Hello everyone,
Have browsed the forum a few times in the past few years, but i'm a new member. Signed up for some advice on quick taper using suboxone.
First off i know you can't just use a magic taper and get thru withdrawals painfree.. but i've been reading that you can minimize the pain but i'm confused on which method is best or proven to work for most.
Little background; been using oxy for about 5yrs pretty steady with a few breaks(3 actually) of only a month each time. June of this yr started suboxone and used it daily for 5months-about 4mg a day. Quit it at the first of december(the 4th) and started back on oxy. Have been using oxy daily since, about 240mg a day.
Today i decided enough is enough and have only taken 20mg at 6pm and 20mg more at 9:30pm because the wd was unbearable after 25hrs since last dose the day before.
Now i'm looking for advice on how to taper with suboxone. I have PLENTY to use that i've saved up but do not want to take longer than needed. I was put on subs a few yrs back (knowing nothing about it) and went with the drs orders and was on 16mg a day for a month straight and the wds from that were absolute hell.. so i am weiry on taking large doses of sub.
I am ready to try to use sub to quickly taper off since i have been off of it for a few weeks and on SAOs.. hoping the wd wont be long since doing this, thats what i (believe) i read correctly.
Anyways i'm confused of how to taper off the sub. How long should it take? I'm reading 7days? 2weeks? 4weeks-8weeks? I am ready for this and i'm willing to feel pretty crappy just wanting to get off easier as long as the sub taper doesnt do more harm than good and just drag it out only to still go through bad wds once i taper completely off the sub at the end.
Thanks,
