Hi (:
So I've posted a couple times before about being on a wait list for sub treatment.
I've been using opiates for going on 10 years. I finally got called to be assessed & start sub treatment.
I did my assesment last week, met with my counselor yesterday & Friday I have an appointment to get the suboxone from a doctor. The clinic says they like you to wait 48 hours before inducting yourself. ( It is NOT an in office induction).
So I get my meds on Friday and my hectic schedule for treatment starts Monday. I have a one on one Monday afternoon & Tuesday I have my first 3 hour group meeting ( I have to do 3 of these 3 hour meets & one 1on1 session a week to stay compliant).
My question is.. Being on around 70 mg a day of hydrocodone a day, how will I feel 2 days after I induct? Normal? I'm not sure my dose yet.
I start feeling mild withdrawal 3 hours after my last dose, 24 hours I'm full blown, no sleep, anxiety, pain, the whole 9. Do I HAVE to wait 48 hours before induction even when I'm on a short acting opiate like dro?
Please don't try & discourage me from trying subs, I've tried everything else & I don't feel I'm trading something "mild" for a worse drug. I'm using it as a tool to feel well enough to get much needed outpatient treatment.
Any sub users out there who started on lower scale opiates? How did YOU feel? How long did YOU wait?
Any advice? I'm nervous & excited.
Not sure if I should induct over the weekend or stop on Thursday, drag my corpse to the dr & induct Friday after I have my script filled.. I just want to feel good come Monday when my 4x a week sessions start.
Sorry for rambling & any replies are appreciated (:
 
I used subs coming off oxy and didn't wait even a whole day before induction. So if you feel full-blown w/d symptoms after 24 hours I think you should be safe to start then as opposed to the full 48.
 
Do you feel pretty good on sub? I need my energy back! I feel like I have little ambition & barely want to get out of bed every morning.
I've heard people say they make you feel energized & clear headed? I know some heavy users who say they didn't like it. Beings I'm just on dros you think I'll feel good starting the sub?
I think I'll start Thursday so I don't piss the weekend away feeling all sick to induct. I just like to delay the inevitable lol

my two cents
You'll have more energy for a while but then it will level off and you will be back in a similar place to where you are at now.
I never liked the way subs made me feel mentally.
 
Well damn hopefully I can keep my dose low & won't get that effect. I feel like hell now. Keep trying to decide if I want to stop tonight to induct on Friday morning or wait until Friday to get my meds & induct over the weekend. Don't really want to ruin a good holiday weekend feeling like crap. Think I'll call my sub doctors office & see what they think & whether or not it's okay to come in sick for drug tests etc.
I'm running low on my supply so might as well start tonight & be ready Friday. Hopefully I'll feel good enough to enjoy a weekend with the family.
