I tried to switch from a 3 week 3 bundle a day (shitty dope) habit to subs today I took my last dose a full bun of the garbage that barley got me high and went to sleep I woke up (with hours of forced sleep) at around 2pm putting me at around 14 hours since last use. I took 4mg didn’t feel better took another 4mg and got thrown into precipitated Withdrawals. Completely unbearable so I broke down went and copped 3 buns and used it all within 4 hours never getting high but forcing myself out of withdrawals. I took my last dose of one bun at 7pm (slightly felt warm for 5 min) and has nothing left. My question is he(it) safe to wake up and again try and induce myself onto subs. what should I do? Please help...

Calm down first of all. You need at least 24-36 hours before going on subs. That's why you went into precipitated withdrawals.
 
I'd suggest tapering your H use to the point of using just enough to not be sick with clean receptors (meaning w/ out sub blocking anything). Then wait 24 hrs or as long as u can stand it and it should be ok. The ceiling effect of sub means at its max power sub is equal to about 30mg methadone. I'm thinking no matter how much sub u take right now it won't equal what your body is currently use to with a bun/day habit so that equals PWD.
 
nyguy5 I edited your post for you.
This is not the norm, but thought I would give you a break if you promise to read the links I mentioned in the "edit".

Hope you get well soon.
 
dude you should wait atleast 24 hours after your last dose, especially if your doing several bundles of dope a day. precip w/d sucks more than normal early stage w/d, so wait until you're withdrawing so bad it wouldn't be possible to be withdrawing more, or if you don't mind risking it than wait 24 hours. if your having a hard time sticking it out you can try some benzos, lope, dxm, or clonidine to make it more barable. by doing those last 3 bundles you pretty much reset the clock, although the sub is in your system so it will be a little easier.

so wait 24 hours, from your post about using 4 bundles in a day I think your a prime candidate for suboxone. best of luck, and remember to wait!
 
I wish you the best of luck, but please take this time to read through the BLUA (Bluelight User Agreement) and OD Guidelines as you agreed to upon creation of your account, as you are violating guidelines left and right.

Please do not post again until you've read the BLUA and OG Guidelines, the links can be found in my signature.

Thanks and welcome to Bluelight.
