I sniffed heroin for 2 yrs. just did a 5 day Inpatient detox with subutex.....one terrible nite then fine....on nothing now. 15days clean and now a bad cold--exhausted--post acute withdrawal or just caught something? Heard if I take a 1/4 strip suboxone I'll b feelin better. Or should I just get antibiotics or both? really not interested using or taking the suboxone regularly. Thx

If you don't have an infection, then I would steer clear from taking any antibiotics, as they can take a toll on your body and make future infections more difficult to fight off.

Because you're not sure if what you are dealing with is a cold or simply post acute withdrawal symptoms, it may be a good idea to treat it naturally by just eating a lot more fruits and vegetables and drinking plenty of water to help flush your system out.

I am thinking though that what you're dealing with is more likely to be withdrawal symptoms as opposed to a cold, due to the time of year it is, but I am not a doctor, so if you feel the need, temporarily taking the suboxone strip 'should help' if it is related to withdrawal symptoms.
