Taking suboxone for the first time

Well I can't really say I have clean time.. I am on bupe but for the past year I have not accumulated more than 45 days without using dope. Lately I have been using once a week and bupe the rest, so clean time is zero...but usually I make it a month then I do something stupid like reward my self or get real drunk and make a bad choice. I am moving actually for work from the east coast where theres this powdered dope ivbe become so fond of, so I have been liek putting off really focusing on getting clean until the move which is right about here.

So maybe this will be my ticket out.. I just need to get over the hump..get a few months straight on suboxone with ABSOLUTELY no drug use like you have then I can do a slow taper off where hopefully withdrawals will be minimal till I mak ethe final jump.

I figured out that a roxanne 8mg bupe pill is 400mg.. and I have a mg scale so when i am tapering 50mg = 1mg bupe, so I can get as low as weighing out 5mg powder for .1mg bupe, but thats a fantasy long ways away. I just hope that if I slowly get my dose that super low I can avoid the horrid withdrawals.

I am on 6mg bupe right now!!! So i have quite a ways to go to get off :( I have experienced the withdrawal from 6mg and it's not pretty..if feels like heroin withdrawal.
 
Wow. So is the dope powdered her your movig to? I if is its going to be really hard to stay clean. I had to cut off everyone I know. I am seriously starting out all over. I even changed my phone number so that no one cal call me and tell me they have h or something. Even changed my email... Its been so lonely doin this. And most of the time I want to say fuck this but I'm sort of really focused o staying clean. Ya know..

The reason for the methadone switch is because it's a full ag opiate and I want to get off the sub... I am literally a slave to sub right now.. Did you read ny other post about my severely painful withdrawal inhad very morning cause subs just don't mix with me..
 
I am not moving specifically cause my dope prob but I got a job like far away from here lol.. so it's m,y chance to start over like you are doing, new area, friends, everything. I fear i will end up real lonely too as it is I shut my self in much more than before I used drugs (which was only 6 years ago that I started to use bad drugs).

I couldnt find that post what forum is it in?
 
What happended, what did I miss, @ms, I didn't see anyone call you a dick, I know you were being nice, I didn't read it any other way, sorry if you feel that way.

@kayla, I had to move to FL to wait for my liver there, because if I stayed up here it woulda been a 1 1/2-2yr wait. Going down there was only a 3-4 month estimate, I ended up waiting 5. The drive I mentioned was just us moving back north. What are you googling? Vacations?

And I had Atavan, but it didn't really help the spasms too much, I ended up in the ER in VA. Then when we hit CT, I got such bad pain I could move my leg, had to lift it with my hand, so we had to rush home he next morning, I went straight to he ER, I ended up inside from May til The end of August! They put me on a feeding tube and everything because I couldn't gain weight. It SUCKED. And your right, I hve been through a lot, thank you. People, even some I've just met, tell me all the time how I've been through more in the pat 5 years than most people do in their entire lifetime..sucks!
 
V- wow. That's terrible. What helped my spasms were Somas which I abused and baclofen which I eventually abused.. Ahh I'm freakin terrible. But I think the Somas if you don't abuse them really do help.

I am googling a new doctor.

Ms-that's awesome you want to start all over. I can tell you it's hard and very lonely and boring as fuck but def worth it on the long run well at least that's what I'm telling myself ya know...

It's really getting harder and harder. I keep thinking like you, I want to reward my self with and IV and I can't it's like making me feel like I have locked in syndrome lol I am trapped in a body that sits here when inside I am a crazy wild girl who wants to party.. Ya know
 
As others have said, wait until your in withdrawal from full agonists before you take Suboxone and you can't take another full agonist (oxycodone, hydromorph ect.) until the bupe is out of your system in 36 rs. I've waited like 24hrs and then taken a full agnoist and found it to work perfectly fine IMO. Take Tagamet 30-45 minutes before dosing your Suboxone it will make it last waaaay longer IME. If I take a benzo alongside Suboxone I feel it's best to take a long-acting one such as diazepam <- Personal favorite. Clonazepam is the runner up. Tagamet also increases sedation in benzos and increases plasma concentrations. I found it makes it more euphoric and the half-life is much longer and feels more potent.
 
Thanks escaped for your recommendation! If I did decide to take the benzos, I could wait that long off the opiates. Unless I was really goin to taper down and get off them, which I'm not. Also, the only benzo I would have access to is Lorazepam, which I also have a script for, so that'd be my best option. I'm not really into getting drugs non-scripted. Last night was the first time I've gotten, and only got one, from a friend of a friend. (but it turns out this shady guy, I know his whole fucking family, just didn't know he even existed! Weird, so I wasn't too afraid of him).

I dunno, trusting other people who are known to be scammers and you don't even know shit about them is just something I'm very weary of. As, all people should be...maybe I'm just straight cautious because I work civil service and have dealt with scammers and con'ers and the like, and know what their like, you can't trust anything they say...maybe I'm just brought up that way, my way of life..you only know what you've been exposed to ya know.

I'd also be afraid of asking anyone I know. I'd e afraid they tell other people (I live in a really small area where everyone knows you). I'd be afraid of them being "No" and goin to the cops, also I'd be afraid of them thinking IM trying to do a sting buy lol. I just wanted this one time because my scripts ran out early and I really don't want to go to the ER to deal with this pain again. When I go to the ER, I'm in the hospital for at least 3 days. It's a given.

Thanks all! :)
