and it might not even happen again (not that I advise doing it again). Some people report experiencing this even after having been using bupe for a while.

Try and remain calm, take deep breaths, read a book, and lay down.

It'll pass.

Well, it didn't even have to kick in to trigger the attack. I sampled it, felt panic and it died down because it was only a flake and then put the other bit under my tongue from there it only took maybe 5min before I started having an attack. For awhile when I was having fun with adderall, tramadol(first attack ever), and pretty much other stuff I'd be anxious but once it kicked in I was all good and was relaxed and happy. I figured it'd be the same with this but NOPE. So 99% it's just me and if I were to do something I've experienced before I'd be fine. Interesting to know that others have had this reaction though.

Luckily I can remain calm now but before that was not even possible it was borderline psychosis(common for me). No panic attacks anymore but just riding out the anxiety train. Too bad it's got just a long half life XD oh well. I was excited because I've heard it has great anti depressant effects but I guess options are limited when just about any foreign substance (food, vitamins, ect) can trigger these damn attacks. Wish I at least had fear of what triggers them instead of just happening...because. There's no consistency, they just happen even though I'm not fearful of anything, they just happen.

It sounds to me like you need to go see a doctor about these issues. Sounds like it's really disruptive to your daily life. I'm sorry to hear that this shit is going on man, I have similar problems to you, and I know anxiety can be hell. Good luck man, best wishes.
 
It's because the subs keep you aware as you fall asleep, so you actually get to feel what it's like. Falling asleep sucks...feels like shit, you normally don't feel it because you pass out before, but it's quite close to how death would feel. It's a fucked up sensation.
 
it sounds like you took too much bupe for your lack of tolerance i've given people low doses of bupe who haven't done many opiates and they got sick as shit and that caused them to have panic attacks

If I took too much I'm sure I'd get sick and as of right now I still don't feel anything good just anxiety. My pain tolerance hasn't really gone up or anything (I kept testing). I mean, I feel some effect from it but it's faint with NO positive effects. I've basically been just trying to survive this experience more than enjoy it since there isn't a single part of enjoyment even when I'm NOT anxious.
For the record, the spec was extremely tiny, EXTREMELY I could've had at like 50 of them out of the half the 8mg pill that was given to me. Plus, I spit it out halfway LOL. I honestly didn't even think I'd feel anything because it was such a small amount. I was still in the phase of "do I want to try this or not" did it half assed like, it was pretty pathetic if anyone was to actually see me.


try taking a hot shower. it seems to relax me no matter what mood im in.
I do this while it kicks in, I found this to be a secret trick but I've been pretty calm for the past couple hours, I recently started getting anxious again :( damn half life. I'm pretty damn tired but too anxious to go to sleep and I'm only 10 hours into my experience so hopefully in a few hours or shorter I can lay down. Otherwise if I lay down feeling anxious I'll randomly feel it kick in and it'll scare me and possibly throw me into another panic attack.

Or maybe a good wank?
lol wouldn't help even if I could manage it.

Drugs wouldn't help as that'd only help trigger it plus I'm not scared I get random triggers for attacks with lasting anxiety, I'm not in a constant state of anxiety like I once was say, 6 months ago. 6 months ago I literally clung to survival every single day. Mind you, I've been a rather healthy person without fear. This was a very strange thing to happen to me of all people.
Also, therapy wouldn't help because there's nothing a therapist could tell me that would change anything. Plus, I lost my job due to anxiety about 6 months ago with no insurance and the only free clinic has a huuuge wait time.
