Hi,I've done this a few times . I've messed it up a couple of times too by accidentally getting hooked on the suboxone. I get physically addicted easy.
Ok so it's best to wean down on your opiate DOC as much as you can before you start .
You will need tramadol (optional)
Comfort drug like cannabis or a benzo.(optional)
Enough Suboxone for 5 days
Enough Methadone for 5 days.
The goal is to use these 2 drugs to keep u well while the opiates leave your system , ( approx 2 weeks 14 days ) while avoiding dependency on either..
You will still feel weak and crappy , but you will be ok .
Step 1 - So , i start with tramadol while I'm waiting the 24 hours to take the suboxone. I wean down on the sub during the 5 days because I get physically addicted fast. Like I'll start with a strip and over the 5 day period I go down to 2 mg .
If you don't think you will get addicted to the sub in 5 days , then take as much as you need for 5 days , to not get sick.
Step 2 - STOP the suboxone! and wait 3 days for the it to leave your system. Because of the half life you feel ok , but you can take tramadol along with any other comfort drug to make it easier.
Now you are 8 days into your detox , one more week to go !
Step 3 - Now start the Methadone, again, take as much as you need to stay well . 5 days on anything, typically, isn't long enough to get hooked for most people.
Step 4 - STOP the Methadone. It also has a long half life so it will be in your system for the next 3 days.
You are on day 13 ! You feel weak and emotional but otherwise ok.
Congratulations you just detoxed yourself from opiates without getting sick.
Rehab or NA is vital at this point if you want to stay clean. You will experience PAWS , which is no joke. Utilize the recourses in your area .
Good job ! Good luck!!
Let me know what you think.
