Getting off Suboxone with other opies

[jake99]

Anyone think it is easier to kick suboxone by using a dif opiate few days after weaning real low dose on subs ?
almost seem it Would be easier to do dope a few days , and then i ccould be little sick from the dope , but sub w/d is so long that using something like dope can give ur body chance to get ooff subs easier ?
anyone agree

NOT AT ALL!!!!

I tried it and its the worst decision ve ever made in my recover y.... so far...

just deal wt the sub withdrawl... its longer, but not as horrbible as h or oxy.....

go to NA

^At least in my area, Narcotics Anonymous frowns on the use of maintenance drugs (methadone and sub). They don't consider you "sober" unless you're 100% off all drugs.

Pisses me right off.

There IS a Methadone Anonymous type thing here, maybe youd have better luck seeking that out.

And yeah generally, unless you have the willpower of a god, it's best to stick to bupe.

If you do go to NA, do not tell them you are on maintenance. They will keep telling you they your sobriety date is wrong like every time you say it because you are still on a drug in the class of your choice. That willpower speech is absoulute bullshit if you have an I.Q. greater than 75.
In the end it's purely in your hands whether or not you abolish yourself from drugs.

It's known that once this speech is given to some, they do not get clean, simply because they let themselves go because they are brainwashed into thinking that they have no choice once they are addicted and only "God" can pull you through. This often becomes an excuse to keep using.

This leads to an impudent amount of false hope, which can hinder you in the end.

I've thought about this plenty of times, but with dope there is no chance in hell. Before you know it you;ll be back on the train full force.
Even attempting to use hydro to ween after the sub while most of the sub leaves your system, can be tricky.
I completely understand your train of thought but I think in the long run it's not worth it.
Just stick it out with the sub, tapering all the way down to .25mg or less if possible!

i always make is couple weeks on sub and end up on dope few days then back on sub etc etc

What dose are you kicking from, OP?

 

[jake99]

for last year or so its been back and forth with H and subs................recently i had 3 weeks on subs with no dope , then relapsed for 3 days with dope , than made it another week just subs , and another 3 day dope binge...............i tried to taper over that week and got down to about 1.5 mg then got high...........
my concern is i only have about 45 8 mg Suboxones and cant afford to keep going to a sub dr. every month . so i dont know the best way to make a good taper plan and stick to it
