Subutex W/D's...help!

I am a 26-year-old wife, & mother of 3 children. Now 16 weeks pregnant with our 4th, I have been on Subutex for 7.5 months. It all started in 2013 when I started taking norco's, percocets, etc...which in turn, turned into oxycontin, morphine, & finally methadone. I decided to finally get clean on April 12, 2015. I started on 8mg & worked my way up to 16mg. I was initially taking Suboxone, but was switched to Subutex after becoming pregnant. I had just seen the doctor last week & got my new prescription filled, when someone at my family Thanksgiving dinner helped themselves to everything they wanted out of my purse...including my whole month's prescription of Subutex. My last dose was Thursday morning (8mg) because I took 8mg twice a day. Thursday night is when I got home & noticed all of the missing stuff out of my purse (I know who it was, by the way.)...it is now Saturday at 1:30pm, so it's been approx. 54 hours since my past dose, & my doctor will not be in his office until Tuesday, which will be day 5. I'm feeling drained today, but still okay. My point of this is, if i can make it to day 5 & still feel decently okay, should i just go ahead & plan on quitting? Or are the harshest days yet to come after day 5? My questions are, when do W/D's peak? Will I have major W/D's after taking Sub. for only 7 months, rather than years? If I feel this well in the morning (on day 3), does that mean I'll be okay? Please help me guys! Please! I've seen so many contradicting stories, I just want to know what to expect!
 
Oops I completely didn't see the pregnant part lol I would never suggest benzos for someone like that I'm not 16 it was misread relax

cold turkey if day 3 , the hell will go on forever until you quit. if you cant manage try coldwater extraction of OTC codeine with paracetamol, but be VERY careful and look deep into method.
 
I can't really take any benzos or smoke weed due to being pregnant. :( i'm definitely not completely fine, but also not in the hell I imagined when I noticed it was gone on Thursday. But if I'm okay on day 3, do you think I'm out of the water?
 
Satanz_benzo...believe it or not, the gas station up the road carries the white thai vein, green Thai vein, & red Thai vein in powder form...would that work?
 
Ok apparently none of these people have taken suboxone(subutex whatever) long term. It has a long half life and it might not be to bad now but it will get worse very soon. Damn sweetie I want to tell you stuff that will help diminish your suffering but you being pregnant scares me. My alternatives would diminish the withdrawals but don't know how they'd affect your baby and I'm so sorry I can't give advice on a maybe your kid will be ok.
You need to go to the hospital because they will(wds) get worse and you need to file a police report on that piece of shit. I wish I knew this asshole so I could rip his fucking head off. It would have been bad enough to have clipped you for a few pills but it happens,but to take all of your script what a fucking waste. this person gives not a shit about you or you baby.
I hope all works out well for you and the little one!

And you two dipshits that are telling her to take benzos and kratom must be what 16? Of all the irresponsible shit I've heard on here this is the worst. Invisiblehelper your name suits you because your help is invisible. You guys are either naïve or stupid and either way shouldn't give advice. The ladys pregnant and has a developing baby in her do you know how that shit could affect her baby? She needs professionals!

You know what? Im so fucking mad and not the least bit kidding do you live within a 75 mile radius of Philadelphia? I know it's a long shot but if you fucking do I'll knock on this pricks(the one that stole your shit) door and either kick his ass and get what shit you have left back or at the very least beat the fucking brakes off this low life! In case you can't tell I'm pissed and I promise my demeanor won't change by the morning. Sorry bluelight if I've broken rules but in this situation I don't give a fuck!

I definitely vote for the ER (don't know what kind of stress the intense wds to come will put on your pregnancy) and file a police report. I've had my meds stolen twice and reported it both times. Get some proof (incident #, copy of the call log etc.) to show doc and pharmacy and hopefully if you have a good relationship with both they will replace your meds. In the meantime again seek medical attention as you don't want the stress of wds to possibly adversely effect your pregnancy. Good luck and sorry this happened.
 
Most states require that you file a police report when a controlled substance is stolen. I would go ahead and do this. I know it goes against my ethos of never getting the police involved, but jeez, this is just dastardly.

