Hey guys,
Damn I really wish I wasn’t here asking this right now but I am... I’m going to make a long story short in that I am likely looking at a pretty major surgery with some decent recovery time afterwards.
What scares me is that over 10yrs ago I was addicted to heroin, I quit by the time I was 20 and have been on low dose Suboxone ever since. At the moment I take roughly 1mg Suboxone a day.
In this day and age of opioid induced fear (rightfully so to some extent) im afraid that I may be flagged in their system and not treated appropriately with the proper medications. Im also afraid of how my Suboxone might interact with any medications they give me during anesthesia.
Due to my fears of not getting proper treatment, im also planning on procuring a reasonable amount of opiates myself to deal with this pain.
So here are my questions...
1.) Will low dose (1mg) of buprenorphine/Suboxone have any effect on the anesthesia I may receive? Is it possible to get through this without mentioning it? I have family that work in the hospital, me “coming out” about my past would add a whole nother layer to this shit pie. (I live in a completely different state now, and am hoping my medical past hasn’t followed me either.)
2.) Has anyone here tried Dibenzoylmorphine and/or dihydromorphine? @Limpet_Chicken? I saw limpet has tried the former but his bioassays were all over the place.
3.) If someone were to guess based on either experience or pharmacological knowledge, which would be the best choice for fighting pain while keeping drowsiness to a minimum?
Choices are; crude full spectrum poppy alkaloid extract, pure morphine, dibenzoylmorphine or dihydromorphine?
My guess is that dihydromorphine would likely be the best of the bunch but there’s almost no info out there on it. Extrapolating from codeine, it may be twice as potent as morphine.
That said a crude extract may be more beneficial with its extra alkaloids, although I’m not sure..
Any help on any of these questions would be appreciated. Especially those that have been on suboxone before and needed to get surgery done. I just worry the sub will block the more needed pain killers. Thanks.
