Hi, This is my first post under this name, I've been an active member since Jan 2002 and a lurker for the past years, sorry if I'm hijacking the thread but this is really interesting for me, I was on exactly tose patches (well German made, but been on them for 4years+) I used them for IBS & a Hiatal Hernia as well as for Manteinance after a 5year+ Oxy/H/Any Strong Agonist Habit....well ai've been on the patch on doses from 60mcg/h (3 20mg/20mcg per hour patches) so that was 1,44mg in 24 hours, I also performed extractions and used them sublingually so there were times I was getting more than 2-3Mgs a day, no suboxone tablets or any kind of sublingual bupe here, well I think all that sublingual use fucked me up as I have terrible IBS/Chronic Diarrheah though my last intestine results came fine and dandy I have something in my vesicular region (possibly Impacted fecal matter, and unless I took my bupe before going to sleep I have to spend 3-8 hours in the bathroom after waking up, that and the fact I was dependent on Bupe and with my obligations couldn't get off it and getting in the states without insurance was becoming an expensive hassle so taht's the main reason why I moved to South America and work at Finances from Home when I had a good job I really in the Medical Field and had settled down with a more mature-chill life and a wife (though things didn't end up that well, but that's another story and funny enough it didn't made me relapse) up in NYC....anyways fast forward about 8months and I've tapered from the same patches your hubby was wearing (the 5mg ones that release 5mcg/hour or 120mcg/24 hours) I sorta rushed went from 980mcg/24hr to 120/mcg hr in about 6weeks, and have been clean of Bupe for 16 Days now (since December 22 2013) I can get any benzo available in the country I reside, and I'm scripted Clonazepam,Diazepam,Pregabaline,Zolpidem And An Acquaintance is gonna get me some Clonidine from the states soon since it's not available here and I still feel like my head and legs are gonna pop.
Well I basically have 2 questions, I know my stomach problems/IBS don't have much to do with WD's but can they be making them worse even after 15 days? I've been taking Loperamide every couple of days now in the 2nd week (2' 4mg max on the first week, though it didn't hold me completely but being constipated feels worse) well tomorrow I have loads of work to do that needs face to face meetings, I didn't want to take buprenorphine even though I stockpiled just in case! cause taken at night it's the only thing it holds my stomach...well I got Tramadol today, and here stems my second question.
I'm suffering terrible insomnia and in 6hours I gotta meet an important person about a big business that would net me a couple months minimum wage, I took 300mg Tramadol 10 hours ago, and after 15days without opines for the first time in years it's giving me an ok buzz....nothing great but I'm feeling "normal" though insomniac but not tired, might be the SNRI/SSRI effect and about two hours ago I took 50mg diazepam, 150mg Pregabaline, 1,5 mg clonazepam half an hour later 200mg cimetidine and 45 mins later (a few mins ago) 12mg bromazepam 5mg alprazolam and 10mg Zolpidem (I have a monster benzo tolerance), I smoked a Dance World Joint but I.m still insomniac....I have Moby Dick but don't wanna smoke a Sativa Dominant strain, it's 5am and I really need my sleep, I took 6mg of loperamide to be able to work tomorrow, but I was wondering if the Tramadol has anything to do with me being insomniac but not uncomfortable, and also I'm worried I might have reseted my WD's with the Tramadol intake...In rehab in the past detoxing from way stronger stuff I got Poppy Pods and Hydrocodone Smuggled and it didn't set me back that much, but I was in a closed environment...I still have 700mg of Tramadol that I might take with a friend 250 each on Friday and then save the 200mg for like 3weeks after that, I wanna know if I'm really setting back the WD's and if the agony is gonna start again, I know people use trams for WD's and to maintain when it's the only thing they can get, but I'm really looking forward to stop daily use, and this time I really want it! even if it's prescribed daily use! anyways I'll be going thru a surgery in a few months so I might be back, but at least I want to have my tolerance low for that fentanyl anesthesia...
Sorry fir the rant and lack of paragraphs, also I haven't done coke in ages due to my IBS but this business contact says she's got some Peruvian Fish Scale (and I've seen her and seen her do it and it seems top notch, I won't disclose my location but getting awesome coke here is easier than getting good weed, well not for me cause I love weed and don't care much about coke, but for everybody else it's that way) and since we've been doing really good in biz last month and the year has just started and yesterday and today we are gonna be doing very good if all goes as planned and know that due to my IBS I don't drink alcohol but an odd Bloody Mary with immodium or a couple of beers with antiacids she wanted me to have some with her tomorrow and wanted trams, I told her not to mix coke and trams, I'm gonna take loperamide (haven't done coke in years, and haven't done coke without an opioid in decades) I was wondering if doing coke 24hours after doing Tramadol after 15datpys in bupe WD's is "safe" (I won't do more than a third of a gram in a 4-6hour period), and well the thing abiut the trams resetting my really hard 15day bupe WD's would suck...I was never a big fan of trams, especially after having the good stuff but it's been a while and they got me Hugh and took many of the symptoms (allergies, hot/cold flashes, lethargy with insomnia....now it's being hyper and insomniac) away...I still have to get the Clonidine compounded and here DXm only comes in syrup I can't stomach...was wondering about using it as a wd aid, I used it in the past and it help, on New Years I did LSD and 25I-NBOMe with loperamide and it felt great but my old homie made me go to a bar befor my NYE dinner and didn't stop buying me drinks so I ended up paying due to the booze, but ten psychs helped....well if gram in moderation (once very 10-15 days fora max 45-50 day period) then I might consider it as that way I could make 2 business and one pleasure trip (to Uruguay nonetheless, though I'll have to bring my own weed it seems from what I've been hearing from people, it's gonna take 6 months for the system to be implanted and for a Gringo like me it's asking for being ripped off, whilst the customs are a joke and anyways I won't take more than an eight and the cops there don't care) but then again if the ocassional Tramadol (it's SSRI/SNRI properties work great for meeting with customers I never met in real life, and would take a shitload of lope and benzos to get it done on a half assed way the way I am now) but if it's gonna hold me back in my recovery I'm open to any plans....keep in mind it's summer here (110 degrees, no joke) and that in less than 3months I'm going thru surgery with full anesthesia and even though I have no problem telling my anesthesiologist and doc if I partaked in more opines when I left the patch 15days ago I want to know what to expect and how long will the PAWS/lethargy/antisocial mood will last when I'm off opines and if tehrE was an SSRI/SNRI I could take that could mimick Tramadol (yeah I can Get MDMA and methylene, but was thinking something I could ask a doctor) well so sorry for the ramble, this is my first post and want to know what to expect, especially after tomorrow whe the Tramadol will be gone of my body and I'll prolly won't be able to say no to the celebratory coke line...well I have much more things I'd like to ask but I think this is more than enough, thanks a lot all you bluelighters, even on my lurking days you were always there for me....well another J of Dance World and let's see if I can sleep....on the upside I'm dreaming again, I thought it was the pot and benzos not letting me remember my dreams but it was the bupe, we'll see with the Tramadol, I hope I haven't fucked up using it on my 16th day of bupe wd. Thanks a lot once again!,
