OK, so I've never posted on blue light but I've been reading it for years but I can't seem to find anyone with a related experience to my situation.
So here it is,
I've been a heavy opoid user for about ten years now, and about 5 months ago I decided to give suboxone a try. So I started suboxone and it worked great, I had no issues. The cravings were manageable, as far as I would think I want to use but then I would forget about it and go on with my day we'll, I decided to play with fire and I'm obviously getting burnt. I decided I would start using h again, because hey, if I have suboxone then I can use when I want and when I'm done just go back to my suboxone and I'll never have to worry about being dope sick.
Well, that little plan worked fine for about.. Three months. And I would use very occasionally. Just here and there when I would have extra money and what not. If I knew I was going to get some then I wouldn't take much of my suboxone that day, I'm prescribed 16 mgs a day. Like I said, no issue. Well then I found my usage of heroin getting pretty high. I'm not sure, it just mentally took back over. Well one night I run out and I have no more money and I'm starting to feel shifty, and like I said, I never had a problem going from suboxone to heroine, even with in a few hours of each other for months, but anyways I go to take my suboxone and all a sudden I'm in precipitated withdraw. It didn't last long, but wow, I felt like crap I thought I was going to die lol and since that night, everything has changed. My suboxone is barely working. My heroin ussuage has still been pretty high. Well, yesterday I had a little bit of heroin left, I did it yesterday morning and was fine all day and night. I woke up this morning feeling the withdraws, and it has been at least 24 so I took one 8 MG strip. And it barely did anything. I mean I wasn't in the worst withdraws I've ever had, but I still felt horrible. so then in the afternoon I took another 8 MG strip, and nothing really changed. Still withdrawing. When I started suboxone I was on heroine, probably doing the same amount if not more and the day I started I felt better immediately after my first dose. No problems.
So obviously question number one is why isnt two 8 MG strips taking away my withdraws like they use to? I've switched back and forth so many times and never had an issue so why all a sudden is this becoming an issue...
So of course I go grab a bag tonight because I can't sleep and don't want to feel horrible, so I got home, did a VERY small amount of heroin in a shot and boom I'm all better. No more withdraw. And I took 24 mgs of suboxone today and 8mgs of that was only 8 hours ago. And EVERY thing I read is saying suboxone is supposed to block the opiates or u have to take a large amount to feel anything. Well apparently that's not true for me it's basically like the suboxone isn't working AT ALL anymore. And I really want to be done with heroin and get back on suboxone and Stay off of everything else and go back to my normal life again...has anybody else had this happen to them??
