Hi! I haven't been on here in a while as I've been trying my best to stay clean. It's semi- going well. But I recently got my hands on an 8mg suboxone film. I've gotten high off of it for five days... Using a mg or so each night. I've had no other opiates in months... Just this one sub. So, question is, do you think I will withdraw from the amount of suboxone I've used? Honestly, I'm asking because I'm tempted to make it six nights in a row since I still have some of the strip left, but I'm sure that's a dumb idea if I'm wanting to avoid withdrawal. Opinions?
 
There is so many variables it's hard to say. Mostly I would think it would depend on your previous habit. If you have been abusing opiates long term (at least a year or two of daily use) before your few months clean, yeah more than likely you are already in WD territory. If you had only been using daily for a few months befor your clean time then you may be alright if you stop now. At least that would be my opinion, which in no way is a guarantee either way. Just based off my personal experience with opiate addiction.
 
Exactly. Everyone is different and if you have had withdraws before it tends to be stronger each time.
Subs as well as methadone are meds with longer lifetime and harder to quit. You sort of feel normal when you take them.
But as Rob was saying it depends on your prior history. IMO/E, the sooner the better.
 
Thank you for your input. I decided against doing anymore... At least for a few days. I also told the guy who gave the sub to me to never offer me one again. Other than him, I have no connections... I'm new to this city. But as long as I have sub left (probably 1/4 strip), I know I'm gonna finish it. Anyway, thanks for responding guys :)
