Opioids a little advice on getting off oxy

[ladianios]

So I have been on about a 16 month tear on oxy and as of the last five months or so my usage is about 100-130 mg a day. I am gonna try to kick and I have about 40mg of sub, a script of clonidine, and a handful of xanax and kpin. I am asking some with experience or someone who has used the meds I have on the best way to use what I have and what to expect. I would like to thank all in advance for advice.

^You definitely have the right stuff to do it, but that's a relatively modest habit, and too much suboxone for too long could prolong it and make it worse...I don't have time to lay out a taper for you, but I wouldn't do the sub for more than 10-14 days in very low doses ,<2mgs in your situation...but that's just my opinion..

Hey bro, Im currently doing what you will attempt!!! Magnesium is working wonders for me right now. I hear the clonidine is similar to neurontin and that helped me quite a bit last night. Im on day 3 and was around your dosage for around the same 5 month period. I did taper down though, so the wd's wouldnt be so bad. Xanax is bomb man, if you plan to be on sub make sure you wait 16 hours w/ no oxy before taking it or you'll get super sick. If you want more stuff Lopramine takes away most all wd symptoms... I have not used it so I'm not sure what it would cure... My general idea is that it is possible to make symptoms drag on longer if you take it but I cannot say from experience and it could be different for anybody. Let me know if you have questions. I got about another 2 days in my oppinion of this hell, and then it should start to look brighter ^^ If you REALLY want to quit, its not as difficult. I tried to quit once and didnt really wanna quit and just got pulled back into it. Good luck brother

You have plenty of meds to detox with. You can use the subs alone to kick very comfortably.

Rapid taper. Do it quickly even if its uncomfortable. Im six days in and was taking similar doses of oxy and heroin. I did 4mgs for four days and got through the worst of it. I would suggest taking the benzos only for sleep. I relied on them the last time I quit and ended up having to kick xanax which was way worse.

Do a week or so long taper. You most likely wont need more than 4mg's the first day, and certainly no more than 6-8mgs. So then decrease it by 25% a day until you're around .25, then hop off.

What can I expect after I drop the sub....u think I will be able to grind thru a few hours of work a day?

 

[ladianios]

any more advice out there?

You can expect to feel like shit the following weeks no matter what you do. Gotta pay the piper sometime

If this is the case is a short taper from sub a waste?

Yeah you'll be fine. If you come off a low dose of sub, the withdrawals are minimal. You'll feel crappy and uncomfortable, but you'll be able to function normally.
