I have lost my job so continuing my daily opiate habbit is unrealistic. I amnot an extremely heavy user examples of daily use would be 50mg oxycodone, 500mg tramadol 500mg nucynta IV, 2 bags of H IV. I take something like that every day for the past 8 months, prior to that i was in prison but ive had a habbit for around 7 years. All I have is 1 8 mg suboxone strip and a couple boxes of lope and about 20 600 mg gabapentin. My plan is to cut the strip into 4 1 mg pieces and 8 half mg pieces. Ill take the 4 1mg pieces for 4 days then then 8 half mg pieces for 8 days then stop, during that time I will use the gabapentin sparingly to help with symptoms and save the lope for when I am completely out to help with the runs and maybe take the edge off a little. How does this plan sound to you. Its all I have to work with. I know small amounts of suboxone work well for me becauee in the past ive gotten through 5 day stretches by taking 1mg of sub and today I tried taking half a mg this morning and I dont feel to bad at all (the half mg was a bit of a tiny 1mg piece of sub ive been saving, im gonna eat the other half to start today with my 1 mg wean). My only concern is that I have a couple friends that get morphine and vicodin and will gift me with it because they want my shaft and feel sorry for me, doing morphine or vicodin may screw up my regimen, but assuming that doesnt happen how does my plan sound? How sick do you think I will get once I stop the sub, I know that is a much faster suboxone wean than generally suggested and .50mg is a little high of a dose to jump from. But thats all I have to work with and I am not going to try to cut a .25 piece from an 8mg strip, unless someone tells me I should, then I might try. Any suggestions?
 
you can detox at hospitals or go to detox outpatient clinics...
they'll give you tramadol or bupe to get you through the withdrawals.

I live in the middle of no where so places like that are all ridiculous drives, Id make the drive though (probably 40 or 50 miles) to the nearest decent facility but Im on paper so I cant admit to using, which is another reason I cant keep using daily anyways. I just need to make the best out of what I have. I also have 7 50mg trams that probably going to grind up and add to some lemonade later today since I hear tramadol and suboxone synergize. I know the trams could come in handy later in the process but I have no self control and wont be able to save them.
 
I just registered today with blue light. I'm having trouble posting. My post posted, but I can't figure the right place to post it. I'm doing a short suboxone taper as well. Can someone help direct me in where i need to post so I can get some help, advice, and support? I need it
