I realize no one can truly answer this question but based off of the experience from some of this forums members I'm hoping to get a vague insight for what to expect.
History: 25 year old male / 160lbs. On and off opiate user for 7 years. Mostly pills but went on several heroin runs for several months at a time. Was clean but ended up on another Oxycodone bender. About 5 months into this run and at its height I was doing 10 x 30mg a day in an IV and swallow combo. Recently I've eased back to an average 3 x 30mg a day habbit. Tried to quit cold turkey and had the classic runny nose, soreness, loose bowels, throwing up and some slight suicidal ideation. Decided it was too much to cope with and live my everyday life, such as work. Continued forward doing 2 x 30mg a day. Tried to quit again but still felt like doom.
Solution: I picked up 6 x 8mg Suboxones. I used 2mgs at a time. At first I would do 2mg and then wait 16 hours or so and IV a Oxy 30mg. I would feel the Oxy, after 6 hours of Oxy buzz I would do another 2 mg of Sub. I repeated this half a dozen times until doing the Oxy no longer yielded effects. At this point I switched to using 2mg of Sub twice a day. I've done this and only this for about 3 days. Tonight I used the last 2mg chunk of Sub. Because I shoot it I have saved all the extra pieces from along the way and figure I have another 1mg shot of Sub left.
I'm hoping tomorrow the Sub already inside me will fade into just a slightly down feeling instead of sickness and I can ride that out all day. At night I'll use the last 1mg of Sub and a Klonopins to sleep. From there it's cold turkey. I believe o lowered my opiate use down enough that those several days of Sub use should have been enough to reduce my withdrawals to an absolute minimum. I'll probably feel a little crappy but nothing too dramatic.
Does this sound like I'm on the right track here or do you think I'm completely wrong and imminent doom is on the horizon?
I'm new to the forum so I tried to be as detailed as possible. Thank you in advance for any replies.
Also should be noted I have 4 x 0.5mg Lorazepam and 1 x 1mg Klonopins left.
