I'm not much for typing a lot so I'm going to keep this as short as I can, but I'm happy to provide more information if anyone needs. I've been using pills for the last 4.5 years. My tolerance has increased to 250-300mg daily of Oxycodone. About 30% of that is snorted, the rest is taken orally, all throughout the day. I don't dose at night. I've been at this level for about 8 months, the 4 months before that I went up from about 60mg to 250mg. For my first three years I managed to stay strictly under 30-40mg, it's only been within the last year that I've gotten way out of control with it.
Okay, so at this point I'm out of resources to get more pills... I HAVE to quit. I've taken Kratom before in times of not having very much Oxy but I've never, not even for one day, have not had at least 60mg to work with. I always keep a couple on hand for emergency, as will be the case tomorrow when I try to quit. Kratom seems to help but I don't think it's a complete solution for me to stay out of WD. I happen to also have 4 Subutex with me, and I can pretty much get as many of those as I want so I'm really wanting to try them but I'm scared to death of precipitated WD after all I've read. There was a time, earlier this year that I had one Suboxone, I went around 10 hours without anything and was feeling pretty bad so I tried snorting maybe 1mg of Suboxone and I remember feeling worse. Then I took another 2mg of it orally (but I didn't know you had to let it dissolve, I basically chewed and swallowed it immediately that day), still felt worse. So after that I learned that the Naloxone activates if you snort or just swallow it like I did so maybe that's why I felt worse? Needless to say I started taking 30's that day until I felt better...
So tomorrow, since I'm working with straight Bupe and no Naloxone I'm feeeling a little better about trying this but I'm still really scared. I've never felt full withdrawals before but I've been close and I don't want to be there. I've had friends tell me that if I wait 8 hours I'll be fine, I have another tell me that I can take Subutex immediately after an Oxy and be absolutely fine (don't know how true that is!). I guess at this point my plan is to wait until I'm like 12 points or so on the COWS scale and then try snorting like 0.5mg of a Subutex and seeing if I feel any better... or...I could do only Kratom and try that? Or I could do both Kratom and Subutex. I'd like some sound advice on this though from someone who has done all three of these and what they think would be a good course of action?
I'm also being told that it doesn't matter how high my tolerance was for Oxycodone, my Bupe requirement will still be very low, and was even told that I'll probably be getting pretty high from it, even nodding since I have never done it, even at low doses. I'm not looking to get high, I just want to be on Bupe long enough to get out of this nasty addiction that's ruining my life.
Thanks for any help!
