Ok guys, I got a couple questions about suboxone. Long story short, I'm in chronic pain and my doctors don't do anything to manage my pain, so I've been self medicating for the last 2 years with various pills, but more consistently with 30mg oxycodone. My tolerance was fairly high towards the end of me taking the oxy, as in 120mg a day. I would take one 30, 4× a day.
Anyways, so when I ran out, and i couldn't get anymore I started to panic. Not because of withdrawals or anything, but because I couldn't stand being in horrific debilitating pain so I went to see this sketchy suboxone doctor who eventually prescribed me 8/2 subs. I've read that bube, and especially suboxone work really well for chronic pain, and to my surprise it did! Well, I broke the 8mg pills into quarters and have probably been taking 8mg total throughout a day, so 24 hours. I haven't taken any opioids in over 2 weeks, and also I want to make it clear that i experienced ZERO withdrawals when I ran out of my oxy and went on the subs. Don't know if I'm lucky or what, but I went to the subs for chronic pain, NOT addiction, or withdrawal.
My questions are now that I'm taking 8mg in 24 hours, is that somehow going to block the pain relief of the oxy? I haven't taken any opioids in over 2 weeks so should my tolerance have significantly dropped?
I dont really understand this class of drug, but the doctor was telling me if I take any opioids with the suboxone in my system then I would go into full blown withdrawal. I have actually never experienced opioid withdrawal in my life, and I have taken large amounts for consecutive months and just stopped no problem. Can someone please explain how this works, and if I would be ok to use the oxy with the subs still in my system.
Thanks in advance for any replys. To a self medicating rookie in search for some decent advice.
