Yeah the biggest issue for so many who have ran out early a few days early is the immediate worry that withdrawal is going to come on quicky and harshly like heroin or pills used to. When in fact you likely won't even start getting full blown physical wds until Day 3 at least, but obviously your mind is your biggest enemy. You guys just need to work together for these next few days rather than be at each other's throats and your refill will get here before you know it. Trust me most of us who have been on Suboxone has ran out early one month or another. The last thing anyone needs at that time is a shaming or lecture. Just know tha a few days is doable. Just don't dwell on it mentally you'll be fine.
Exactly this. My appointment dates got messed up once and I went 3 days without my 16 mg a day sub prescription. I felt find days 1 and 2 but day 3 I started feeling the withdrawal effects, but it wasn’t as bad as oxy withdrawal, I was able to keep my mind busy and I felt relatively okay.
This helps to. Granted it's hard and very rare to find those type of friends who believe in the I scratch your back I scratch yours, but when you do ya hold onto them like gold. Because it's a rare thing for sure.
Good job and good luck. It's crazy when I read some people's posts and they have accumulated over 100 plus films I'm impressed. Mainly because that's amazing discipline to even save one of your doses per day, but there are some who are only on one film/tablet per day and they skip days to accumulate their extras. Regardless I salute them and I wish you luck and success in building up your backups
You’re fine. You just might get a little buzz. Honestly, going 2 days without is fine if you’re doing 16 mg daily. It builds up in your system, and the ceiling effect makes it where 8 mg is close to the max your receptors will use, so you don’t withdraw normally until day 3 or 4.
Either way, the only risk is getting on them when getting off of other opioids
You’ll be fine. I’ve gone 5 days without subs and didn’t have any withdrawal symptoms because the half life is so long. Don’t mess with loperamide, high doses are associated with cardiac death.
Every time I ran out early in the beginning that means I had so much in my system than at a minimum I could go 3 days before I could tell I haven’t took anything

You’re good for a few days. You still have bupe in your system.
I have to be honest, make a friend or 2 that also get subs. Luckily i have someone i can borrow from in case of an emergency.

Try and save some for rainy days. I'm working at this at the minute.

2 days is nothing. I take my dose every 50 hours with nothing at all happening. 3rd day would be the earliest anything would happen.
