I've been reading blue light for a while now and I thought it was time to get myself registered and start contributing properly; I have problem, I'd like help with them; you have problems, I'd like to help you with them.

I've been in treatment for heroin addiction for the last 6 months, at about 1.6mg of subutex per day. Since then I've managed to relapse a couple of times, but nothing too serious. I've been blagging my GP for 5mg valium 'scripts but now after the 5th time he's beginning to get a little suspicious and has asked my lifeline clinic to contact him to discuss the mixture of buprenorphine and diazepam; I'm wondering, if, apart from the normal don't mix benzos with opiates warning, are there any other considerations I should be adhering to? Also, is there a way I can successfully convince my key worker that she should tell my GP to give me a repeat prescription for the yellows?

This site has been a source of fantastic advice and support over the last year or so, and I'm happy to have now joined proper.

Looking forward to talking to you all in more depth.

Hi! I've decided to finally join the masses today as well. I was addicted to heroin a few years ago, but was never in a detox program or on medications like Suboxone or methadone.

So, my knowledge kinda weans there. Maybe your doctor is more worried you're becoming addicted to the valium.
 
Thanks both.

I'm going to my first NA meeting today. I'm a little nervous, not least because I know there will be people there who are in a much worse situation than I, and from what I can tell my buprenorphine prescription is so low as to be considered even desirable for most addicts, so I wouldn't want to contribute to the discussions in a 'poor me' kind of way and have some seasoned 8mg per day user resenting me for it. I guess I'm just being paranoid :S
 
Hiya! Welcome to Bluelight. :) You should take a gander over at The Dark Side if you haven't already. I think you'll find a lot of understanding people there that will help you through this. I wish you all the best! <3
