Bupe Lope- between sub and next appt

[birdcatcher]

welp, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I have 1mg of sub left and my doc appt is 5 days away for my refill. bare minimum, I need 1mg/day (alcohol/bupe solution-high BA) to function. I was thinking of a 2-3 day stint on loperamide (immodium) to try to bridge the gap. Although there is plenty of info on lope and W/D's I cant seem to find anything pertaining to my situation exactly. my biggest concern is if there is a potential to go into precipitated W/D or something like that. I also know there is the potential it wont work all that well either.
before one passes judgement I will say that although I have abused my subs in the past this isnt the case here. I fronted some of my supply to someone in need and low and behold they didn't pay back as promissed.
so what the heck am I gonna do? approaching my doctor early isnt an option so I need to find a way to stave off excessive W/d till Friday morning. any thoughts?????

you wont go into precipitated withdrawal. youd need a lot of loperamide for a long time. if you just ease on suboxone slowly you can always avoid precip withdrawal anyway no matter what youre on.

Ask your doc for an earlier appointment?? I have had to do that before with my pain doc.

My wife went on Subs last Friday and she is going to have to go back a couple days earlier than planned.. but that is because he doesn't have the dose right just yet.

I have used Lope to bridge the gap with my Dilaudids before.. but it wasn't fun.. at all.. It did hold withdrawals at bay tho.

Well I say it held them.. It kinda held them.. I was still in withdrawal.. but it wasn't the ultimate hell that it would have been without it.

thats good to know. last thing I need is to totally f&*^ this week up (or after my refill) with PW. I think I'm going to wait 24 hrs after my last, small sub dose then start taking the lope in small incriments until the point of relief then just try to maintain for the next 48-72 hrs, wait, then start taking .25mg of sub incrimentally until I've used the 1mg. that should get me to the eve before my am refill. this is fucking rediculous.................. never again

my doc has pretty much left me alone and at the 3mg/day I normally take cuz I bena good boy. Early appt would mess that up. rather w/d for a few than be on the shit list.
I will probably move the appt up a day though.
What was the not "fun" part from your lope experience

What was the not "fun" part from your lope experience

The not fun part was because I was still in withdrawal.. just not the ultimate hell that withdrawal really is.. more like early withdrawal stages for the whole ride.. it took ALOT of Lope to keep me there tho.. like 20 2mg pills every 12 hours if I remember correctly.

Oh and my experience was with Oxycodone at the time.. not sure how well it will do ya with subs.. I have no knowledge about subs except for seeing what my wife had gone through this last few days.
