Well the suboxone is only going to replace the viks in the brain. So you didn't WD from the viks cuz the sub went to those receptors. In order for sub to work properly you need to maintain a dose for a short while. I would get with a sub dr, go their website to find one. Whatever you do don't maintain on sub for a long period of time. Get settled on a dose by your dr then taper as much as possible.
But the reason you feel like crap is because you are WD. Your opiate receptors are still screaming for the opiates so whether it's the sub or viks your going to WD after only 3 days.
If you feel you can push through this without getting on sub long term I would do that. But if you feel you need the sub for a couple months go that route. It isn't a magic drug though. Your gonna WD no matter what but if you stay on sub for a short time and taper it shouldn't be too bad
hi there, i have a question. i have tappered off of vikes after about 6month cycle of off and on. i only took up to 4 a day and quit with the help of two suboxone strips cut into tiny pieces. the sub lasted me three days I was fine until this morning my muscles ache and im crying feeling very suicidal. why am I having a mental crash? will i wake up still feeling suicidal in the morning? I also feel my brain is on fire. shohld i submit myself into a hospital or will this be the worst?
Thanks
From what I hear of sub's, you have achieved an amazing feat. Such an exciting time for you. The best days are ahead for you. Enjoy your new clean life......Your work is paying off!
Thanks! Never thought I'd be 12 days free of sub but looking forward to many MANY more :)
Hi Map, Just skimmed your post and wanted to give ya a "way to go, high five". You have to be proud of yourself. I know I am. Keep it going....xx
Although everyone is different technically sub doesn't get you high. You will have the effects of opiate high, vomiting, nodding off, etc. but I would never get the euphoria that other opiates provide. There are other alternatives to suboxone if you concerned about relapse. However, even suboxone doesn't stop you from relapsing. I went back and forth between sub and heroin, which is dangerous. It is true that while the sub is in our brain other opiates won't work but you'd only have to wait a day or 2 of taking them for the sub effect to wear off and be able to feel the other opiate, heroin for example.
I think a lot of ppl use sub as a crutch, I certainly did at first. I didn't try to fix my addiction I just replaced my dope dealer on the street with a dr who sell stuff that didn't even get me high!!!! Jk
I would only recommend suboxone if you have a very strict and set plan of getting off of it ASAP.
