i have an idea brewing in my head, it could be insane like many ive posted here, but it just might work.


Basically im going to taper really rapidly with my methadone, and try to stop altogether and onto another opiate that i can then detox from with suboxone or subutex.


Im thinking of gathering all the opiate like drugs i can think of like tramadol, loperamide, diphenoxylate, lactucarium, dextromethorphan, dextropropoxyphene, (all easy to get in big doses as there OTC or easily scripted)

and stocking up on oxys so i can make a jump from about 100mg of methadone. (ill have methadone as backup if im gonna be really sick.)

once ive gone at least 10 days without methadone, ill switch to buprenorphine and do a 2 week detox. Ive got a really good place to do it, well away from negative influences and connections (2000km away!)

any thoughts on how to do this? Note i am NOT just going to throw a mountain of various pills down my throat and hope for the best and risk an overdose or interaction. so id like so ideas on how to do this.

If it doesnt work then back to the old fashion methadone taper and another 6 months of hanging out in the mornings. Id just like to get it all over and done with so i can move on in life.

I got a really good job the other week, they even knew i was on methadone and were cool with it, but i still managed to screw it up. im so sick of this happening.

I just want a couple of months without drugs to give my mind and body a chance.
 
With what your attempting to do, I would say the "switch" would be easier to Oxy., than any other you mentioned. I see no reason that you would nreed to stay on it for 10 days, though. I believe 5-6 would be fine, IMO.

Some may think a direct Metadone ---> Suboxone may be the way to go, but I agree with you, I would prefer going on a short term opiate first. Just not any that you mentioned, except for the Oxy.

Best to you in your attempt to clean up !
 
I've seen quite a few methadone patients switch to a short acting opiate prior to inducting on sub. These are always in cases where the person is well over the 30mg methadone dose that is reccommended before switching to sub. The amount of time spent on the oxy is almost always two weeks, it enables more of the methadone to get out of your system, fat cells etc.
 
cool!

sounds good then.

so 5 days- 2 weeks is the range huh? thats a lot of oxy but it could be done. better than hanging out slowly over 6 months!

My idea with all the other shit is just to see what brings relief. one time i finished my last subs and had 4 diphenoxylate tablets left, 2.5 mg. and they totally made me feel fine.

any other opiate ideas? DHC?
