Hey ClearAqua,

I’m glad you made it back. I’m sorry you had to go through what you did, but sometimes we have to endure some pain before we figure out our path forward. You sound like you have a good handle on things now and that’s GREAT!!

Last heroin shot 7 hours ago, staring Suboxone in the AM.

Romeo’s right………………Just for the record. Rolling Eyes

AND,,,
haven’t heard anything from you, so just wondering if you tried agian, or if you DID it,
or what’s going on………..

Its fairly common on this board to hear people going from heroin to suboxone, they don’t feel "good" or even "better" for about
3-5 days,
just in general………..It’s really common to hear they are in precipitated w/ds,,,,,,, who knows though, becuz heroin and
methadone BOTH make your tolerance sky high, at least as far as trying to induce with suboxone, it does.

If at first you don’t succeed, TRY TRY again…………………..

hope your doing allright Wink

Tinydancer, yes it is amazing to me how well Advil works now that I’m off all opiates. I tried and tried Advil or Tylenol or Aleve while on opiates and my body basically laughed at me and said, "give me the good stuff Romeo!" LOL

Truthfully, I’m amazed at how well most any over the counter medicine works for me. A long time ago, early in my opiate career, I had to take Restoril (Temazepam) to help me sleep. Nowadays when I have trouble sleeping, I take half a Unisom and within half an hour I’m out like a light.

I seem to be pretty sensitive to a whole host of things now. Caffeine is another one of them. On opiates, I would drink 8 to 10 cups of coffee per day, if I tried that now I’d be bouncing off the walls like a madman. I drink 2 cups of coffee per day now and that’s it, anymore than that and I push the envelope of looniness.

I feel like a "drug virgin" again!! Very Happy
