Hey brother thanks for the quick reply, I really appreciate it!
"let's try to keep the discussion moving along in an academic, HR-centered fashion. I'm not sure what your purposes are and have no judgement either way, but you're aware of our dislike for "how can I get high/buzz etc." type threads, so please be kind!"
100% brother, I couldn't agree with you more, this isn't a "how can I get high/buzz" thread this is a "how can I avoid overdosing and dying when switching from subs to oxy after a significant break from hard opiates" thread, my genuine intent is to figure out how I can move from a maintenance dose of suboxone to a functional dose of oxy
"Is this for pain management purposes or are you maintaining a habit and merely switching your DOC"
I'm switching my DOC from subs (dr prescribed) to oxy (street purchased), which I know is inadvisable however, I'm here to help myself not overdose and not die, so please keep the lecturing part regarding how I shouldn't be using opiates, etc, away as they're not helpful, the switch is going to happen either way, it's just a matter of whether I'll have the information necessary to make educated choices around dosage and frequency of use, so no pain management strictly withdrawal management
"What is your previous experience with Oxycodone? Do you have a benchmark? When you say "realistic", what does this mean; financially, legally, socially? Again, your last question is heavily based upon whether you desire analgesia or euphoria as a primary objective. An individual should be able to maintain with 3 or even 2 dosages of Oxycodone per day, but 3 is going to be the norm, preferably equidistant. Frequency is also heavily dependent upon your sleep schedule. If you can sleep until morning without needing a midnight dose, great. "
I'm currently 28 years old, I started using oxy around 14, from 14-16 I'd use as often as once every month and as little as once every three months, mainly taking percs and oxy 10's anywhere from 10-20mg per use, 16-19 as often as once every week to as little as once a month, mainly percs and oxy 10's and oxy 20s dosage anywhere from 20-40mg per use, 19 I did it approximately every week once or twice anywhere from 20-60mg per use, 20-21 did oxy everyday for two years, anywhere from 80mg-240mg a day, during this time I would occasionally use heroin or morphine or methadone to substitute when I couldn't get my DOC. 22 was rehab, 22-24 sobriety, 24-28 relapses, oxy, heroin, fent, then methadone maintenance then relapse, then suboxone maintenance and now I'm here.
I started my suboxone maintenance roughly 1 year ago at 24mg, I'm currently hovering around 3-4mg per day. I'd like to switch to oxy, looking to hold back withdrawals and live as functioning of a life as possible. I'm a small business owner and make a lot of $$$ but I'm very active, I work roughly 60+ hours a week and spend a lot of time walking around, doing appraisals, etc. so I'm not trying to be slumped on a couch catching a nod, I'm trying to be active and get shit done.
Hopefully, I gave you an adequate background on myself, my usage, my history, etc. so you could further inform me, lemme know if you need any more info, also as always thank you for your time!
