Opioids Why opiates are the devil's sidekick. Also, help with Suboxone withdrawals please?!

Trust me, I know I didn't need to be on the Suboxone for so long. That I probably didn't need to be on it at all since the bupe is stronger than the dosage of hydro I was taking. But I listened to my doctor instead, and so like most things, by the time I realized all of this and actually did my own research it was already too late. I just like to try and get my story out there... both my experiences with pure opiate addiction AND with Suboxone... so that people can avoid both if possible.

Lol, I once had someone tell me, "You're too young to be on Suboxone." I was like... what? I'm too young to be addicted to drugs? Why were there 14 year old heroin addicts in rehab with me back when I was 16 then...? I just thought it was kind of strange. The girl who said it worked in a pharmacy too and is going to pharmacy school, lol that's the sad part. I guess it's just another example of the ignorance too many people have when it comes to opiates... in ALL aspects of the medical profession.

OK so now you are at the point where you are still having W/Ds from lack of Suboxone ? If so I would make an appointment with a pain clinic that has a doctor
that is licensed to prescribe Suboxone or any doctor that is licensed to perscibe it . Tell them your story and the fact that you would like to do it "right" this time with their help . My guess is they will help you out and set you up on a realistic taper plan . Follow their plan and you will be OK . The 30 or 60 day Sub taper plan works for most people .

Like I said I didn't want come across rudely and what the hell we all make mistakes . I made a big one when I got hooked on the oxy . I knew better but shit happens .
WHen I'd had enough I found a Sub Doc and got myself fixed . Or at least I am not an addict anymore .
 
TheRockMonster; I have a question for you- how were you taking .25 mg of Sub? I get prescribed the 2mg ones (the small pills) and I can NEVER manage to break it down more than .5 mg. After that it just crumbles into dust. :( How did you do it? I want to take .25 mg for my last few days tapering, if possible.

jacksright; I'm not sure what you mean... I'm not having w/d's from lack of Suboxone? I'm still on it; my official quit date isn't until June 8th. I have very mild withdrawals because of the small dosage I'm on, but it's not like full blown withdrawals. Or... unless you're referring to those few days when I ran out of Sub and didn't have any. But I went to my doctor on Tuesday and he prescribed me more, and we set up a quit date for next month. Also you didn't come across as rude, no worries lol. I've seen rude before and trust me I didn't take offense to what you said! I already know I should have educated myself... someone else pointing that out to me doesn't bother me. I can't get offended by something that I've already acknowledged as a mistake on my part, you know? Anyway are you off the Subs now, or are you still on them? And if so how many mg's do you take?
 
I have the 2mg subutex pills. And a pill cutter. So i would cut the pill in half, so each of the halfs=1mg subutex. At this point i would crush a half of the pill into powder, and divide the powder into two piles, each one consisting of approxamitely .5mg subutex. Divide a .5mg pile in half, and youve got approximately .25mg subutex.

The easiest way to do it when it gets that small is to just break it all into powder and make 8 even lines. If it's 2mg then 8 lines should be around .25mg each.

Then just dump it under ur tongue