Go to the hospital and tell them what happened. They can at least make you comfortable, and they will know what is medically safe to give you.
 
Namnoc16...I sure wish I was within 45 minutes of you! People nowadays could care less about others. & it's a damn shame! Even family, which is even worse. I'm so afraid to tell my doctor, he's so uptight & "strict" I guess would be a good word. There are too many people trying to lie their way into getting extra meds, I'm just so afraid he won't believe me. I'm now 75 hours after my last dose, & I'm still edgy & extremely uncomfortable with an upset stomach, but nothing I cant handle. I've not taken anything these past 3 days other than Tylenol & Immodium. I dont necessarily want to go to the ER if I'm able to maintain by myself. I've kept a constant check on my blood pressure, etc. All of my vitals have remained normal so I'm trying to wing it. If I'm able to make it to Tuesday (when my doc returns to his office), that'll be day 5. Shouldn't the worst be over by then? If I can make it to day 5, do you think I should just go ahead & go cold turkey?
 
I would seriously consult a medical professional before making the decision to go cold turkey. Are there any other suboxone clinics in your area?

Honestly you may need to break down and go to the hospital. Bupe withdrawals take a long time to get underway, but I assure the check is in the mail.
 
There are NO other doctors in my area. & I dont know anyone to ask for a couple, because I dont know anyone else who takes it. I'm actually starting to feel pretty shitty right about now. I may have to break down & go to the ER. I'm getting the chills, sweating, nauseated, headache, fatigue, aches/cramps, upset stomach, etc. I'm extremely irritated & edgy. What can I do (since I'm pregnant) to ease these symptoms? Before resorting to the ER.
 
Please go, this early in your pregnancy going through withdrawal puts your pregnancy at risk. I'm not trying to scare you. But please seek medical attention. I was o. Opiates for my pregnancy and have some experience in that area. You aren't far along enough to go into withdrawal
 
please please PLEASE go to the doctor IMMEDIANTLY or the ER dont wait, go right now, if you dont the baby could die, severe withdrawal can cause your body to kill the baby, im pretty sure if that happens it should start hurting severely, then blood comes out and im pretty sure its dead by then, in the meantime, go get benzos and kratom, the baby would be MUCH better off with you tapering with those rather than cold turkey, plus your not gonna be able to feed yourself or drink (you wont want to, plus puking and shitting and sweating and crying and sneezing all liquids out) so that in itself would kill it and you very soon

AGAIN please get help NOW, for the babys sake, file a police report afterward so this crap doesent happen again

Edit: if you wanna give me your email or something like that, i may be able to help further, mods, please dont ban me if thats against the rules, i just dont want any dead babies in the world :(
 
Best answer is go to the ER.. they will write you a temp script or take care of you.

Hope you have insurance that is accepted, ONLY reason why i wouldn't go to ER is if i didn't have insurance.
 
Yeah I would definitely agree with everyone else as far as getting some medical attention being pregnant. I know everyone is different with how their body handles withdrawal but being pregnant I wouldn't wait to see how your body handles it.
Bupe was weird for me really similar to methadone. Took me a few days to start to feel like shit after about 5 to 7 days is when it would come on full force but having the long half life it can last a long time. Definitely not like hydro or oxy. Unlike methadone though for me which stayed shitty bupe detox came in waves would start to feel ok then like shit few days later ok again then shitty for a while. I was on it for a few years so may be different for you but again being pregnant I wouldn't take any chances
And yeah definitely sounds like that person needs to get punched in the face I would probably also think it would be best to file a report for the sake of trying to get your meds back I'm sure that would help a lot when you do see the dr
 
I'm hoping she is in the hospital, and that is why we haven't heard from her... I really hope everything is ok.
 
Red vein will work best but any type will help :)

Because your pregnant probably don't risk kratom or other substances I mentioned it for withdrawals I didn't see you were pregnant. I'm really sorry for my comment
. Go to accident and emergency and explain, they should help if they have any heart. Take care I pray for you this is serious situation again I'm sorry I was tired when I posted so didn't read it properly.

Go to hospital and explain and get police.
