Hello freinds

If I posted this in the total wrong place, please feel free to move it.

Anyhows.
Saturday-sunday I guess I took about 4mg Subutex. Before that, I had a 8 days break from sub.
Now, today, Thursday, I took around ~3.5mg Subuxone. Hopefully last time, ever.

The thing that is really worrreying me now is.
During wednsday (in 6 days), Im going to have a preliminary examination on my eyes.
The examination is to se if Iam a patient possible to do the LASEK eye operation. If they will notice that my eyes are very constricted, I will probably not be allowed to do my LASEK operation, or pay $150 just to come back another time for another examination when ive been without opiats for a longer time.
This operation is something Ive dreamed about of for so long. Cant understand how I can be so stupid to take Sub only 6 days before.
But however. 6 days before my examination will be my last intake of subuxone. And that was around ~3.7mg (today, thursday). + the ~4mg I took sat-sun day.

During the preliminary examination the doctors will to the regular eye-vision on distance test. But they will aso do a test of the reaction times of my pupils and the size of my pupils. If the are dilatioing and widening the same way as a healty and normal eye would.
Do you by any chans thing there is a possibility that the SUB still will constrict my pupils during wednsday? And the worst thing would be if the Sub-eyes are acting quite normal so the doctors wont se any different, and then sign me up for an operation that I in normal condition wouldnt be allowed to.

My withdrawal symptons are most often almost not noticable at all, except for depression mental, never gotten anything psyically. And I dont use any help until recently when I go off sub, now recently I startyed using clonazepam. Ill never called in sick from work during one of my sub "withdrawals". So im not really that in to Sub, hopefully wont ever be also. If that in information in any case could help you to judge my issue.

Ive heard that before you do the operation (in my case, this is only the preliminary examination for candidats for the operation). During the operation the doctors drop something in your eyes that make your pupil really expand, and if I then would be really high on Sub, they would probably not expand as much as the doctors wanted them to, nor expand at all.. And if they made the surgery with that. I have no Idea of the results, maybe I would go blind or something.


Excuse my horrible english and I hope anyone PLS could help me answer this question. Iam worried I fucked this up so much Iam littery climbing the walls in my room.

One more thing. Does anyone know how benzos (in fist hand clonazepam) effects your pupil?

Thank you for a very helpful forum and I would be crazy glad if someone could assist me, just with your toughts about this, no need to be a doctor. Just give it your thougts and from your experience about opiats and pupil sizes.

Good evening
 
if what you are saying is that you have 6 days til the eye exam and are not going to take any more opiates then your pupils will be fine...it doesnt affect your pupils much more than 24hr

yea they sometimes do put drops in your eyes to dilate them. if your really worried about this dont take anymore

benzos dont really affect your pupils.. at least not that i have noticed
 
Thank you for such an insurane and very fast repy!
But I can recall that after taking Sub, still having small pupils the day after...
And since SUb has such a long half-life :(

But after 6days, even thou I still got Sub in my blood. It shouldn't really affect my pupils huh?? :) :) :)
 
No, it won't. Not even a little bit. How do you even have a prescription for that if you don't have enough experience with opiates to know that?
 
I wouldn't worry because the eye doctor will put those drops in to dialate the pupils.
Try not to take any more opiates in the meantime. You'll do fine

I dont have a prescriotion. Buying on the streets. But actually I have realized that my pupils can stay smaller more than 24+ hours after last intake. And when I've been on Sub for more than one month (1.5months using every day up to 4mg/day is my "record" in everyday use, up to 8mg/day the last week). When I cut then it, I realized that after about 3 days my pupils actually got extra big for one or to days. Dont know why.
I've never used the tapper down method, always cold turkey. But thats probably because I try to stay in small doses and having regular brakes from it.

Anyway Well. Thanks everyone for all the answers. They're really helping, I was really worried before and this calms me down alot.

Off Topic:
Started smoking weed everyday, and just occasonially using opiats (not as heavy as Sub thou).
Then I meet a girl whom I started doing alot of uppers with. Still smoking everyday thou. Druing this time I was a college student. Me and my GF had a kind of drug relationship. We smoked everyday and occasinoally tradolan every second week and mephedrone ones a month.
We broke up, she left me with an apartment I couldnt afford cause I lost my college loan/stipendium. And thats when I got really depressed and started using more opiats and Subutex. At that time, sub was really helping me moving on. This was about 2 years ago.

Now, I have got the best girlfriend, I've bought an apartment, full time and absoulutely the finest friends whom doesent judge me at all for this. The're just triyng just to help me.
So I shouldnt be depressed because actually my life is allright right know. And I hope that if I could handle around 2 months without sub, I hope that the urge for it would get smaller and sooner disappaer.
As long as my life look like this, then I should have the ultimate surroundings to manage and quit it.

Once again, thanks for the support and help from everyone.
And if anyone is in the same situation with quiting as me, dont hesitate to send me an PM or just write in the thread. Its possible to quit sub without tapper off and substituion medecines. Of course depending on amount and how long you've been using. But it atleast I want to belive that it is possible to quit for everyone, no matter what doses and for how long voy've been on it.

Thanks again
