Opioids Using Suboxone to withdraw from Oxycontin

[hydrochron]

^ and how does that help anyone? Most people know how strong suboxone is. To anyone thinking of going on suboxone my advice would be go to a suboxone Dr...And talk to them, there pretty stupid though so maybe that's not the best advice, lol

hydrochron, i was adding a small tad of information onto pill popping animals post, which cant hurt.

id say, 60% of suboxone doctors are in it for the money/take advantage of addicts ("mwhaha i can keep them coming back every week, 300$ a session!! mwhaha")

and 30% want to help

10% did it for the hell of it

The Sub is doing the job of keeping you from w/ding from the Oxy, but like the others siad, it way overkill. With a short period of use that you had (4 months) on a fairly low dose of Oxy, you would have been better off just doing a slow taper or sucking it up and going cold turkey off the Oxy's. Now you are going to have to w/d from the Subs, which honestly, is usually much longer a process than your original DOC, and for MANY people, much harder. Ive tried w/ding from Sub before and it was absolutely AWFUL.

This is true. Here is more information about suboxone withdrawal which you should know about before considering it to detox.

well ime with suboxone and quite a nasty iv dope habit i was successfully able to do a rapid detox on suboxone to get rid of the physical aspects of withdrawals quite a few times.. though my habit was much larger than yours i would say that dosing on suboxon for a MAXIMUM of maybe 7 days lowering your dosage as you go a long, you should have no withdrawal symptoms at the end of your suboxone use
my taper was something along the lines of 8 mg sub the first day, 8 mgs the second day, 6 mgs, 4 mgs, 2 mgs, 2 mgs, 1 mg, off
though i didn't feel 100% right the few days after stopping the suboxone, within 3-4 days i was at absolutely 0 physical symptoms of withdrawal, and ime that's when the real battle starts
the physical aspect of addiction isn't shit, once you get past that, that's when the real battle truly starts

I agree with the above poster. Only take for ab A week and taper down. Subs are strong and taking a little goes a long way!

Hi!

I would advice you to maby use .5mg doses of your sub's first, Maby take another .5mg or LESS if you feel like shit.
And one thing you have to remember that subuxones half-life is incredibly LONG, so you probably dont want to take your dose every day.
for exam:
1st day: Take .5mg of bupe in the morning, and take .3mg - .5mg more if you feel like complete shit.
2nd day: Try to avoid to take your dose in the morning and struggle through the day and test how you feel, if your not able to sleep or shit like that, take as low dose as possible to make you feel like a human again
3rd day: If you got sleep last night without any second dose, take .5mg's again or LESS.

and continue this until you feel like you can jump to da tram's son, dont go hard on yourself and remember that this process might take a little while and you have to accept that you prolly gon feel like shyte sometimes.. Unless you just wanna lower your tolerance.. It is different thing than wanting to be sober of opiates.

Good luck, bud!

PS. This is my third day without subuxone and havent been taking opiates to help my functioning, except Imodium Feelin like shit at the moment =(

Yours sincerely, MOE.
