Suboxone the "Wonder Drug"...

think twice

JoshuaV you put it down, you are sooo right, you have to be mentally ready to start to accept that you need help...let's call it what it is, addiction old habits are hard to break...the longer you play the game, the longer it takes to put the dice down? Here is an example. I was ready to get off the herion so I joined the clinic and they pumped me up with the methadone in a months time I was up to 200 mg my craving for herion was gone but I was addicted to the needle deal by that time at 200 mg of methadone, I was not gonna get anywhere buying a bag of dope,after all I wouldn't feel it at the level of meth that was flowing thru my system. So being I was addicted to the needle, I decided I was gonna bang some cocaine,not a good idea...I battled that for 3 months until I realized I was indeed dying...so I hope people that are on bluelight to read warnings and maybe think twice when they read about others peoples nightmares, I hope they think twice,it is not a game you wanna play.....:)
 
i too have just started trying to self detox and its so hellish for me. i had about a 5-6 bag (when conserving) to a 12-15 bag (when money was good) a day habit. i sniffed all my dope. before that i was all into oxys then end of april discovered dope and that was pretty much it for me til now. here and there id get some oxys when i couldnt get d. yeah i know my habit isnt that long and its not that bad but the w/ds have just been killing me. when i ran outta dope tues, weds i went and got a blue with i did around 430 which did almost nothing obviously but keep me from taking my subs so i was up all night restless with some chills and sweats but afraid to take my sub til about 8am. yesterday i took about 2mgs suboxone (didnt feel great but i was afraid to do more because i really want to avoid w'ds from it and i only have about 16 mgs left) and at night i took .5 kpin. i'm picking up some xannies later to help with anxiety and to help me sleep at night. i brought my girl to detox monday and she was the one i had here for me and helped me. now my head races about all the runs we did and going down and getting it and just the whole process. its killing me. i just want my life back. now i have no one. so i was wondering what doses should i be taking to avoid being sick at all costs while weaning off the shit? i'm just scared and i have to be okay and get thru this with the least pain possible.
 
It's a wonder drug, unless you treat it like a "not so wonder drug".

You CANNOT taper too fast and expect to feel no discomfort. It's a "wonder drug" because it makes a drug that does NOT give you a high to look forward to, for most stronger opiate users. If you try to taper too fast you'll feel discomfort, because the drug was giving you the 'comfort' minus the 'high'. That's why it's a wonder drug. Few suboxone doctors will titrate you to nearly nill after six-months without financial reasons.

@Misunderstood: SWIM means, 'Someone Who Isn't Me', or also known as, 'Me'.
 
i started subs about 9 days ago. im on 16mg a day 8 inthe morning and eight at night. i think i might lower it soon cuz i m pretty sure i would be fun on just eight or six a day. but it really does help. takes away all the baggage of the years of drug use gave me.

Just ran into this thread. While I don't know what was happening before the sub., but 16mg is a pretty high dose. Might want to drop fast before adjusting to the 16mg.

Until I got pinched on a UDA, I was scripted 340mg/day Oxy. Of course this ran out in around 3 weeks. With this dose I am only taking 4mg day of sub. And am dropping that tomorrow. Just MHO.
