10 day bupe detox in hospital

[phatass]

Hi all,
I'm going to do a 10 day buprenorphine detox in hospital, and i want to be clear with the doctors what meds i will be given so as not to be negotiating meds throughout the detox.
I am allready on baclofene, ethyl loflazepate (benzo), lormetazepam and abilify.
I was thinking apart from the "traditional" stuff they ill give me like naproxen and or derivatives and loperamide, asking for quetiapine (seroquel) to try to sleep through most of the detox, and valium for obvious reasons... I have heard a little about gabapentin and pregabalin for bupe tapers, would these really make a huge difference? and why?
I don't want to come across like i'm sort of doing my detox "a la carte", i just want to be clear with the doctors how it will go from the start. I doubt there will be a problem getting some seroquel, the others will be more difficult to get, even if its just for approx. ten days.

So what meds are the most important to have when doing a rapid bupe taper/detox?

And has anyone here done an inpatient, bupe detox? What meds did you get? how did it go?

thanks all

It isn't possible to sleep through it. It's ok to take drugs to get sleep with doctor supervision of course - just know there will still be a lot of unpleasantness.

Best of luck - I am sure you can do this.

You sure they're gonna give you benzos in there? That would be pretty unusual. I think the gabapentin/pregabalin might be a little more realistic, and yes they really do help.

It seems like most often they'll not give you controlled substances in detox, so you'd better get that cleared up from the get go!

Once you get checked into the detox hospital, they will ask you upon intake what meds you're currently taking. Then you will be assigned to a doctor and that doesn't always happen right away. It would help to bring the medications in their bottle if they're something that you need to use. Ultimately the doctor will decide what medications are best for you while in his/her care. Make sure it's clear and you ask what they plan on giving you because you don't want to be surprised when it comes time to get your medications. Wish you luck through this!
