Tapering Would love to chat with like minded night owl

I wish you the best red kitty. ! I love house music ! Originally from Chicago the birthplace. :) I am trying to get off oxycodone with no luck.... not to sound clueless ...subutex is suboxone right ? I had bad luck with that in the past....but had a quacky doctor....most people say only do it for no more than a week or two........i am scared and just want to get off of us once and for all.........good luck to you.
 
Yup, for all practical purposes Subutex is the same as Suboxone (the only difference is that Suboxone also has naloxone in it, supposedly to prevent misuse, although it doesn't actually do much of anything for most people, except perhaps carry the potential for some side effects with it).
 
Hey Trevor thx for the reply. So many people have allergic reaction to naloxone I never did but subutex is what I use. I'm going down to 1mg tomorrow a little nervous but I've done a proper taper according to my hundreds of hours of research LOL

I hope you'll give subutex a try it really wasn't hard to kick (I went to Kauai for a week when I got on subs) I did it with the help of my man....after being sick for 30 plus hours I took 6mg sub and 2 hours later I was up and walking around and felt ok.

Today is 76 days and I am SO proud of myself and trying not to beat myself up too much for not doing it sooner:)
 
How you doing Trevor?

Tomorrow I go down to 1mg!!!!!
Any advice on how many days I should stay at 1mg?
 
Hey redkitty! I f,d up and found a stash of 3 10 mg oxys....took them t day....now no more.....and I am beating myself up.....i didn't even catch a buzz really...? !
I am going to try to get to see a sub doc on Monday. I just don't want to be on them too long. Congrats on getting down to 1 mg...i have no clue how long you should stay on that....mb a week than a half a 10mg for a week then done ? Not sure......stay well. Love and Hope to all.
 
Hey all I'm at 1mg of sub I drank a bottle of wine I'm so depressed full of anxiety sadness fuc* me this is harder than I thought
 
Hey Redjitty! Today was day one of my withdrawls....fun....pretty much just took lots of Imodium and laid in bed feel like total crap. Gooduck on your continued taper. I need to get of these oxy s once and for all. Hope to my fellow addicts

Try and go easy on yourself compañera! Nothing is worse than being hung over and having to manage a taper at the same time. Try and keep yourself hydrated, eat well and rest up so you can heal from the booze. Alcohol can be good in small amounts, but in quantity it can really do a number on us. Do you have access to cannabis (that may be less harmful/possibly even helpful for you to use right now than booze)?
 
Hey redkitty, I also find alcohol as a depressant .....so I have to be super careful. Hang in there you got this!
Have a better day. Love and Hope
 
Luckily I'm a grower so yes I have access to CBDs and high THC strains and edibles and yes they help BIG TIME!!!
 
TY both for the replies this week I'm going to stay away from booze and start exercising :)

Trevor hang in there every day that passes is one day closer to us feeling better!!
 
I am ready to scream. I feel like total crap! I really want an oxy right now. Ugh ! This sucks. :(
 
Hi RK.....i relapsed yesterday took 70 mg of Oxy s 10/325 in 24 hours. I am done...threw the rest down the garbage disposal! ......let The fun begin! LOL.

How are you doing? Better than me I hope!

XO
