Hey, i'm new. I had an oxy habit of 160 mg for 7 months. In month 2 i had tapered off in 2 weeks and over 48 hours realized i had done successfully so i got cocky and started doing again that day. As you would assume, i started lower 20mg and as my tolerance went up so did my usuage to 160mg. I don't snort, i just eat it and chew if its not neo. I realized i had a problem 2 months ago and 1 month ago and I went on suboxone for 3 weeks. I tapered the sub every 3 days 4, 2, 1, .5, .25 came off suboxone 4 days ago. I felt shitty and used 10mg neooxy then 16 hours after the last sub (3 days ago). Then 24 hours after that i felt shitty again and took another 10 mg neo oxy (as the sub will still in my system and blocking I did not get high it just stopped the symptoms but no real buzz. 24 hours later i took .25 suboxone. Presently, it's only been 15 hours and I'm starting my body is starting to cramp again as is the stupid damn goosebumps. I can deal with this for another 8 hours at least. I realize I'm totally a F----ing pussy but... my lower body cramps up so bad I can't sleep when I past the 24 hour mark. I'm a teacher, i've been going to work everyday, but I can't function if I don't sleep some. I have temezepam, it knocks me out for 3 hours and I wake up with pounding heart, sweats and my lower half and back hurt like hell etc. So here's the question.. what do you think will be better or with less withdrawl like issues....to taper off the neo oxy or the suboxone? My plan is that if withdrawl is rough and I can't sleep tonight (12 hours from now) then I'll take either .125 of suboxone or 5mg of oxy? What do you guys think? Once again, yes I'm a pussy and yes some form of withdrawl like symptoms are imminent, albeit subjective and ergo.... unavoidable. I'm looking for the experts to know what's better to taper in your opinion.... a short acting full agonist like oxycodone (neo) down to 2mg or a partial acting agonist (bupenorphine) to .006? I'mean open to whatever, no worries about offending me.
