Have you thought about dosing at a higher dose? There is no shame in admitting you need, say, 8mg to hold you 24 hours.

This was my first experience with suboxone/bupe. I had heard it could be used in minimal amounts, but I think I was just too overexcited. I only had two of them, and figured it would be enough, though now I figured out I could find more if need be. I would much rather use 8mg if it will work.
Since it has been about 6 hours since my last dose of .5mg, and 11.5 hours since my initial dose, would it be alright to redose a little higher at 12 hours?
If I was smoking a decent amount of dope, or doing a decent amount of painkillers, there is a low risk of harm right? It has been 36 hours since my last dose of H if that matters also.
Maybe I just feel like it is fiendish because I have been sitting up all night tossing and turning, switching on and off the tv and reading, so it seems like I've just been doing nothing but thinking about getting relief...

i love it! Xanax is the perfect complement to the bupe, it seems to keep everything smoothed out. Every time i dose i take .25 mg(xanax). i wish you the best, thanks for keeping everyone updated.Hello fellow bupe/sub, brothas & sistas,
Well, as I said yesterday, I would inform everyone of how my taper has gone.
Last night, I watched the football game & had a couple of liquory drinks, took my melatonin for the night and fell asleep sometime around 1:15a.m.. I purposely set my alarm for 9:30a.m. because I had a prescription to go refill at CVS (no, nothing fun, just hydrocortisone suppos') and some errands to run.
I've been up since then and feeling good, actually. I can feel a little stiffness in my legs, but I'm about to pop two Advil, and .25mg of Xanax to assist me for the day. I'll keep you all posted as the day rolls on.
I don't want to go back on junk or bupe again. I'm willing to live my life clean and productively. I haven't been able to accomplish anything when I'm on any substance. Basically, if the W/Ds are about to get tough, then I'll man it up and push through.
What is this baclofen of which you speak? Even though it does nothing for you, i'd still like to hear what it's intended effects are. My conversations with my doctor go like this: How are you feeling? Fine, O.K. i guess.... Well, nice talking to you, are there any other prescriptions you need? Where was this guy 10 years ago, goddamn it!
^Yes. You won't be pushing through anything at that dose as that is not nearly enough to cover enough receptors to block any opiate from attaching to the remaining open receptors. You have to be on a fairly high dose to saturate your receptors to the point of blocking other opiates...
back on the subs againon day 5, this time getting back on was a lot easier cause I only went back to the oxys for a week or so. My connection is having a lot of trouble getting oxys now, so I have a feeling my time with opiates willl be coming to an end anyways
I have a question, and I know everyone's body chemistry is different, so all i'm asking for is speculation.
I started Bupe at 4mg, and tapered down to 1mg. This process was from last Feburary till the present. During the past couple months, I would use my DOC once per week, then go back on Bupe.
I am attempting to see how it is to live without any substances. I haven't taken any bupe since last thursday. I have however, taken between 60-90mg of oxycodone everyday since friday.
Today will be day 6 without bupe, and day 1 without any opiates.
Should I expect withdraw? For some reason, I have a feeling I am going to get off very lightly...Before going on bupe I had a much higher tolerance than 60-90mg of oxycodone, and I feel like if anything I might just feel a slight discomfort and maybe the runs and a little rls. Nothing unbearable.
Am I correct in thinking this? Or should I prepare for full out withdraw?
So I don't know where else to ask and get a response decently soon. Here is my timetable of the night:
0:00 - Snorted 1mg Suboxone
1:50 - Snorted .5mg Suboxone
5:00 - Snorted .5mg Suboxone
So altogether I had 2mg of suboxone tonight. It has been 11 hours since I snorted the first dose, and I still have withdrawal symptoms. I have the headache, slight sweats, CRAVINGS, rls, and bad insomnia. I can't sleep at all, which is pretty brutal. I can feel that it is taking away the symptoms, but I don't know if I should redose, or the constant redosing is just my addictive personality.
I mean, it isn't like it could be wearing off this quickly. So is it that I didn't take enough? Did I space it out so much that it isn't working as effectively? Am I on a good dose and just snorting more because I'm having cravings and trying to satisfy(which I never will)?
Thanks for the help guys. Maybe I just should expect the kicking feeling still, but damn I was hoping that grabbing these was allowing me to sleep, wear dry clothes, and not have my neck feel like it got hit with a hammer.
Registered in the vein in the hinge of the elbow, saw the flash, drew back saw dark red, began to plug, no burning etc... Pull out there is drop of blood on tip of rig... NO stinging etc.. Wake up this morning, no lump but a single hardspot in middle of redness... no abcess i can tell so im thinking, it's a case of cellulitis below (toward wrist) iv site. Kind of warm to touch, kept heat pad on it all mornin til now.. About to put ice on it. Cant tell if size has changed. I have the following antibiotics on hand. 18 100mg doxycycline. 21 500mg amoxicillin. 3 500mg cipro. Should I start a self course of antibiotics/nsaids?? Advice is appreciated.
