Bupe Bupe withdrawal & substituting.

[TheKidThesis]

I've been on subutex & suboxone for over 2 years now & up until last week today have made a choice to detox cold turkey from it due to it causing various life problems & turning me into a walking motionless mute. Anyways so I was 5 days in the detox & feeling okay for once & out of nowhere BAM! hit with INTENSELY powered withdrawl symptoms.. (guess the half life wore off) -___-. So I picked up 25 7.5/325 oxycodone tablets to try to ween myself off & get to the ending stages of this fucking god awful withdrawl & have took around 40-50mg's for 3 days now.. is this gonna make me detox from the pills now & prolong this god awful process I was just trying to fucking stop? I'm an addict, I don't have all the best answers & tend to act on impulse at times.. & I know getting the percocet wasn't super smart but I COULD NOT WITHSTAND another day of restless legs, constantly draped in sweat, hot & cold flashes, & bone aches.. Help me guys, anything you can do.. THANKS a ton! this is also my first post on here(under this name) so respects to the site & hopefully ya'll can guide me through this. I love ya'll. -Thesis.

Really going cold turkey off bupe after two years of maintenance was the thing that wasn’t supper smart. You basically set your self up for a hellish detox than very few can actually handle. You should have at least tapered, but what’s done is done.

Picking up the percs was really not that bad of a move as it will at least give your body a little taper/letdown time from the opiates. I mean when you run out of percs your going to still have withdrawals but depending on how much sub your were on and how long you stay on the percs your should be more or less facing short acting full agonist withdrawals rather than the bupe withdrawals. I mean you are still going to experience the tail end of bupe WD and I can almost guarantee that you will have some fairly siever PAWS, but if you are committed and do the right things you could find yourself a completely different person 6months to a year from now.

Congrats to you for making the life changing decision to end your life with opiates, just watch out for those relapses as they tend to sneak up on you, and especially be very careful and have a plan with those percs as you could very easily end up just picking up a perc addiction. I would suggest cutting ties with your perc source or if that is not an option tell them not to give/sell you any more regardless of what you do or say.

Hope I have been helpful, let me know if you have any questions.

You'd be surprise how much perspective I got reading that. Thanks a bunch cause with this fucking withdrawal you never know exactly where you are in which stage of it.. one minute you can feel okay & then 2 minutes later your drenched feeling creature-esque. As far as the tapering I went down from 16 mg's to anywhere from 6 to 2 mg's daily by feel in 6 months & then just quit cold turkey & god I feel like it.. I think Im passed to worst of it well I'd like to hope.. last time I thought that I got hit with a tsunami so we'll see how this pans out.. tbh, I do feel how the Percocet can be addictive esp. when you have the choice to take them over feeling awful.. but I am driven to get off everything man, I'm so disgusted in drugs (subs & had a 4 1/2 year heroin run that ended a year & half ago by getting on subs) for what they have done to my life I'm starting to look at them as cancer instead of magic elixir.
