Harm Reduction Tapering Plan Mega thread - community project

What can I do to force some damn food down my throat? The thought of eating is terrible but I haven't eaten in days and therefore can't take my vitamins and supplements.
 
You MUST force yourself to eat!! At LEAST drink!! (gatorade) It will help flush your system. You may feel like its never going to end, but that one day will come (everyone is different) and you will begin to feel better. W/D's are like a roller coaster ride. One day you will feel a little better and then the next day 10 times worse. Do NOT give up though. That day will come where every day will get better and better. I've been down this road may times. Good Luck! :)
 
Fuck. The ER doc just called with my lab results. I'm fucking pregnant. How the fuck am I going to "take care" of this while sick with withdrawals? Jesus christ this is horrible timing.
 
oh sweetie i am so so sorry u r going through all of this i know it horrible i definitley wouldnt start taking the subs again u sound like me i dont ever ever want to touch another sub althou'gh it did its job as far as blocking and taking away cravings i had really bad side effects though like no sleeep but anyways when u say "take care" do u mean u r going to keep the baby bc if u r u need to either get back on the subs or go to the methadone clinic bc everything u r experiencing the baby is to and withdrawels can and will cause spontaneous miscarriges. i am once again so sorry u r going thru all if this i know first hand how u feeel
 
A spontaneous miscarriage would be fantastic right now. No I'm def not keeping it for one because detoxing while pregnant is bad, and the benzos I'm taking are bad for baby too. I already have a 3 year old, am unemployed so no this is horrible timing for a pregnancy.
 
And to be honest after I took a hot bath and finally got food and vitamins in me I am feeling a ton better. I've been laughing and happier in general. I'm hoping I'm about done with this detox shit cause I've got stuff to do!
 
Me too! I just hope it lasts and gets better from here. Tomorrow will be one week since my last dose so hopefully its subsiding. We'll see how sleep goes tonight, I'm still leary of the trazadone tho so I don't know what to try for sleep. Melatonin and immodium got me the longest stretch last night (a whole whopping 2 hours, if that!)
 
Possible To Taper Of H?

I have a very small tolerence at the current moment in that 10mg-15mg of snorted or smoked H is enought to take away my w/ds and 25mg-35mg enough to have me floating and full on high with nods etc. If I am working I find that I require slightly more, maybe say 50mg-70mg.

I would jump right off but I work 8 out of 10 days for 8hrs and I have to deal with customers so I cannot be sitting there with a groan on my face joansing for my next bumb or puff.

The thing about doing it at home is I can take enough benzos, alcohol and smoke enough weed that it combines well with the H but I cannot function, while at work I can only have so much benzos or weed before I get fucked up and impaired so its ususally just H at work.

Also at home I can sit and snort it but at work I barely can catch 40 seconds on the clock to do anything which results in me looking around the workplace like a crack head for places the cameras (which I think are everywhere) won't see me so I end up snorting lines in fucked up places and in fucked up positions. Which I am scared to do anymore.

During that 40 seconds usually the best thing is to just go and put some H on foil and chase it really quick, the thing is you are at work hardly waiting to smoke and you get people ALL THE TIME non stop like clockwork coming in and so you cannot smoke properly and usually you end up waisting say 20mg by smoking it one hit instead of about 3-4 hits or more as I would normally do to get the most out of...and smoking is addictive as fuck.

What is a good taper schedule for someone with this problem?
 
I'm going to merge this thread into the Community Projects - Tapering Plans. The first post explains how to taper off of heroin relatively comfortably.

Heroin – reducing 20% intake per day over a week.


You can find this thread in the OD Directory. :)
 
Well I ended up miscarrying today. They gave me a shot of morphine in the Emergency Room for pain, not sure how that will effect my detox but I feel pretty good for right now. (In case anyone was wondering how I was doing, though I doubt it!) Definitely been the worst week of my life.
 
well shit i had just wrote u and somehow managed to erase it, that sucks :( any ways i was wondering how u were doing that is why i love bl i have only been a member for a couple of months and this is pretty much the only place i get support, advice, and peoples opinions with out being judged. my husband is not an addict and is not helpfull or supportive when it comes to dealing with my problems that come along with being an addict. i have a thread i started when i was still on my subs and it chronocles (xscuse the spelling) me tapering down, coming off of them completley going thru hell , and going to the methadone clinic its ongoing kind of like a diary u should go check it out i can totally relate to what u r going thru. any ways what i am getting at is there are some really awesome people on here that do care and wonder how people r doing!! i figured u would prob miscarege with the horrible with drawels u have been going thru. good luck to you and keep us posted.
 
Keep it going girl, life can only get better. I quit after 10 years of daily H use, it's not easy, but if you decided already and serious in getting clean, you will be able to do it and you will be able to enjoy life again! Best of luck, and Bupes are a great help in staying clean, and next week will not be "the worst week of your life" anymore, isn't that something positive to look at?
Take care
 
So my doc gave me some lortabs for the pain from my miscarriage. They are just 5mg's and I got 20 of them. Do you think I can use them to get through the rest of my suboxone withdrawals or am I just setting myself back? I'm on day 9 and I felt shitty again today before taking the lortabs (I took 2) I plan on taking 1 to 2 a day for the next 10 days or so. I've read a lot about people using weak pain pills/opiates to detox from suboxone, does it really work? Or will I be back at square one once I run out? I would think that most of the suboxone should be gone from my system by then and I wouldn't have been on the lortabs long enough to get dependent, right? Maybe take a lortab every other day? What should I do? My boyfriend is completely unsupportive and pissed that I even got pain pills even tho I just had a painful miscarriage. It's frustrating that he has no sympathy or idea what I'm going through.

I think this will work because I once used codiene cough syrup to detox off pain pills. It seems like using weaker opiates for a short time gets you through the withdrawals and then you're good to go. I'm not crazy for thinking this, right?
 
no u r not crazy at all u have definitley now have a leg up with the tabs. they will not set u back at all they will definitley help u take two a day for a few days and then go down to one a day untill they r gone. these will def help u with your detox they will get u thru the rest of the painfull withdrawels

Click to expand...

I'm sorry to hear of your pregnancy and miscarriage. If your asking if you will be back to the point of the same wd's from dropping at 4mg subs... I don't think so. However, by taking the lortabs after 9 days of no subs... You have delayed your recovery. If I were you, I'd first take only one a day for a few days and then get a pill cutter and cut them in half and only take a half when you absolutely need it.... otherwise flush them and continue back with your original plan.

Good luck & God bless!
