I am about to detox 8o (so they call it, how pure it is i am in great doubt, ity could be anything really but ow do i know??) and also some oxicontin eariler in the week (4 days ago)... Tomorrow morning day one? I AM TERRIFIED - not scared but terrified 8o as it is my 5th atempt in less than a year. I had tried the suboxone but the way i was treated by every single person made me jump straight back into the frying pan!! I know i am the IDIOT:X for starting the whole thing agian but here i am? There has to be an end to it all or i feel like i am going to die - either way>>> but now dont get me wrong a i am NOT sucidial in any way or form, it was simply an analiss of the way I am feeling? As you will see shortly by what i am about to ask everyone... I have access to the following tablets in great enough amounts that i can self medicate this detox... I honestly ask REAL advice as to WHAT - WHERE - HOW MANY - ETC... 8)
So I have
--Suboxone (8mg) Tabs X 6
(2mg) Tabs X 12

--Pramin (metoclopramide) (10mg) (It is a anti-vomit tablet, I think it could be stemtil or the other one)

--Valium (5 mg) x 40
--Valium (10mg) X 80
(They are from overseas- seems to work the same and is brand name if that means anything?)
--Clonazepam (0.5mg) Tabs x 88
-- Hypnodorm (1mg) Tab X 1
--Stillnox (10mg) x 10


My question is how do i use these drugs and how many what should and shouldn't i combine, so i obviously DONT have a suicdal mission as I am asking advice for my survival> :o I have an enormous tolerance to anything? :p I haven't had ANY of these tablets at ALL in the past week except 1 x stillnox last night for bed? :| So as they work at thier best tolerence? :( CAn somemone help me - I am planning obviously to self medicate so I was thinking of just trying to knock myself out with valium to sleep until i wake each time - keeping an eye on taking too many? :( The clonazapam may work better i am unsure if it will make me sicker? Last time i tried to do this i took the suboxone too early and went into several hours of severe withdrawal and a hospital visit. :( I CANNOT go to the hospital again - (I have my reasons and it is not pride) So i need anyones help? I have spent months saving these drugs talking to a very patient doctor (but he does not know anything about my using>) and piling them up as the scripts came in?
I look forward to someone replying with advice that can help me?
Thank you for listening...;)

What was the length of time, and dosage of what you were taking?

If you take suboxone to detox, only use it for 3 or 4 days. It is quite powerful, and most people find that their withdrawal subsides after taking 2mgs. Seriously, people with very extreme heroin habbits have been fine with 4mgs, so you should start with 2mgs and be patient and see if it works.

So since you have the 8mg suboxones, break them into quarters. You will probably only need one whole pill for the detox. 2mgs the first and second day, 1 mg the next, skip a day and take even less than that (eyeball it I guess).

Since the suboxone will take care of the withdrawals, I would save the other meds particularly the valium and cloazepam for when you are done taking the suboxone. So on day 5 or whatever it is a day or two after the suboxone, take the valium only if you feel some withdrawals creep up on you.

The other option is to not take any suboxone, and rely completely on the other meds to knock you out. Some people think that suboxone and methadone just prolong an inevitable withdrawal. I agree with this for long tapers, but if you only take it for 3 or 4 days at low doses, you should be fine. I kicked a moderate dose longterm habit with 4 days of methadone and did not experience any discomfort at all.

You have options, but I would do the first of the two that I mentioned. And yes, wait until your feeling pretty shitty before taking the suboxone so that you don't have the precipitated withdrawals again. Look up the half-life of the opiate you took, and if twice that time has elapsed, you should be in the clear to take the suboxone if you are feeling bad withdrawals.

Good luck
 
You said you took oxycontin 4 days ago, if that's right you should be well into withdrawls by now. what am I missing here?
 
If you use more drugs to fight withdrawals, you are not detoxing, you are just avoiding withdrawal...

True detox is avoidance of all drugs...

Pramin could possibly make your withdrawal worse...

You have way too many benzodiazepines/Nonbenzodiazepines to safely detox rationally.
Regardless of the fact, you are gonna end up getting high on them...

Get rid of everything... If you don't, the pain is only gonna hit you in the face if you don't stop until you run out of all those pills.

Yeah, what's missing? After four days you should be coming out of the worst of the wds? 3-4 days of taking sub is not long enough to cover the duration of most opiate detoxs. A week to ten days is more ealistic. I agree with the amount though, more often than not 4 mgs covers the wds.
