Hello i need some help with this and hopefully i can get peoples opinions i have been a "H" addict since I was 18 I am now 32 and have been clean for about 5 yrs and i had a slip up about a week ago and went on a 6 day binge of low quality "H". I stopped and the next day i was sick so i took 1mg of suboxen and felt ok just not 100% then the next day i took 2mg and felt fine and today my 3rd day another 2mg my plan is to taper the 2mg within about a week. My question is here am i going to be sick or am i going to be sick and how bad for how long seeing as i was only on it for 6 days and it was low quality and im doing such a small amount of suboxen? I know everyone is different and i can only get opinions but maybe someone else has been through this very situation. Any help will be greatly appreciated thank you.
 
As you probably know, a lot of the withdrawal symptoms are mental, so understanding and really believing that the fact that you did such a small amount for such a short period means that you shouldnt have too bad of a time getting over it. You really shouldnt have too many symptoms, maybe some restlessness or minor anxiety, but thats about it. Maybe just grab something OTC to help you sleep (if you have that problem) and keep yourself clean from here on.
Best of luck to you
 
Thank you for your reply im just really nervous about withdrawing. Im such a baby when it comes to withdrawals. Like i said i took 2mg today and tomorrow 1mg and down from there by Friday i want that to be my last dose and then nothing for the weekend i want to bee almost normal by Monday for work. I have alot of things going for me nowadays cause ive been clean and if i fall back into that dark realm of active addiction im gonna lose it all and i cannot afford that. Id like to be down to.5 or.25 mg by fri so im not jumping off a high dose of 1 or 2mg. I figure cause im only using 1-1 1/2 8mg films its not gonna be bad i just dont want it to add together with the "H" i used and now its like getting high for 2 weeks instead of 6 days hopefully i can completely kick for the weekend
 
I think the tapering idea is a good one, but just make sure that you stick to your schedule. Keep the taper short and fast, and get off as soon as possible
 
you shouldn't worry too much. I don't think your withdrawal will be very severe, when I detoxed off of subs it was a piece of cake compared to something like methadone. and I agree, a lot of W/d is mental, so keep that in mind ;)
 
Thank you all for the support friday will be my last dose and then ill be going through the harder part for the weekend cause i have weekends off so hopefully i dont have many issues and this can all be put behind me. I had probation today and thought he was gonna give me a urine and he didnt thank god so now my only worry is getting past the withdrawal and dealing with work without losing any time cause i really cant afford it.
 
Cj so you really think that taking such a small amount for such a short period of time is going to be worse? im taking almost 1 1/2 8mg strips within 5 days you think that would postpone my withdrawals or make em easier when jump off .25mg of sub rather than go cold turkey? I felt it would have been easier the way i was going as long as i dont stay on the subs longer than that. Im just basically trying to do it like the detoxes do it just without checking myself in i really cant go to a detox right now and going cold turkey wont be good for work for me cause im a complete baby when it comes to withdrawal and i wouldnt even show up to work. Im just trying to make this easy as possible.
 
You only were using for 6 days this time, I'm sure if you stopped taking anymore suboxone you will be okay. If anything just try to get some comfort medicine.
The withdrawals for that long of use should only last a couple of days at most, IME.
Best of luck to you! I know how nasty H withdrawals can be. Sending you positive energy too!
 
Thank u so much for all the positive vibes. You guys r great. And yes only 6 days this go round.
 
If you use opiates you will always need to pay the piper. It is just what it is.

The withdrawals should not be so bad though. You are going to do fine. I suspect you will probably only experience sleeplessness, restlessness, and a little anxiety.
 
I dropped today and didnt feel any different. Dropping again 2morrow so hopefully im still good. Thank you all
