I've decided to get clean. I don't want to be forced to take and opioid several times a day and I don't fancy travelling across town just to get these medications.
I used to take 0.8mg bupe a day and that would keep the wd's at bay. I then chose to switch to codeine because of how much weaker it is and how much shorter the half life is. Do you think this was a wise decision? What would you do?
Since I switched to codeine, which was a few weeks ago, I've experienced withdrawals twice, quite possible because of the short half life. I take 50 - 100mg codeine a day and I plan to slowly lower the dose. I have been on opioids for years.
Now that you have this background info, I have three questions for you:
1) What would you do?
2) What would your taper plan be?
3) Which drug would you choose? Bupe or Codeine?
If you need more info, feel free to say so.
Thanks in advance.
