hey guys, so at this moment, I am fed up with the game. You know...waking up ill, finding a way to get enough money to cop, copping...experiencing a couple minutes of bliss after the shot, stabilizing, then repeating the circle the next day.

I'm not even getting high, just getting well after feeling shitty. I did my last shot of dope yesterday, today i took 250mg of tramadol 20 minutes ago at 1:30pm, and I have only one suboxone 8mg tablet. Its not possible for me to get more, if I were to explain why it would take more time to read, so please do not suggest acquiring more.

Many of you state that less is more with suboxone, and many people take very low doses of suboxone, since bup is fairly strong.

Can anyone please layout a taper schedule for me, with the 1 suboxone? This is what i have so far:

day 1: 2mg

30 hours later on day 2: 2mg

30 hours later on day 3; 2mg

Day 4: 1mg

Day 5: 1mg.


Do you think that these dosages are appropriate? If not, how should I divide the dosages. Thanks
 
well, i can say from experience it is possible, however when i did it i had 2 8mg pills. i would wait till you are feeling like total shit, take 4mgs, that should last you for well over a day, after that take 2mgs, but take it exactly 24 hours after the 4mgs, this way, you will have some overlap going on, eventually lefting you down gradually. day 3 take 1mg, same thing, 24 hour mark. day 4 take .5, day 5 .25, at this point you will most likely have just dust left from the pill, maybe some tiny crumbles. once it gets to be dust you could do little lines, or keep doing it sublingually. it would also be great if you had some clonidine and maybe valium to make the transition easier. you could try 2, 2, 2, as i dont think it would be too different than 4, 2, 1,

the times i did this i always went down by half the following day, always at the exact time i took it the day before.
 
thanks medicine cabinet. I've seen tons of your posts so your opinion weighs heavy for me. Plus you are from baltimore, which is my area as well. I'll try that.
 
How big is your habit and how long have you been using? That's what's really going to be the big indicator in how bad your kick is going to be.. and thus, how effective a given dose of suboxone is going to be.

If you're not doing large amounts of H and haven't been at it forever, then 8mgs of suboxone should definitely work for you. I mean, it might not be painless but.. certainly 10x better than cold turkey.

If you want my suggestion for a taper plan with only 8mg's, it would look something like this.

Day 1: 4mg
Day 2. 2mg
Day 3: 1mg
Day 4: .5mg
Day 5: .5/or .25mg
Day 6: hop off or .25 again then hop off

The 4mg dose to start off with will have a better chance at taking away your symptoms and giving you more of a build up of bupe in your system. Remember it has a long half-life. Then, the sub-milligram doses at the end will make jumping off completely much easier.
 
ive been shooting dope for 7 years, off and on, with bupe maintenance in between. My insurance ran out, I got laid off, and my money has been scarce. I was doing 5-8 decent shots a day for a while, but for the past two weeks or so, I have been doing only one shot a day mostly. For days that I havent had dope, I substituted with tramadol, like today I took 250mg.

I'm not able to use the tramadol anymore, and I have that one bupe.

That taper plan looks good, its similar to the one medicine cabinet suggested. Thanks Scagnattie
 
i would start higher with a dose as high as 4mg the first day, so that will totally take away symptoms, and then doses after that will sort of build off that, because bupe has an incredible half life, and then use more like .25mg or .5mg the last 2-3 days
 
I agree with the others saying to do something like 4-2-1-0.5-0.5 or however you want to break down the last 0.5.

It will work a lot better if you wait until you are really sick before you start. Make it to at least the 24 hour mark and it will pay off, otherwise that first dose won't really take well, and the whole thing will be affected by that since the next days dose wouldn't work that well either. It's important to get this right the first time since you only have the one pill.
