Hello

Brand new here. No clue how to figure out where to post this so here goes-

I had about 6 yrs clean from heroin until recently.(still do from that) For a couple years now I've been taking 2-30mg Percocet. Started out as 1-2x a month then 1x week. now it's every other day, either taking those or 2-3mg suboxone. Never using 2 days In a row. I alternate so I'm really only taking Percocet 2x week & suboxone 2x. I'm at the point where I just feel like shit all the time unless I'm on them. I'm terribly depressed too. Nothing that's like detoxing off a screaming heroin habit but I have a FT job &a 1&1/2yr old so I can't just take a couple days to just lay around & feel like crap. I have done a short term suboxone detox before yrs ago when I came off 80mg methadone thAt I wAs on for 4 yrs. I started out w 2mg of sobo& cut down to .25 within 3months. I felt NO withdrawals at all coming off the sobo. I am not in such a great mental state as I am dealing with a ton of stress&issues. My questions is, should I just go on sobox for a month or 2. S
tart out low doses & ween off again until I get to a better mentAl state to where I feel "normal" again ??? I'm SO scared &so confused. Please help me.
 
My advice is yes. Go on a low dose for a short time. It seems like you want and need to be done, and this course of action makes the most sense.
 
yea. I just feel like i can stop w/out taking ANYTHING at all b/c im not in completel physical withdrawal. Ya, i feel a little crappy but nothing i cant handle. I think for the MENTAL part of it, and just getting used to living life everyday w/out taking "drugs" is what i need to do. But i'm scared that i wont have such an easy w/drawal from the subs this time, like last time. I dont know why. But i read all these horror stories about how hard it is for peopl to withdraw from them, and i dont get it. I never had that experience. But now im thinking i might. Ughhhh. the battle!!!!!!!!!!!
