Hi all. I haven't been on the forums in A WHILE so I am not sure if this belongs in a megathread or somewhere else, I understand if it needs to be moved. Since I am discussing both drugs, I decided to just start my own...
My situation is as follows: I am currently on MMT @ 70mg per day. I have wanted to make the switch to bupe for sometime, but have been unable to do so for financial reasons. Perhaps the cost is similar in the end, but funds are available on a day to day basis right now, so I can't really save money to get my initial doctor visit and all it entails and then pay for the script, even generic. My X amount of dollars a day is easier for me.
However, today, as luck would have it, my bf's little sister has made a new "friend" lol (she's dating the guy I guess) and he would like to help out. I am not sure on the rules, so I will be vague. I will have 8mg suboxone at my disposal tomorrow, in necessary quantities, so I can make the switch. Today, I did not take my daily 70mg dose. I used heroin, and quite a bit of it. Let's say a gram? So, tomorrow I do not plan on dosing at the clinic. I am going to take this opportunity (that being a day off of methadone) to go ahead and make the switch.
SOOOOO what I am trying to ask is: when and how much? I know I should wait until I am in strong WD. I was on the clinic for years, so it is definitely saturating my receptors
I know about half lives and whatnot, but I would appreciate advice as to when it should be "safe" to take the suboxone. Second, I have been on BL long enough I have heard about this "less is more" thing, but I would like to discuss it in relation to situation if you please. I figure I will just go ahead and start with 4mg? See how that is going, then take the other 4mg half if I am still sick. The day after that, I suppose I will be able to re-evaluate the amount I need to take.
I would appreciate everyone's advise concerning my switch. I haven't been a part of the community for a long time, but you all are the first ppl I thought to ask, and I am sure you all have good advice/recommendations for me
I AM SO EXCITED about getting off of the full agonist opioids. I have had a lot of lethargy, and worse (nueropathies and other reactions), not to mention suboxone will give a blocking affect I NEED to prevent relapse. I am ready to get clean...er. lol. Let me know if there is anything I can add to better assist. THANKS
