Getting Off Herion With Suboxone

Updated

Ok so here's my problem... I And a 27-year-old woman weighing about 100 pounds. I have probably been using heroin for the last year. I've decided I'm done in no longer want to live that life. I've tried Suboxone one and it sent me into complete withdrawals. I have enough to last me about three weeks right now. After what I've been reading you need to be in complete withdrawal in order to take it to make it work. I have been dope free for the past 31 hours and the most I felt is shakiness diarrhea and some minor back pain... Shakiness is really bad but I dealing with it... I would really like to take some Suboxone just a small amount to try to feel a little bit more normal But I'm scared it will make it worse... Does anyone think that I should try to take about 2 mg or should I wait until I feel a lot worse? I have three small children to take care of and I really want to fight this off but being in total withdrawal scares me because I need to take care of them... Any thoughts or replies will be completely appreciated thank you very much...

I quit using about 18 hours before I saw the dr. and started the suboxone. I also have 3 young boys, and was terrified that I wouldn't be able to handle being in 'complete' horrible withdrawl if I took the Suboxone too early. 18 hours of not using was plenty of time for me. I was feeling SOOOOO much better within 30 minutes. Good luck!!!

I used to be on suboxone years ago and u should go ahead and take some. If u wait until ur in complete withdraw it takes more suboxone to help the symptoms

I know your post was years ago but for anyone new the symptoms you're having mean you ready for Subutex without Narcan. After a week of Subutex you can taper off or switch to Suboxone maintinence.
