heres my story in a nutshell: ive been physically addicted to opiates for 3 years. i went in to a week long detox this past august but when i got out they wanted me on subs. ive been on them since then (i was actually taking them WAY before then) and the dose i was prescribed (2mg a day) hasnt helped. i ended up dosing myself at 4mg a day and when i would run out early id buy some from a friend. this has gone on since august and im finally sick of being a slave to chemicals. ive tried to quit before, but that was due to others. this time its for me and IM TRULY DONE WITH THIS SHIT.

i ran out of sub a few days ago and decided to mix in some oxy to ease into the detox. last night it had been a little over 48 hours since my last dose of opiates but i couldnt stand the pain, so i talked my friend into giving me a little over 1mg of sub. i snorted it and it seemed to take me out of WD but not completely. its been almost 24 hours and usually (when i was taking 4mg) id be in full WD by now. right now i just kinda feel a little shitty, but not near as bad as the past few days, nor as bad as a normal opiate kick.

what im wondering is if i set myself back at all or not by taking sub in the middle of WD. ive never tried taking a low dose of sub in the middle of a detox before so im really hoping i havent f***ed my self and reset the detox.

so does anyone have any experience like this? did i shoot myself in the foot taking the sub last night? heres how my past weeks dosing has been in case it will help:

5 days ago: 4mg bupe (2mg in morning, 2mg at night)
4 days ago: 2mg bupe in morning and 60mg percocet at night
3 days ago: no bupe, 50mg percocet at night
2 days ago: nothing
yesterday: a little over 1mg bupe at night
today: nothing

im just anxious because i WANT this to be over so i can get my life back together. im just so sick of this shit. any answers/advice would be much appreciated.
 
thats what i was thinking. its just weird cause i do feel the WD but i dont really feel too "sick", if that makes any sense. when im on 4mg daily id usually be sick as a dog right now (its been 24 hours exactly since i took the 1mg).
