Hey y’all! Need some help freeing myself from the thin orange prison cell. I put a context section at the bottom, but really only the first two sections matter in answering my question.
Where I need help: Spent about a month on high 24/7 7-oh doses, and have now been on buprenorphine for a little over two months. I’ve been tapering Suboxone and am down to IV’ing 1mg (equivalent to roughly 2mg subl/buccal) once in the morning. I have a decently large supply of SR-17018 coming in. In the past I tried to use a single gram to get off of 7-oh to no avail, but was on 24/7 doses of 500mg+ a day so go figure. I’ve been on 1mg IV/2mg subl for 4 days and am relatively stable, but still have some obvious withdrawal signs. It’s not unbearable, I can make it through the day and my mood isn’t great, but I’m not lying around in constant pain like cold turkeying 7-oh. Been using Imidanezil, a benzo supposedly void of dependence and tolerance, which has been a great help, along with pregabalin maybe once or twice a week. I’m still able to work on personal projects and even find joy in certain things despite the semi-rapid way I tapered (I know sub 2mg subl is where things get rough, so I am worried about that). I just hate the way bupe makes me feel, like it’s robbing me of my very essence, I don’t even enjoy music anymore and my libido isn’t gone, but I’d no where close to where it was. I really wanna be off asap.
The Question: I plan on starting SR-17018 tomorrow and am debating between dropping the Suboxone entirely tomorrow and front loading some SR or dropping down to 0.5mg IV / 1mg subl for a few days to a week before getting off entirely. Which would make more sense? I’m in a lucky enough living/financial situation that I can just take 2 weeks and lie in bed the whole time, although I’m hoping with SR and DSIP (whenever that comes in) I’ll be able to get through my days semi-normally. If you were in my spot, what would you do?
Context: (not necessary, just for more background)
Back in February I spent about a month on 7-oh. After cold turkeying for a week I couldn’t bear it and made one of the most stupid decisions of my life, getting on Suboxone/buprenorphine. So I’ve been on opioids (consistently, I’ve played around with many and had a brief kratom leaf dependence I broke with ease) for 3, maybe coming up on 4, months. My dose has jumped around quite a bit, I’ve used some 7-oh both to get high and to lower my Suboxone dose (surprisingly worked once). But my days of bupe and kratom alkaloids are over. A few weeks ago I made another very stupid decision, which was IV’ing my buprenorphine. This made everything worse, but I haven’t really felt some overwhelming urge to stop that part, I just want off Suboxone.
