Hey guys, hoping for some advice,
Been on Suboxone for about 5 months. Dosage is 1mg per day. Although it is a very small dose, I still get mild withdrawals in the morning before my dose (stretching, yawning, tearing up and runny nose).
I was on it about a year ago at the same dose for about 3 months, attempted to come off with the aid of Tramadol and Gabapentin.
It worked for a while, but I was travelling through Cambodia at the time, and the ridiculous ease of access to pharmaceutical and street goodies got the better of me in a big way. Now I am back on Subs, wanting to quit, but this time I am in my home country where access to helpful drugs like Gabapentin and Opioids is highly restricted.
Only Opiate that is easy to find here legally is Codeine, and as it is quite mild, and since I am only on a small Sub dose, I was wondering if anyone else has successfully come off Subs with the aid of weaker drugs like Codeine or Tramadol?
Only asking because the withdrawal from Subs, although at my dose is not that severe, is drawn out over at least two weeks, and the anxiety, depression and lethargy really start getting to me after the first week.
On the other hand the withdrawal from codeine may last 10 days at most, and is nowhere near as agonizing. I need this to affect my work life as little as possible.
Thanks in advance.
p.s. Also have access to PST, but figured that would be like taking a step backwards.
