Getting off Suboxone by jumping onto Heroin?

Hello there everyone.

I am 25 years old (female), and have been addicted to opiates, mainly IV heroin since the young, ripe age of 16. About two years ago I went into detox
for a gram a day heroin habit and discovered Subutex, took until the next day to really kill the WD's, but I thought it was a miracle drug. After being discharged from detox, a few days later without anything and I was back to feeling like sh*t. So the doctor at my outpatient prescribed me 8 mg Suboxone daily, and it went on like that for 2 years or so, with me jumping off at 2mg, going to detox and kicking xanax and alcohol as well, then I was discharged and went into mild withdrawals. After 11 days I was so sick of feeling terrible that I caved and did some roxi, and eventually that led me back to the heroin, where I am now back at a gram or so daily IV (and god it is expensive, I'm having to wait until at least 7 am to do the last bag I have right now until my people wake up). I am planning on taking another break from the shit, and I DO NOT want back on Suboxone. I was just going to cold turkey it, I do have 4 or 5 8 mg strips of Suboxone for when it gets really bad though. After being off the Suboxone for so long, and after I kick the heroin, do you think I will be in the clear from everything? Anyone have experience doing it this way?
 
There is no way your going to completely avoid withdrawal. I think your best bet would be to start at 2mg of sub a day and rapidly reduce that dose over a week. Anymore than a week and risk becoming dependant on the sub and the prolonged withdrawals that occur from its dependance. But the most important question is what is going to keep you from relapsing once the sub is gone and PAWS kick in? After all kicking is easy staying clean is the battle.
 
That is always the problem isn't it! For now though, even getting physically clean would be huge for me, it has been almost three years since I havent been chemically dependent on an opiate. Babysteps.
 
Look in to Kratom, specifically Bali Kratom. It really is the perfect transition substance from subs/heroin to sobriety if you're done with getting high and just want to live a normal life while avoiding dopesickness and PAWS.

I have tried Kratom before, but with my willpower if I have money in my hands I'll be going to see my dope dealer, not to the smoke shop. :P
 
I'm going to bump this over to OD - they are the experts at opioid addiction. Hope that's okay!
