Detox from 300mg Oxycodone per day

Methadone is better for life long maintenance. It is a full agonist, so there is little to no healing done. Subs are better if you ever plan to quit. Buprenorphine is a partial agonist, allowing you to quit with a much better shot at leading a clean life. Subs can definitely cover the size of your habit.
 
Actually I can taper down methadone and I couldn't taper down buprenorphine. I stopped at 8mg and I was already feeling bad then, going further was impossible for me. And I successfully tapered down on methadone a few times. I guess there's no rule to it.

Also there's no rule as for what's better for life long maintenance. Buprenorphine at much higher doses was alright for me, it felt a little speedy and it had a mild antidepressant effect. And I needed it a lot, I need it a lot all the time that something makes me more motivated for doing things and think more positive. On the other hand who should use buprenorphine? In my opinion it's better for people with less time spent in addiction/not heavy abuse. And methadone can help for anything, it doesn't have any ceiling effect as it's a full agonist and it really makes normal life possible when you "grew up" to a decision that you don't want to shoot up anymore and run after rush all the time as it never ends so it's pointless. I did grow up, I don't feel any urge to shoot up anymore and methadone helps me a lot. I couldn't function without it though I also have clonazepam (well, I couldn't function without both). Thanks to methadone my life is normal - I mean socially, I can study, I can go out etc. Struggling with other problems is another thing and neither drug ('done/bupe) can really help.
 
The first time I used bupe, I used it to taper in one week.

8mg first day, 8mg second, 4mg when I got sick again (about 36 hours), 2mg the next time I got sick (about 36 hours), 1mg every other day for 4 days, off

Only symptom I had of WD was insomnia that not even 400mg of seroquel could deal with. Good deal. It never worked this way for me again, but it's worth a shot if you don't want to go on maintenance. I did end up going on it for maint., as I couldn't stay clean.

subs can cover any habit true, but if you are doing upwards of 600mg like i read the first few days will not be enjoyable

comparing to people who take less than 150mg oxycodone a day and take suboxone and feel great the first day.
 
I usually take 200mgs a day iv several times a day... I just quit iv cause I had terrible 12 hr cotton fever.... I've switched to oral dosing and it seems now I need 200mg just to not get "sick".....

This blows the dosage I need for oral is like 2x I would need iv this shit makes no sense?.

I need to get some subs I'm gettn sick every 6 hrs unless I dose more...

I'm guessing the extreme intensity and less duration has really made wding from iv use pretty shitty?.

Suboxone doesn't make you feel good the first few days, after all the euphoria. It does kill the withdrawals though, but personaly I felt depressed for a week and I was switching from 120mg's of oxy.

If I was like the OP, I would switch to methadone, then switch to suboxone. But that's just me.

I would at least taper down to 100mg's
 
is it possible to experience some withdrawals just from switching to IVing to oral DOSING?

I feel like shit i dont know wtf is wrong........ i did have 12 hr cotton fever last night

i'm orally still taking oxy but my body is used to IV feeling every 2 hrs.... is this withdrawal im having?


I dont know if i should eat more or just wait it out


im never ivin pills again fuck this shit... even considering oxy aint really "worth Iving"
 
both of my parents are on methadone (oxycontin, for one, iv heroin for another) and have since completely turned their lives around and are nothing but successful and happy now. though they are scared of ever having to come off methadone, much more scared than their opiate addiction.
 
Suboxone is not going to be as expensive as a 300mg a day habit. People amaze me with Suboxone expenses, how did they afford their habit? There is no way a quick detox on Suboxone is going to cost you more than you already are spending on drugs
 
I just joined Bluelight 5 minutes ago so I no nothing about it. The posting dates all seem to be a few years old so don't know what the deal is. Your posting date is 3.5 years old. Hopefully you're clean by now and living a happy productive life like I'd like to do. I've been taking prescription oxy for 5 years. I've got legitimate back pain (two spine surgeries in 2013), but no question, I've abused this crap and used it intially when the pain wasn't all that bad. I take 30 mg a day of immediate release oxycodone. No aspirin, no acetametaphene, just the oxy. The easiest way to get off of this drug (for me) is to gradually taper the dosage. I've gotten down to 15 mg a day without withdrawal symptoms by reducing the dose 5mg a day every 15 days. My brain tells me the back pain increases so I go back to the 30 mg a day. Withdrawal for me can start by simply missing a dose in the middle of a day. Terrible anxiety, no appetite, can't sleep, etc, etc. I immediately take the missed dose plus an extra dose and still go through absolutely miserable withdrawal symptoms for 6-8 days no matter what I do. Anyway, I'm not helping you. I'm ranting because I'm withdrawing as I write this. I believe tapering the dosage is the most humane way for getting off of this misery.

This is pretty much exactly what I did also. I usually would quit oxycodone cold turkey but I had access to some subutex and long story short. Doing like this I had absolutely no withdrawls from the oxycodone (150 mgs per day 6 mths.) or the subutex. It seemed almost too good to be true!
