Hey fellow Bluelighters,
I am currently addicted to ~0,5mg Buprenorphine/day which I insufflate. I know this seems very low and benign but I am not able to taper further down and the last WD was one week+ of puking, not being able to eat and surprisingly hellish for this low dose.
Since I have the access I thought about switching to Tilidine (short acting, lower potent opioid with Naloxone in ER form) because I kicked that back then without much problems.
I know that switching to a full agonist is generally not smart if one wants to taper and kick the opis. But after the last Bupe-WD I don't want to experience this kind of WD again.
My plan would be taking an equivalent dose of Tilidine (~300mg) in the morning and add another smaller dose (~100-200mg) when the first wears off.
I have enough Tilidine to taper down and I can use the ER-mechanism to my advantage when it comes to the last doses.
And I can cover most of the Tilidine-WD with Gabapentin which did not help much with Bupe...
I am aware of the negatives but due to my inability to taper the Bupe further and "positive" experience with Tilidine WD, I think it would be better to take and withdraw from a low potent Opioid (potency ~0,2 instead of 30-40 with Bupe).
What do you think? Thanks in advance!

Tilidine! You must be in Germany! (or close by in Europe) I got off opiates taking high doses of Lyrica (Pregabalin), 5 different kinds of benzos and immodium. It's best to just stop the opiates. The fear is the worst. You brain is telling you the withdrawal will be so bad but you can do it.
