So I've been forced into a situation where I must get clean. And I'm determined to make it work, and I've been there before so it's not entirely foreign territory. Any advice is appreciated tho.

I am currently taking/down to 20mg opana nasally every twelve hrs. I have legally in my possession a few things to use as well and I'm curious what order to go about it. I have (20) 40mg Opana ER, (35) 10mg Methadone, (35) 2mg Kpin, (6) 2mg Xanax, (10) 10mg Ambien, (20) 25mg Promathazine, (40) 10mg Marinol.

Should I taper as low as possible on Opana then switch to Methadone or should I do Methadone first then as little opana as possible because I would like the shortest withdrawal possible.

Thank You,
Sean
 
Thats what I thought too, but than a friend who is more experienced than me (or I at least though so) said I should do the Opana. Thing is, I think you're right.

What would be the equivalent dose of methadone to 20mg if Opana in your opinion bl?

And yes, I plan on checking conversion charts as well, but your opinions can't hurt.
 
you dont need to finish the opana........do a quick taper with them...

then do a methadone taper........
 
I would just swith to the MDONES and stay on for maybe a few days and quit, use the benzodiazapines to sleep.

Save the opana, maybe do a little if you really feel like shit.
 
I'm confused, a few days? How do I do that? Can someone please explain or suggest some sort of taper?

edit: It seems the equivalent dose of done is 15mgs. I'm on a twelve, twelve schedule right now and I'm wondering if its best to make it so I only dose once a day.

I haven't used 'done before so my body has really no tolerance to it. I guess I should push it to sixteen hours then dose the equivalent done and keep waiting longer everyday until I dose once a day. Then taper down from there? Or should I just do the taper from twelve/twelve because I'm already there.

All advice is appreciated.
