Hello everyone,
I am a brand new member so I’m not sure about the etiquette etc on here or if I need to attach this conversation to a specific forum, but hopefully someone can help me along with the details.
Anyway I’m gonna just get straight into my issue:
I’ve been on buprenorphine now for nearly three years as part of my treatment for a oxy/dhc habit. I started on 8mg and I’ve been on 4mg now for about 4 months. Tbh I’m getting pretty sick of it and my one daily dose kind of controls my life. I’m finding it really hard to taper off. Anyway three days ago I decided to stop taking it altogether, more as an experiment than anything else. I’ve been bracing myself for the inevitable withdrawal, but nothing yet after three and a half days. I’ve read some horror stories on here and I don’t expect for a minute that I’ve got off that easy (I’ve done enough w/ds to know this never happens!). I guess what I’m hoping to find out is if anyone knows if it will stick to my receptors for longer as I’ve been on it for so long, and if so when should I expect the inevitable to hit?!
Thanks in advance.
