Using suboxone to detox from H, relapsing once..

[ark9]

Hello BL'ers This is my first post, so I hope I'm doing everything correctly/not breaking any rules...if this has been touched on previously I apologize. I searched up and down for information on this, finding one thread sort of relating to this, but under slightly different circumstances.

Ok so I have a mild H habit, it's been about 5 months and I would shoot 1-4 bags daily. (east coast powder)

Wednesday, (four days ago) was the day I decided to take my last dose. I had two 8mg sub strips to help me, so I took as little as possible each day to help alleviate the symptoms of w/d. It helped a bit, but I still craved H every day since I stopped. Yesterday, (Saturday) I caved and did 2 bags. I didn't feel high, but it alleviated the w/d's that the suboxone didn't.

My question is, did that relapse just prolong this whole situation, meaning I'm back at square one? Or because I didn't really get all too high, (I took around 2mg suboxone maybe 6 hours before using H again) it didn't really get to my receptors or whatever?

Again, thanks for reading and please bare with me as I do not know all of the rules of the site and the best places to post these types of threads..

I think the reason you didn't feel high yesterday was because of the subs you had taken, so yeah it would block it. Many people get on subs and sing the praises but it didn't help the cravings much for me either. Just prevented me from getting sick and that's about it.

How many days was it, how much suboxone did you take and do you have any left? I would think that you would need more than 16mgs of suboxone to take care of a 6 month dope habit. Suboxone Maintenance didn't work work for me because I still had a lot of cravings. But it works for my boyfriend who's a lot older and has had a longer habit than I have had. I guess everyone's different in that sense because he's clean and has been so for 4 years. When I used Suboxone for detox(while not having a HUGE habit, but probably a habit close to yours) I went to detox & got suboxone for 7 days(not sure how the taper went, how many mgs & shit because it was 2005.) It worked great and I felt great afterword's. Did the 45 day program after. Unfortunately once I got out I relapsed in like 4 months.
