Hi i am attempting to detox myself at home with one 8mg Suboxone and need some info on how to dose and what time and when

I when to rehab and the detoxed me on a 5day detox with subutex like this
First day= 2mg tabs every 4 hrs
Second day=2mg tabs every 8 hrs
Third day=2mg tabs every 12 hrs
Fourth day= 2mg tab every 24 hrs
Fifth day= nothing

Please give me help in detoxing with one 8mg Subuxone as a rapid detox rather than a 5 day detox i felt minimal w/d symptoms on the 5day detox
but i think i will do better with less doses and less days, but i do beleive in the half life of suboxone

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated

Thank you in helping me to get clean again

My normal dose of oxy is 90-150mg of oxycodone or 40mg of opana(oxymorphone) a day

I am getting clean because i have to wake up early for my new job and do not desire to get high all day anymore

Thank you again
 
Well you don't have nearly enough to do anything like the taper you mentioned anyway with only one 8mg pill, but you can still do a quick taper; I used to do the same with one pill a lot in the past.

You say you want a 'rapid detox,' I'm going to assume that means a 2 or 3 day detox and not a 'take suboxone and force withdrawal' detox. Try something like

Day 1: 1mg every 6-8 hours or as needed (3-4mg/day)
Day 2: 1mg every 8-12 hours " " " (2-3mg/day)
Day 3: 0.5mg every 8-12 hours " " "(1-1.5mg/day)
Then Stop. Or if needed you could take small doses for day 4, say 0.25mg, no more than two or three times a day (0.75mg or less/day). Then stop.
At first I typed a schedule with a little smaller dose each day but saw it would leave you with about 1.5mg at the end and there's no point in leaving any behind. Really though, go with what your body is telling you and take it only if/when you need it, not because you feel like you should. I'm pretty stoned so I don't have much more to say, but good luck to you and I'm sure multiple other people will post and can address any questions you have. Peace.
 
listen to the above poster! a gram a day IV heroin habit never needed more than 1-4mg, so just go with as low as you can and stretch the dosing out...good luck.
 
yea, just wait it out until you are in hell, then take just enough to feel a little relief such as dosing 1/2 a mg every hour. then wait till you are in hell again and take a little less than the first time and just repeat till you are done.

i am in the same position as you but i have about 16 mgs to go through.
 
anyone else trying this, try to end your taper on a Thursday. That way you have the weekend to deal with issues. The half life of Subs is over 70 hours. You could even stop on Weds. and tough out Friday. By Monday some of the heavy duty shit would have happened on Sat-Sun. Start exercising too. Just walks in the evening will help a lot.
