Suboxone Dependency Question

[QuickQuestion91]

Hi guys, although I am not a suboxone addict, this past Saturday I was at a party drunk as ****, and someone there had a script of subs and I was offered them, being told I would get a slight opiate high from it. Within under an hour, I ended up taking 32mgs of the 8mg subs by allowing them to dissolve under my tongue. The next day, I felt like **** and spent the next two days in bed, throwing up and unable to eat or stand up without the room spinning. Let me note that I have NEVER used any opiates previously. My question is: how long do symptoms from it last? I still am feeling weak/very tired and feel in a daze, and it's now Thursday. I am wondering if maybe my body developed a slight dependency on them since I had never taken opiates before and I took such a large dose of subs? Maybe these feelings are mild withdrawal symptoms or something? How long should these symptoms last? As well, I went to my doctor a  few days after I took them and he told me I had very high blood pressure readings that were not normal for me. Has anybody heard of suboxone raising your blood pressure? Thanks for any advice/help you guys could give!

@ cleanmom:

I didn't tell my doc about it, I simply said I had alcohol that night. I'm feeling a bit better today, and in less of a daze. I think I will see if I continue to feel better, and judge from there. The only thing that seems to be continuously bothersome is when I work out, I feel very winded and light-headed. I think if those symptoms still persist next week, I will go back and tell my doc about it. Does that sound like a good plan? Thanks for your help! Also, I definitely won't be taking subs again, don't worry! lol. It was not the most pleasant of experiences, that's for sure.

@OIFMc09:

Yeah, I admit that was one of the most stupid things I've done in quite some time lol. Like I mentioned to cleanmom above, I feel better today, except the main thing is I feel very tired/light-headed/winded when I workout, so that's my main concern. I just hope my blood pressure hasn't been affected for the long term, cause my heart rate seems higher than usual at times -- could just be a mental thing though, haha. Anyway, thanks a bunch for your help and for the info, and I'll remember to take care of my friend next time he's drunk and looking to get "f**ked up" lol..

That was REALLY dangerous man.  Suboxone is not like a normal opiate.  It's not one of those things where you can have a couple brews and pop a pill like percocet or vicodin - which I wouldn't recommend either - and party it up.  Some people puke on sub. without the booze involved, taking a lot less than you did.  You hurt your body, it's that simple.  No dependency though, your body is just telling you that you really screwed up.  If you really can't function after a couple of days of taking it you may want to consider a doctors visit.  Anyway, not a cool friend, you should definitely punch him in the face when you feel better :)  And stop popping pills, especially when you're drinking...not a good mix.

That is a lot of sub. When you went to the doctors, did you tell him about this? If not that would be the best thing to do, he will know how to help. Good luck and don't do something so silly again, especially with the alcohol!  ----Jacky
