I am currently stabalized on daily ~1mg of Suboxone. This dose is low enough that I am able to function, but still able to recieve somewhat of a high from IV heroin use. Before, I was only taking subs in between uses, would (re)lapse, wait 24 hours, and take another sub. This is the first time in my recovery I have actually been taking Suboxone daily, and have stabalized my dose.
My question is, now that I have a buildup of suboxone in my body, do I necessarily need to wait for withdrawal symptoms before resuming suboxone? I.e. If i take my sub in the AM, do a shot in the PM, is it concievable to take my suboxone the next AM as usual?
As additional background, this may seem counterproductive, but I have gone from daily IV heroin use to 2, maybe 3, single shots of heroin a week. I have been working toward only 1 shot per week, but at this point I am happy to be taking my subs regularly and no longer being a daily IV user.
