I apologize in advance for the double post. I replied to a Suboxone topic with this same topic; but in the interest of getting a response as quickly as possible I wanted to create a thread as well. 

I have a question and need some help. 😵 I think I did something stupid. 

A while ago I was given some 8 mg Suboxone films from a friend. I normally take 10 mg of oxycodone (or percocet) for chronic leg pain on a very regular basis (1 pill a day about 2-3 times per week). I'm currently out of the oxycodone so I (stupidly!) tried the Suboxone film tonight which I've never touched before. I cut it into 3 pieces so I ended up taking what was about 6 mg instead of the full 8 and put it under my tongue. This was about 4 hours ago...

I'm not feeling great. At first I felt kind of nice. Now not so much. I've got the typical signs and symptoms of an opiate; like pinpoint pupils, kinda warm and fuzzy/floaty, but I'm also just really drowsy like I want to fall asleep every time I close my eyes and I'm a little nauseated, dry mouth ect. Is this normal? Or have I taken some absurdly large dose of this shit and need to be worried? Any advice would be appreciated. Right now I'm scared to let myself fall asleep. I'd rather not panic if it's not warranted. How long do the effects of a single dose normally last? 😨

 
Assuming that was the only substance you have taken today, what I've just researched, you should be fine. Although you did take a fair amount as the "reccomended" recreational dose without tolerance is 1-2mg. Am seeing a 37hour half life.

 
Just an update. It was 24 hours until I felt ok. Then 48 when I began feeling normal and pupils became normal and felt more like myself. Just in case anyone has a similar question or experience. Use as directed and with caution.

I know this is old but I did this too a couple years ago. I also don’t take more than 10mg at a time of pain meds and ONLY take them orally. So, I guess I am probably intolerant.  But, I only took 2 mg and that was still too much for me!! I was soooo incredibly sleepy and felt like crap! I was also afraid to sleep so I basically kept walking from one room to the other then to kitchen then restroom making myself as busy as possible. It was awful! I did this for hours! 
My friend who had suggested me to try was in disbelief and anyone else that is on sub also acts like they never heard of such a thing. They all get energy! So glad you posted because I thought it was just me having a weird reaction or something.

 
@DJH-Krazy Nope, definitely not just you. I'm glad my post helped! It was a horrible experience for me. I walked around, tried to watch tv, even went and sat in my car for a minute just to keep myself occupied so I wouldn't fall asleep until I thought it was "safe" to go to sleep and even then I didn't sleep properly. From someone who takes a 10 mg dose of oxy regularly I was shocked it had that effect and quite frankly I was scared. 

 
Reminds me of when oxycontin first came on the scene, and the first time I ever took it,  broke off what I assumed was a "small" dose ( I was also used to 10mg percs or hydro) and yeah... I was so fucked up I stayed up all night walking around the house because I felt like if I closed my eyes I would never wake up.  it SUCKED

  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: It is really annoying\
  9. Alkazar @ Alkazar: Technically they were forced back to work the last time they went on strike in 2024, so this is the same strike for the same reasons in 2025.
  10. Alkazar @ Alkazar: I dont know how to direct reply to people on here. But the Canada Post strike will affect any mail coming from the US. It will be held at a facility until the striek is over. Mail that is being sent from CAD to the US will just not be picked up. It all has to be private delivery services now.

  15. xenxra @ xenxra: @LW815 from my experience, CP strikes usually tend to leave the snails alone
  16. xenxra @ xenxra: I hardly knew her!
  17. C @ Callmejonah: methadone
  18. LW815 @ LW815: @Alkazar would that effect snail mail arriving to the US from CA in any impactful way?
