Getting off Suboxine
I know subutex is different from suboxone but if you can try to get the sub dissolvable strips.
I've gotten off them by cutting my sub strips little by little and weaning down which worked. Each day take a little less and wait to see how you feel before taking too much as you can get off in a 2 week period if motivated. Its not easy but we all know that. So do it at your own pace and you will notice how your body reacts, as everyone is different(ie metabolism, tolerance etc)
But if you have Xanax, Vals, klonopins etc, they help a lot during the process!
Hope this info helps
Hi everyone so I've been taking Subutex (buprenorphine only, no naloxone) every Saturday for the past 2 or 3 months at doses ranging from 2 mg to 10.
I reached 10 mg about 1 month ago but then I tapered down to 2-3 mg at a time.
Problem is in the last few weeks I've been taking it about 3 times a week in doses of 1-2 mg usually with a day or two in between doses.
Usually it goes like this: tuesday I take 1 mg, Thursday or Friday another mg and Saturday I usually take 2-4 mg max.
I've been taking it with this "schedule" for about 3-4 weeks, is it possible that my body is addicted to it? Or do I need to take it everyday to result in physical addiction? (I'm asking because of the long half-life).
I feel fine if I don't take it for a few days but maybe it takes some more time to feel the withdrawals? How many days should I wait to see how I feel without it?
I know I will soon be mentally addicted if I keep this schedule and I want to tone it down from now on, but I was wondering about the physical aspect.
I plug it BTW as I find it to be a much better ROA than insufflation, it has a stronger effect and it comes up much faster, if anyone has any question about this ROA I'll be glad to answer your questions.
