Hello to all. Newbie here. I really enjoy reading everyone's posts here. Very insightful and informative.
Quick history. Had Surgery in February. Was on 7.5 hydros for a month. Drug of choice has been alcohol/cocaine (in the past). I of course began liking the hydros a little too much. Used 30 7.5's for 4 weeks. After Doctor cut me off I asked friend for some pain pills. This is ten to fourteen days after I was cut off from my hydros. He gave me subutex. Being that I had a pretty low opiate tolerance, I'd pull little pieces off 8 mg pill. Made mistake of taking a half one night early on. I was so high. I was incapacitated, sick and sweating. I kept using for 4-5 weeks. Maxed out at six mg the last day I was abusing. At this point I decided that I wanted to stop. I read some of the stuff on these forums and got completely freaked out about withdrawing.
My question is how bad do you guys think it will be? After I decided to quit after the 5-6 weeks of using, I tapered down to 1-2 mg per day for 5 days. I decided to just go as long as I could without taking a dose. To my surprise, I'm on day 4. It will be four full days in five hours. I know subs stay in your system for a long time. I'm still worried that it's going to all of a sudden just hit me like a ton of bricks. Btw, I suffer from extreme anxiety and that's probably why I'm so worried. Any thoughts/opinions would be greatly appreciated. I wish you all the best and admire each and every one of you fighting this disease of addiction.
