I've in an odd situation, I've been taking loperamide to suppress wd but it's really start to fuck my system up. I want to switch to sub so I don't cause permanent harm to intestines or something else. The wd from lope is pretty ridiculous for a drug that isn't fun at all. I get goosebumps, diarrhea, nausea after smoking, chills, muscle aches, RLS, and stomach pains. I can't say I felt really depressed or anxious though, just really sick. I'm planning on going off opiates cold turkey bc I have some time off so I'm going to use sub till that point. I was just wondering how long I should wait to take the sub. I see the mean half-life of lope is 10.5 hours but I don't know how to determine how long I should wait till I take the sub from that information. I don't really want to feel sick when I go to work tomorrow, I'm scheduled to go in 32 hours after my last dose of lope. Will that be enough time?
 
Wait until you feel sick (withdrawals) then take 2-4mg of Suboxone, take more if you feel you need to.

Closing this because it is Suboxone Mega Thread material
