I have heard few success stories of sub maintenance but it's an iffy topic and very individualized. We need to stay away from all things mind altering or guess what? Be ready to start diggin yourself out again. Ive hears sub withdrawal is extremely intense , not quite as intense as methadone but nonetheless we don't want to see you go through it at all!
Mam I wish I had seven weeks under my belt, I have dabbled with doing the switch from methadone to suboxon, but swayed away from that. I jumped ship at 110 mgs of methadone and it's like someone is laying on top of me, holding a fan on me, and getting no sleep. No offense but this just seems like an excuse to use. Your doctor is not right for doing this but all in al
Hi de hi. KK, since there's been no reply I'm going to assume that I am chewing on the right part here.
So 1) I know you're feeling down and out and my heart is crying for you.
but 2) A reality check is very much in order because you are going to get yourself in far worse trouble with this plan. Whoever has suggested it is leading you down the rabbit hole. In no way is it treatment. The most generous description I could give it is to call it a supervised relapse by a quack, with a drug which takes twice as long to come off.
Please do not follow through. You've only been using for a few days, you do not have a full blown withdrawal to deal with. Suboxone is horrible horrible (yip that's two horrible's) to come off. Someone please butt in here and tell of your experience coming off Subs. I've only got what my brain is saying which is twice the length of oxy Holy f***.
Hold on. You've been clean for seven weeks, relapse, then keep going for a few days and call it a stabiliser. Then are going to go on a tapering suboxone script?
Please say I've got the wrong end of the stick here.
Thank you all for your support it does not go unnoticed and untouched. I did use again today just as stabslizer Tmr is day one of my recovery I am gonna go on A tapered script of Suboxone and see if therapist I am also going to go back to the gym and possibly joining yoga class if there is any other techniques are helpful ways to get me through this I would really appreciate your knowledge you all seem like you've been there. I've tried the 12 steps is not for me this website has actually been more helpful than the 12 steps ever was I always thought the 12 steps was just storytelling time and it made me want to use so I just want something that works for me if there's any helpful hints you can give me please let me know thank you again

I understand about having regrets, shame and remorse. But everytime I thought about my regrets, it kept me using to forget. It kept me sick. Our past events, hurts, they are our experiences. We must first forgive ourselves. It was not us, but the disease of addiction. When using, we are not real. Making living amends is the pathway to freedom, but it takes time. Your are blessed to have people in your life that care...show them your gratitude by getting well, and putting down the drug.
I've been watching this post too I was real worried about you. more because you didn't come back until a while earlier ... wondering where you were. I would seek as much help as possible. 12 step, outside counseling (individual). im sure all of us have done things we feel are hurtful to others, and perhaps feel bad about ourselves. it's a common part of recovery. there is a way out. but first you have to stop using. you sound like a very honest, strong person. you can do this!
Thank you for ur concern I wanna do the right thing but I keep dropping the ball. When I am sober I have no idea who I am and I have more hurtful thoughts about myself The things I've done I don't think can be forgiving I have so many people in my life who care and I'm at a point where there is no other side and I don't want to hurt them anymore but I take drugs to feel normal and to block the pain Is there a way out other then the indefinite
HI and welcome back for the dead your really lucky a lot of people would have O/DEd on that amount now you have to decide on witch aftercare will work for you for me N/A was the only solution to my addiction the program work if you give it a honest try this is the step that is critical to do, so many dont and think there addiction will just go away...IT DOSE NOT you need to find recovery N/A is free and one addict helping another addict is without parallel try 3 meeting give it a honest try you have nothing to loose a all to gain there is a clean and serine way to live when your addiction not running your life Good luck and God bless............Gnarly
I just woke up it just knock me out for 14 hours I'm sorry I didn't respond I'm not sure what triggered me it's probably just everything sick of letting everyone down around all I do is ruin peoples lives for the past 4 years and I I think I was hoping for the worst possible outcome and it wasn't a typo it took 7 perc 30s plus the other **** it was my first relapse in 7 weeks
I hope you meant 2-10mg of percocets....please let us know that you are safe today....
I'm hoping this was a typo and that it's meant to read '2 10 mg Percocet.,' Hooe you post soon and let us know what's going on.
Just saw this. I'm so sorry I don't know what triggered you to take so much, but we are here for you and are worried. I've overdosed a few times and am lucky to be alive today.i hope you found someone to watch you or even better get yourself to the hospital. Praying for you
Wow this post has been worrying me! 21 percs is waaaay to much tylenol! I could handle 210 mgs but thats over 7000 mgs of tylenol am i right?? Isnt 5000 a toxic level?? Im nervous about this honest....
Please let us know how you are. Gnarly is so right. This is exactly how people overdose.
Don't think it won't happen to you.
Hey are you still with us I have been worrying about you this is exactly how people od you think your ok because you have done it b/4 in your active addiction but now your tolerance is low you go to bed and never wake up Please get to the e/r and tell them what you did they can give you a shot of narcan and it will knock the oxy out of your system at least you will know your going to wake up tomorrow good luck and God bless................Gnarly....................................
Huni yes that is alot. No one can tell you if it is more than you can tolerate.
Is there a reason you took so much at one time?
Did something trigger you?
How long were you clean for?
YOU MAY OVERDOSE please do not go to bed!!!!! you might not get up!!!! find someone to watch over you that is a huge dose of oxy and benzos and opiates don't mix...........Gnarly
By the way the was relapse just scared my tolerance level isn't want it was and not sure if I took to many
