Using Suboxone while W/Ding...

[JerCKY]

So last night around midnight was my last dose which was 40mg of OxyContin.

I woke up this morning starting to feel sick so took a bar (2mg) of Xanax and smoke 2 bowls so I can get a little more sleep. Of course I woke up feeling worse but still real tired from the Xanax. My sister has a sub Rx and just got it filled today but I can't go over there until later today.

I said fuck it and tooted the last 4 Dilaudids that I had. Now I have to wait until tmrw until I can take Suboxone but I was thinking since Hydromorphone has a short half life, do I really have to wait a full 24 hours?

I'm sorry to hear you had to post-pone your subs; I totally understand how hard it is to turn down pills when they're practically thrown at you!

When I was coming off of Opana about a year ago, our dealer was trying to kick their OC habbit and were selling us subs (ironic much?). My best advice I could give to you would be to try and stick out the 24hrs before you start doing your subs, and the key thing you have to remember with them is LESS IS MORE. I would start off with 2mg doses (1/2mg to 1mg more if you're w/d's are unmanageable), and couple it with herb when it gets shitty so you don't start taking more subs. Just sit down with your subs when you get them and write down your taper plan and stick to it as much as possible. The last thing you want to do is get yourself hooked on subs because the w/d's on those are horrific.

Hope this helped, keep your chin up and remember it's gonna suck, but no longer being dope-sick is a luxury that is well worth going through hell and back again for.
