Heroin Accelerating withdrawal via suboxone?

[newskin]

Normally heroin withdrawal takes about 2-5 days. Is it possible to accelerate heroin withdrawal by intentionally inducing precipitated withdrawal with Suboxone? IE will the total time one suffers be reduced if they throw themselves into severe withdrawal by taking a bunch of buprenorphine before they go into real withdrawal? The last time I used was about 6 hours ago and I've been shooting 0.5-0.75 g/day of decent heroin for the past 6 months.

Or will this just cause needless suffering?

Needless suffering. You will go into immediate and severe withdrawal. My last time in rehab, they made me wait 24 hours after last use before administering. I know at the clinic you must wait 48 hours after last use for Suboxone.

You would hate yourself.

So for all the thousands out there who've experienced precipitated withdrawal - you just ended up facing the exact same length of "regular" withdrawal following the experience?

It will just cause needless suffering, trust me.

Read up on precipitated withdrawal, it is extremely unpleasant.

There is no way to speed up heroin withdrawal. You will just have to wait for regular withdrawal to begin (which isn't going to take a whole long time), then use minimal amounts of buprenorphine to help reduce symptoms.

Finally, when people go through accelerated withdrawal in a medical setting, naltrexone is used, but only while the patient is put under; precipitated withdrawal while conscious would be a living hell.
