Hey, I've asked this question a bunch of times with no answer, just wondering of you can help me out. So...I was just about done with my withdrawl from heroin (9 days), and I was expecting that I only had about a few more days left. BUT, I took suboxone on that ninth day...and also the 12th day. I haven't touched sub for a few days now, I'm on my 16th day but I'm still withdrawing baaaarely. My question is.... did that sub I took make my body think I took h and now I will have to withdrawl for another two weeks or so, or did that sub just make me feel fine for a few days then I go back to kicking for just a few more.days. basically I want to know how that sub I took on the trail end of my withdrawl affected me. Any help will ne grateful, thanks.
 
I would say u ansered you're own question.Subs is not a full mu agonist so it is not the same as doin dope i asked this ? b4 also.

Its obviously better to not take the subs but its forsure better to "relapse" on subs then on dope.

Good luck bro your almost there!!
 
Taking any form of opiate will PROLONG your withdrawals, but will not completely RESET them. You're way past the hard part now, you should only have a few days left of any noticeable physical effects, and a few weeks of mental effects. I'd highly recommend getting some benzos to coast through the next week (Xanax, Valium, etc.) or so but make sure not to get hooked on them, benzo withdrawals are a nightmare too.


edit : forgot to wish you luck, you've gotten through the hardest part by far, you have a lot to be proud of. Stay strong!
