Ive been wondering around bluelight for some time now and have discovered a lot of very intriguing information. I decided to go ahead and create and account of my own, since I have had a few questions that you all may be able to help me with. The main question being why my tolerance is shooting through the roof with my Xanax.
Backround Information
I have been a serious opiate addict for quite some time, I started around 16 and now I am 24. It started as the usual with Loratabs, Percocets, etc then moved onto Oxycontin and finally heroin. After using all these for some time I decided to try and quit. So I began to go to the methadone clinic. While there I excelled and stayed clean but I was also prescribed my Xanax at the same time while on the methadone. Over time I began abusing the Xanax more and more to get high off my methadone. Eventually, I got kicked out the clinic because of abusing the Xanax like I was. Anyways, I went cold turkey from 140mgs of methadone and Xanax and stayed clean for quite some time after that (5-6 months). I recently had to get a few root canals done and was given percocet for the pain. After I took that first pill it awakened a demon inside of me. I started getting the dentist to give me more and more then eventually went to the streets to score some real dope. I finally decided to quit again and have been seeing a suboxone doctor.
My Problem
I am currently prescribed 16mg Suboxone a day and 2mg Xanax 3 times daily. I usually dont take near that much Suboxone daily. I try and keep it at 4-6 mgs a day, but I find it very hard to drop lower than that dose. It seems like when I get to a lower dose then that, my back begins to hurt and I just seem to be overall uncomfortable. I plan on trying to setup a detox plan for my suboxone sometimes soon and I believe my Xanax will help that tremendously. When I was first put on the Xanax about a month ago, half a bar would make me feel wonderful and even very sleepy at times. Now I have noticed as time has gone on that I am sometimes taking 4 to 5 bars at a time and they seem to have little to no effect. I know stopping for a couple days would be a good idea but it is very hard to do when you have true anxiety. Is there any suggestions on what I can do to try to increase the effect of my Xanax or lower my tolerance?
P.S. My sub doc doesnt take insurance so its $200 a month to see him plus about $400 for 60 tablets of suboxone at the pharmacy. I told him about the generic Subutex, but he said that the only way he could write it was if I was allergic to something in the suboxone or otherwise he would get into trouble.
