If you’re feeling stoned from your dose of sub, your dose is far too high.
oclafsti, it sounds like you have a low tolerance to opioids at the moment, a tolerance that would probably require a dose well under the ceiling.
I know how what you’re saying though. When I first went on Sub, I was put on 4mg. Before that I was using heroin maybe once or twice a week? I’d only experienced mild withdrawals. After the sub I was well stoned for a couple of weeks! Did I tell my doctor? No. I was loving it! Ultimately, I paid the price. Within 2-3 weeks the buzz faded and my tolerance went up a LOT. In the end I ended up MORE dependent on opioids than I did before I went on Sub.
Any time our tolerance to opioids goes up, there are lasting changes in the brain, and it becomes harder to live without opioids in the long run. Ultimately you’re only hurting yourself by staying on a dose that’s too high for your needs.
