Hi, Kathryn23. Welcome to Sober Living. I can't attest to this regimen in any way, since my own experience and knowledge of suboxone and opiates is much less than the others here. However, here is something I found that may be helpful for others looking for opiate withdrawal resources:

the GABA medications are truely a god send when it comes to opiate withdrawal, the can really make all the difference. So I would definitely add Lyrica, neurontin, or Phenibut to your arsenal. unfortunately we all have to pay the piper when we give up the opiates so you will have some withdrawal. But since you tapered nicely they wont be that severe. I would just try and accept in your mind that you are going to feel uncomfortable for a little while. This is ok as after you are done with this you will never have to be a slave through physical dependence to a drug ever again

medications for acute opiate detox

The medications I would explore the use of for detox would be:
>Clonidine< DOSED EVER FOUR HOURS..

one of either
>NEURONTIN< >HERE< >HERE<
OR >Lyrica<
OR >phenibut<

>A BENZO BUT JUST AT NIGHT<
>a nsaid<
>melatonin<
tylenol

(Opi Withdrawal) what is the best comfort meds for opiate w/d?

also If you are a male then I would consider getting your testosterone levels checked as this often get really low with long opiate use and TRT can make a huge difference with the level of PAWS you may experience.

Yes, I have used this patient model in the past. There are a few clinics that use this method. One in columbus Ohio, where I did this in-patient. I can post the whole patient model if that would help anyone, or just for fyi. I was looking for specifics on this website but I didn't find any, I noticed in another thread some people were also interested in this detox method, but after i found the specific information I couldn't find the thread again. This works well for me, no withdrawls, when detoxing from heroin to no opiates in 5 days.
