More questions about using suboxone to kick opiate addiction
A few words, first and foremost. I am a recent user of these forums and I gotta say you all do a wonderful job. There is a lotta love out there and these discussions have done a lot of good for a lot of people (im proof of that).
Secondly, I am pretty new to posting. I read the rules and ran some searches so forgive me if I am posting incorrectly...
My question is personal but perhaps it can help others as well. I have been hooked and clean from opiates several times now. I have experimented with Vics, Oxy, Morphine and Heroin (never used anything IV though). I have come to the decision (hopefully this time for good) that I want to rid myself of this terrible terrible addiction.
My current state is such: I've just blown through a half a gram of H over the past 4 days. I dont have much trouble switching between opiates so yesterday I kept from withdrawal by taking about 15, 7.5/750 Hydros, and my plan is to slowly taper myself down to 0.
I got a bit of good news though that a friend of mine (who is going through a similar problem) will be able to get a bunch of Suboxone.
I CANNOT BARE to go through withdrawal again, and i am not 100% confident in my ability to taper. My questions is how much suboxone should I need, and how long will i have to take it to get totally clean.
I was told that about 7 pills (dont know the mg) should be ok. Start with 1 during the first day, taking a half more if really needed. Then a half to start the second day and so on taking less and less as needed, but never taking more than the day before.
Is there anyone out there with experience using suboxone, and can I get clean w/o withdrawing in about a week?
I know subox is an opiate but will using it really be easier than tapering on my own? Any advice/personal experience would be greatly appreciated!
