Hey all, so I've been on subutex for 6 months. Relapsed like 2/3 times in that period since the bupe does nothing to make me feel good. The other issue is that I've been snorting the bupe and my nose is fucked.
I know I can't keep doing this and I want away from H for good. I really do. But I can't function with nothing, so I'm meeting my doc tomorrow to ask to switch to methadone. My H habit was 2g a day, on subutex i can take anywhere between 16 - 24mg a day and feel pretty much the same. Not high, just not sick, but still depressed and not really up for doing anything at all. I've been avoiding methadone and was adamant against it from the get go. But now I've heard they can do methadone for a period and when you're ready, really ready to come off opiates they'll do a 7-14 day switch to oxy or something with no methadone then put you on bupe for a fast taper.
I feel like this might be the best method for me at this point? I've tried getting clean with fuck all - tried like 12 times and relapsed every time. It was only after like 8 months clean I relapsed then decided to go on subutex. This is a pattern that will not stop in my opinion until I get therapy, but I can't be doing with therapy unless i'm on opiates. They make me get up every morning and just get shit done. Subutex does not, it just makes me feel not sick but still depressed.
Am i being stupid thinking of starting methadone?
