Help! Need To Get Off Opiates & Methadone But Dont Have Enough Subutex!
UpdatedHi there,
My boyfriend and I were taking opiates for about a year, quite a lot. We have been on methadone for about a year, I've been on it for a few months longer. Started at 60mgs a day and then got down to 12mg. For the past month I've been on a higher dose to get off the opiates we got hooked on again. Think we didn't have enough methadone and the cravings set in.
So, I got subutex now and my boyfriend and I are living in separate places now, which make this hard to coordinate. I got subutex and we shared it but I had to start taking 8mg instead of 4mg just so that the withdrawal from methadone would go away. So I've taken most of the Subutex meant for us and have 2 8mg tablets left. I don't have any methadone now, only a script for another month at 12mg. Yesterday when we both took 4mgs of subutex the withdrawal was so bad that we both relapsed to make it go away. Then I heard you had to take more subutex so I did, but now we don't have enough to get off the methadone and opiates!
Please help me, I don't know what to do. Should I fill the methadone prescription and get that until I can afford the subutex for both of us? It's a saturday night now, and I have subutex for Sunday and Monday. Will try and ask the dr to write another subutex script for me, but it's 8mg so will only be enough for me and not my boyfriend! He's been taking opiates in the meantime because he doesn't have methadone or subutex. This is such a mess, I really need some help to know what to do. If I don't get methadone or subutex I'm going to have to relapse in the meantime till I get one or the other. I don't want to do this because I'm at work and I don't want anyone to find out.
Please help if you have any advice, it will be much appreciated!
