Need Help Determining when suboxone will wear off

[llbthatsme]

Hello all. I've read these forums a lot over the years, but just joined bc I really need advice. I know you probably see many posts like this, but be nice to the noob girl.

Basically, I usually take morphine abt 60mg a day. I was given an 8mg sub which was of great help bc I wouldve been very sick. So, I took 2mg IV sunday night, and again Monday morning. This morning (tuesday) I did probably 1.5mg bc I don't want to end up not feeling pills when I get them. I have 2mg left. I have all day tomorrow with nothing (or some of the sub.) In about 42 hrs, I will have my doc.

So should I try to not take sub tomorrow?
Keep in mind, I took it IV. I am female abt 150 lbs, usual dosage 60mg morphine.

What should I do to make sure I feel other opes thursday morning?

If I do NOT take any more sub at this point, do you think I will feel morphine ok?

Thanks for your help. I do consider myself informed when it comes to these matters, but I REALLY don't wanna mess this up. Nice to meet you and thanks again.

Hey im sorry for the slow reply. I hope you didnt take the sub today. Wether you did or didnt, go to walmart and buy a bottle of MSM. Its a supplement, very safe, take 6-10 a day with liquid. Its water soluble. It will detox your body. If youve only taken sub for a couple three days, it wont take long to detox, but for at least 24hrs i would not waste your doc. It may take up to 3 days for you to get full effects of doc. If you do small amounts of your doc, it will keep wds at bay, that may be the best idea to do for say 48hrs. I hope u didnt take the sub today, but i realize i am late replying. The msm will detox any chemicals stored in your cells, and buprenorphine (subox) stores in your fat cells and can take a long time to clear your system. The msm will put it in your bloodstream to filter it, so it may extend the time it takes to go into wds, but will clear you of it quicker. Also, kombucha tea if you can find some. It flushes your liver. So does high doses of vit c. Look up the vit c for an exact amount. It took me quite a few days to get the full effect after sub, but i took 8mg daily. Its best to steer from sub if possible. Id give it 24hrs before you try, anyway. Some people can do sooner after small doses, but to be safe. Let me know how it goes!

Sorry for MY late reply! I really appreciate all the advice!

It's been a couple weeks, so I'm trying to remember specifically how it all unfolded.


I gave away about half of the 2mg I had saved, so I had, well more like .75mgs saved.

I made it all through Tuesday on the 1.5 sub that morning. Was feeling just fine, not high, not super sick- almost normal!!

Tuesday night, well, I kinda fucked up and smoked a certain upper. I really don't mess with it, but the opportunity was there. Sigh. So I hadn't slept well Monday night due to insufficient meds (not sick but hard to sleep.) Maybe 3 hrs sleep that night. And of course, I did not sleep tuesday night either. I didn't do much, but it doesn't take much. I THINK I dozed off for about an hour... but in the morning I was feeling really rough. Still kinda high from the shitty, and very emotional!!! I was really distraught. I felt like I wouldn't make it through the day without it. So, I broke down, and I did the sub...

It helped me tremendously on that emotional level. I stopped tearing up over everything. Once at work, a friend gave me half of an OP 20. I did that- of course felt nothing, too low of a dose either way, but it helped overall I'm sure.

I slept ok (from exhaustion) that night and woke up and fetched DOC. I started off with 45mg shot (ir's). I felt it. I didn't feel it THAT great, I mean, there was a rush, for sure, warmth, contentedness, but I do believe doing that teeny tiny piece of sub Wednesday morning DID somewhat diminish the effects of DOC 24hrs later.

Now, I realize this is a specific set of circumstances, but hopefully, it will be a part of what people compile when they have the same problem.

I would love to avoid subs all together, but sometimes it seems a hell of a lot better than the alternative.
