what is ACTUALLY easier to get off of, bupe or oxycodone

without regarding the risk of addiction and gaining tolerance and getting high..

which chemical is literally easier to get off of.
 
Definitely oxycodone.. No doubt. Bupe has a much longer half-life, making the withdrawal process last much much longer.

Although, I guess it depends on how much one is doing.. I know a lot of people who would say the withdrawals from oxycodone are worse than bupe, but don't last as long.. So to each his own.

But maybe I don't understand your question? What do you mean by "get off of", while saying to disregard addiction and tolerance?
 
i mean, to basically wean off of, which is easier. Which WDs are easier, im at 2mg bupe right now and its hard to wean from it, it was much easier to wean from the higher doses down to 2mg...like i just want to get the fuck off of opiates.

and what i mean is about addiction and tolerance..is don't educate me on how oxycodone is much more of a risk lol

any one else?
experiences?

Yeah.. The last few mg's of bupe are the hardest! I was on suboxone for a year @ 32mg's, and getting down to 2mg's was pretty easy, but the last few are freaking hard!

I think it probably just depends on what's easier for you.. For me, getting off a low dose of bupe is less painful, but lasts longer. Oxycodone for me is definitely more painful, but doesn't last very long compared to bupe.

If it were me, and I was already down to 2mg's bupe, I'd switch to between 10 and 20mg oxycodone (whatever minimum dose I needed), and just wean down to 5mg's as quickly as I could, then cold turkey it. But that's just me.

You could also stay on bupe and just start staggering your doses.. 2mg one day, nothing the next. Then 2mg again, then nothing.. Then eventually try to go 2 days without. And finally 3. After you can go 3 days without you can just kick from there.
 
yeah thats true... thanks a lot...ima keep trying to wean but if i get nowhere in a week i might try that ...its already been a almost a week at 2...i started at 32mg too like 4 months ago
