I normally wait 24 hours after last dose of h and start my subs and have always been fine. This past week I tried induction and was sick despite trying 3 8mg strips of suboxone over about 6 hours. I took my first strip about 27-28 hours after last dose of h. I had just started to feel sick and took right away. I felt normal for about an hour or two and then I got pretty sick. Tried another strip, and an hour later another for a total of 3 whole strips over 6 hours. After waiting about 12 hours after first strip, I gave up and I dosed h again and it took quite a bit to feel normal (like 3x normal dose and still was meh til next day) now this weekend I want to attempt induction again.
I know what severe precipitated withdrawal is, one time, when I didn't know any better, I tried a sub 12 hours after last dose of h and went into severe withdrawals - it wasnt this bad (unless precipitated withdrawal can vary in degree depending how much h is still in your system)
The problem - I accidently left my subs hidden in a jacket under the seat of my car for a few weeks in summer 80 deg heat. They don't appear to be melted, faded, dry or cracked in any way. Is it possible I went through precipitated withdrawal but it wasnt as bad as that one experience since it was much later? Or is it more likely the subs are bad from the heat? I cant get more subs til after next weekend at earliest. I feel liie even if they were bad from heat they would work just be weaker? And I took too early? Whats a safe # to be on the COW sheet I see sooo many conflicting answers.
I realize any help is just suggestions since no one can no for sure, just wondering whats most likely since I never had this happen in the dozen times or so Ive done subs. I have found the COW sheet and will follow that for induction this time to be safe, although I see so many different recommendations for whats a good time to start /shrug. Thanks for reading and any help!
