Suboxone Dilemma - MERGED

jake!! In a day or two the build up of bupe will cover your withdrawals , I can almost promise you that.
Think about how horrible you'd feel if you were 100% dope sick!


You have 30 subs... that's good! You will be lucky if you taper in a month =)
How do you feel today?

Along side all this, try some other things such as going for a walk while you DO think about those things that plague your mind- eat good brain food such as vegetables or a yummy fruit or just even your favorite meal ... take some vitamins, drink water.
And listen to music... Anything that reminds you that there are things in life to enjoy.. ESPECIALLY the simple things... not a cure all to the depression of course... but I definitely think it is something to ease the PAWS [post accute withdrawal symptoms]

All I said above has been said so much and it's nothing new, but sometimes I personally forget that the small things matter. Or I think it's not even worth trying. So try!


OH and one more thing- I relate to you SO MUCH on the whole thinking about the total shit things I did while high... It can sicken me to my stomach sometimes.. but it does pass.... you are able to slowly .. I guess "wean" yourself off that crippling anxiety you know... the farther time brings you away from it.... that's exactly what you feel-- much farther away from those memories.

hope i helped at all.....
You are not alone, any of us who has went through this most likely can relate 100% to you so we understand.

feel better<3 try your hardest to do this =)

jake im on greenlighter status and cant pm you. i feel your pain having been where you are many times please try to stay strong and remember things will get better,the pysclogical rollercoaster is the worst part to overcome but, please my man, hang in there. things seem bad right now but if you have the strenth to get past this things get so much better (im now clean after a 13 yr iv smack habit) there are a few things you can do to make things slightly easier, and if your interested il put up details of the short term detox i used when kicking hang tough buddy ill be thinkin about you....................love,e
 
You know it's really easy to sign up for the Needy Meds program that is offered by the makers of Sub. Basically if you don't have prescription coverage and have low/no income you qualify and it only takes about a week to get the meds to the Dr's office. I agree with the other poster in your other thread about staying on sub for a few months or so. While it's your choice to make at least think about forming some kind of plan. Forinstance maybe stay on it for 90 days and re evaluate the need for it down the road. Using it on and off in between dope your not spending enough time on it to get stable on a sufficient dose. Taking the pressure off yourself to try and wean in a short time and having your cravings covered for awhile may be what you need right now until you can get some issues taken care of. It would probably help getting through school too.
 
^^^ doing this will allow you to begin using a proper dose of the sub you already have, which will get you out of being dopesick, which will allow a more rational line of thinking to take over.

You should be taking enough of the suboxone so that you don't feel like shit, but rather feel good. The dose you are taking is apparently not sufficient for your needs. Check out the "Needy Meds" program and get yourself feeling better. That is step number ONE!
 
What dose are you at jake? Did you make it to a meeting? Hang in there things will get better I would suggest stabilizing on the bupe for a couple weeks [at least] and than think about detoxing. Rushing to get clean can bite you in the ass, at least for me it did. Your not shooting dope and thats what really matters.

peace,

i dont really get it..if you are trying to quit dope, and feel ok, why are you tapering down instantly?

why not just go on sub and stop using heroin

i mean this is my opinion..but obviously youve been having trouble staying clean when you are taking suboxone, what makes you think you will be clean off of it?

if I was you, I would stay at like 4mg or 6mg, and focus on not using and heroin
 
man just hang in there, I know how you feel. Honestly, All the times I kicked dope cold turkey, I would have LOVED to have 30 suboxone pills.... Think of it that way, at LEAST you have suboxone! give it a couple more days, and it should stabilize you. I have lots of experience with suboxone and methadone, I know what im talking about
 
Hold out for a couple more days..everything will be dandy

Take 4mg a day for 2 months, this will allow you to build your life back up and get u distance and clean time away from dope, the cravings will slowly creep away with time.

60 days at 4 mg , that is 240 mg.......................which is 30 8 mg pills................which leaves nothing to taper with .............why dont i do 10 days at 4 mg =40 mg 5 days at 2 mg= 10 mg 10 days at 1 mg= 10 mg 10 days at .5 mg= 5 mg then .25 a bit then stop altogether that is like 80 mg , which is only 10 pills
 
^ I was stable on .5mg+/- [nasal] for 1.5 years. A little goes a long way once you get your body used to it.

peace,
