Exact sub taper after 7OH

[clneff]

Hi all, I'll try to keep this short but I've been in active addiction for around 15 years, half my life. I do not think there's inherently anything wrong about drug use if you can control and moderate, sadly I cannot and have known that for years. It was weed first, then opiates, then iv heroin, then iv meth, which I quit in August of 21. Sober for a few months, innocently grabbed a six pack, became an alcoholic up until November of last year.

Last summer I discovered 7oh, and although I managed to quit the alcohol the 7oh continued. I got on subs a month ago but have not been consistent, its like every other day I wouldnt take the subs and use 7oh instead.

I've went 3 days now without it, only 8mg of bupe each day. The longest since I started last summer. I do truly believe I am done with it. I feel like I am so close to being free.

Thanks for letting me tell my story, and all that leads to my question. My original plan was the sublocade shot, but I keep seeing stories of people dealing with bupe for months if not years.

I know if I'm going to break both I need to do it now before it continues and withdrawing from 7oh turns into a longer, worse withdrawal from bupe.

I am a complete baby about withdrawals. I also can't take time off work, my family does not know about this, so I'm ruling out cold turkey.

Can someone please, please outline for me the best way to taper down and off in lets say a 10 day frame? Using the bupe as little as possible as a tool just to tamper down the 7oh withdrawal more or less. As far as dosages I was taking 300mg's of 7oh a day, and sub days 8mg of bupe.

Thanks sm in advance, and thank you for taking the time to read. I am so close to a new life, one I've wanted for so long.

And sorry for the story telling, as I said no one really knows outside of myself about this latest part. It felt good just to write it out and tell someone.

I was using upwards of 600 to 800mg 7oh per day, and let me tell you, the emotional turmoil from the serotonin effects it began causing me even while ON it after a while, and especially while tapering was no joke for me. I'm talking emotional breakdowns, grown ass man crying with mommy. Suboxone will not cover that aspect. I used a powerful 64% MIT 91% alkaloid extract while tapering the 7oh. I would recommend you try using that until you get the 7oh down to a reasonable level. Also, 8mg of bupe is nothing to sneeze at. That is its own can of worms.

You need long term maintenance bro. Get a legitimate sript for buprenorphine and stay on it for at least 5 years minimum. Otherwise you'll just continue the cycle of relapse and withdrawal. if you lack the discipline to handle a bupe script then consider methadone.

A lot of people in the quitting7oh sub on Reddit and the resulting Discord server were using [a certain popular online service] to get a short-term script and many actually had success that way. About half said they had no withdrawal symptoms transitioning and half said they most certainly did feel the serotonin aspect still, highly dependent on dose. It's always good to taper that shit down first and take as little bupe as possible once you do. I've grown to really hate 7oh. I'll never touch it again. It fucked me right up. 5 years is kind of a crazy thing to throw out there...
