So this is my first post to bl. I've used blue light for a long time for various reasons . Mostly different drug use techniques , etc.
So I had a prescribed OxyContin addiction for surgery that turned into a recreational oxycodone 30 mg addiction when the script ran out. In the past two years I've tried opana , roxys (favorite), methadone, vicoden Percocet , most opiates , even played with heroin for a while . In the last 2 years I've been on either about 30-60 mg of hydrocodone per day or 30-75 mg of roxicidone or oxycodone just about every day . If I don't have money for Roxies I resort to hydros but just so I can feel decent and get a small buzz. I've tried cold turkeys , warm turkey , and everytime I make another excuse for getting high again and pushing it back another week . I want to stop for real this time and get back to my first true love (Mary Jane ) as the addiction is starting to effect me. I mean I have a full time job and go to college full time and have an awesome gf who smokes weed but that's it . so I have strength and know I can do it But I need some help with these suboxone .
I jus got some bilingual 2mg suboxone strips that you put under your tongue . I want to know how long in between each dose ? I took 3 mg today at 1pm right when the wd's from oxy's were gettin bad. I don't want to take one as soon as I wake up I want to wait until the wd's barely come back and then just take as much as I need to feel better as I do not want to get dependent on subs . Is this a good approach ? I still would like to know how long I should wait in between each dose and how I could taper down to make it more comfy . I know there will be pain but I can handle that it's the urge to get high again that gets me every time . I usually call my dude all day until I find something but after the 3ng if sub I worked all day and never had the urge to cop. Had a great day actually . Any tips are appreciated I do not want to get hooked worse on suboxone then I was on oxy so anyone with experience or knowledge or a better way to withdraw easier let me know ! Thanks !
 
Also last Opiate use before suboxone was 30mg of roxicidone And 10 mg of hydrocodone on Friday evening . First suboxone was Sunday at 1pm
 
Yeah you are doing the right thing dude, If i was you I wouldn't take that suboxone for more than a week. Especially since your habit really wasn't that bad and the withdraws shouldn't last too long. I would take 2 mg tommorow, 24 hours after your first dose. Then go down .5 mg everyday and just drop it after you take the last .5. You might experience some very minor withdraws but you should be glad that you are nipping this in the bud now.
 
ditto. 7-10 days tops. whatever u do just dont go up in dose. u may find a day where u need to stay at same dose as day prior. thats fine. your habit is nothing major if 40mg of *codone kept u straight for 40 hours when the half-life is 4 hrs. & basically 3-7 norcos or percs/day on avg as your habit is less than the max "healthy" dose for someone medicating for say post-op surgery. youre golden.
 
Awesome thank you that makes me a lot more confident . My max dose was probably 90 mg of Roxy but that was on pay days , random money splurges , normal was 60 mg. and I edited 2 days to take the sub to make sure I was in full wd like everyone says too
 
I've tried cold turkey and I know you say it should be easy w my dose of 2 30mg + a today but quitting cold turkey was hell so am I just postponing the hell by replacing oxy with bupe
 
I would just get the suboxone script and taper yourself off in a week like Subshooter said. Then you'll have suboxone lying around for emergencies and you can even take it once a week and get a nice buzz going
