Down the rabbit hole
I have been on subs for a bit over 3 months. I was put on them because I was dabbling in heroin again and people found out, and I was told I needed "treatment" if I wished not to lose anybody an being on subs was one of the agreements. Just 2mgs/ every 3 days.... YES I have very very very very slow metabolism (I can shoot up heroin and not get signs of being dopesick until about 48 hours later....When I withdrew straight from heroin, it took me about 6 weeks to start feeling like I could function). I have jumped at 2mg about 4 weeks ago.... the only withdrawal I got are headaches from hell, feeling like I weigh 100lbs more than I do/ weak and lethargic, and the CHILLSSS.... The chills are way worse than heroin withdrawal....my bones are freezing and my body is burning. I cannot take it one bit!!! I am going mad. So 3 weeks after none of it letting up... I went straight back on suboxone and am stuck. Should I have tapered more? Would it even really matter? Any advice, besides benzos, as I was physically addicted to them before and that was an epic withdrawal in it's own.... I would really appreciate it... Thank you.
 
Wow, you want to trade livers?... Assuming there is nothing wrong going on w/ yours. I snorted H last night and woke up 12 hours after that feeling like garbage. Went back to sleep for 45 minutes and woke up covered in sweat and then proceeded to crap out everything in my intestines. Good thing is I could take Suboxone and it helps even only a little after 12 hours. But then I was sick again by 5p and redosed the Subs.

I envy how long it lasts for you. Most certainly do not envy the long w/d. 6 weeks off heroin?!?!? Yikes, I never went cold turkey off the H, only been supplanting with Subs. I have with Oxycodone and after 4 days I was function-able and 5 days basically only PAWS like stuff.

I will say that you definitely should have tapered more. The success jumping off at 2 mg is tough to come by. You really need to get to minuscule doses, like .1-.25 mg. Just mix the pill in a set amount of water and use a needless syringe to break down doses. Like if you mix a Sub with 16 mL water then measure out 1mL it should have .5 mg in it.

Tapering to as low of a dose as possible is always going to help.

As far as your slow metabolism.. well, it's a blessing and a curse at the same time. Great for when you are actively using and don't get dope sick for a long time, but sucks when trying to get clean.
 
dude, im about 5 foot ten and 190 pounds and have a very, very slow metabolism. sometimes things i eat i dont shit out for two days later and when i eat a good meal im not hungry until the next day.

some people say it takes like 10-15 days for he worst of sub withdrawal to be over (obiously this depends what dose you are one but i was on similar doses to you)

my withdrawls took two weeks of hardcore, physical shit. i had to tell my boss i was going on vacation to prepare for my detox because i physically would not be able to sit at my desk withot sweating and running to the bathroom every five mins and people asking me why i looked so shitty.

its just the horror that comes with a slow metabolism

i have a very skinny friend who was on 8mg a day for 1 year and his physical symptoms only lasted for 8 days. i am so fucking jealous of him.
 
this is the kind of thing ive been wondering about... seems as tho it takes me forever to w/d after doing H. i have subs right now and am sitting here waiting because im not all that bad into w/d yet.

yesterday i did two packs of good stuff, and it was around 15 hours or so ago that i shot the second one. i am not in all that bad of w/d's yet and i feel stupid as hell for not just taking my subs yesterday when i actually WAS in w/d really bad. but i had gone around 36 hours w/o anything at that point.


i didnt know that i was metabolizing stuff so slow.... that must be my problem?

i know i w/d hard for a while wheni came off of subs last time too... i had to get some hydrocodone to help with the w/d, it took the edge off enough to feel normal. of course u gotta get off the hydro then tho... only a couple weeks max u can use it really.

Wow. at 36 hours I am literally bedridden, puking and shitting myself.

Yeah, metabolism really does play a large role. Mine has always been very fast. I start getting dope sick off H less than 12 hours since my last shot.

i know Mr. S, right now im getting close to 24 hours and im only in mild w/d.

ive been having constipation issues lately and also wonder if that is playing a part in why this is happening.

i mean i used to get sick just as fast as what you say.... if not faster. ive also been getting dope from a different source since this has started happening... makes me wonder
