i'm looking for advice on a very important issue, and it's a decision i have to make VERY soon.
i'm prescribed 4 15mg IR oxycodone per day.
i'd been supplementing this with used 150mcg fentanyl patches; these were changed every 48 hours. i cut them into slices and make them last about 24 hours and use the oxy only every OTHER day, when i don't have the fent.
Of course, this makes it to where i have twice the oxy (8 pills instead of 4.)
The person who gave me the used patches will no longer be receiving fentanyl in 3 weeks.
So no more fent, but i will still have 60mg of oxy a day.
I told this story in another thread originally posted to TDS wherein i was seeking general advice and support, and i goddamn sure don't mean to make a nuisance of myself, but i desperately need opinions of people who can compare oxycodone to buprenorphine (from experience.)
Here is the big question: should i go to a suboxone clinic and tell them i'm coming off of fentanyl and oxycodone?
Would you prefer 60mg of IR Oxy, or, say, 8-12mg of bupe?
As for me, i find the round the clock aspect of buprenorphine VERY attractive.
I was on it for a couple of years and did GREAT: it was a great antidepressant and just seriously enhanced my life in general.
I was able to stop drinking, became VERY successful at my job, got a lovely apartment, and didn't use any illegal drugs.
Basically, i was sated, all the time. I didn't crave much of anything and always had a mild euphoria.
it WAS the magic pill for me, along with AA.
THAT BEING SAID, this was back when they were putting everyone on suboxone. i was in rehab for ALCOHOL 4 times in one year. the fourth time, i mentioned that i occasionally ate a handful of vicodin, and they put me on 16mg of sub. so basically i didn't have much of a tolerance at all in those days. obviously, now i do: i've been eating the used fentanyl patches steadily for about six years, along with the occasional new one, and have been taking the oxy for 3. So it damn sure may not be as euphoric as it was in 06.
Thank you guys SO much in advance.
TL;DR/long story short
Which would you rather have if you were seeking happiness and balance/the proverbial "slightest correction," rather than a nod:
60 mg of IR oxycodone daily, or 8-12 mg of suboxone?
