REPORT

I have been on very strong painkillers for just about 15 years now. I take oxycodone, a soma muscle relaxer and a fentanyl patch. Because I have been on the pain medications for so many years, I have finally come to accept that if I don't get off of them very soon, I only have about 10 years at best, left of my life. So over the last few months I have been weaning my milligrams down with my doctor per my decision and although I was once at 100mcg fentanyl patch and 30mg oxycodone 1 PO q4hrs prn, for many many years I am now only taking a 12mcg fentanyl patch and a 10mg oxycodone. I have read multiple multiple questions here and everybody is asking if they can take a Suboxone strip after so many hours of removing the fentanyl patch but what I want to know is if I can take an 8mg/2mg Suboxone strip while STILL wearing the 12mcg fentanyl patch. I have an extremely high tolerance and am very immune to most all medications and surgically used drugs. I have already combined the 2 and felt wonderful the entire time but I think even though I was still wearing the fentanyl patch when I took the suboxone strip, that maybe the patch was tapering off some bc it was in its 3rd day. However, it was the first Suboxone I have taken ever and I believe the ones I have and the one I took, was the strongest strength they make, 8mg/2mg. Even so, I did not experience any negative symptoms like most people reported here. It was actually very helpful and gave me relief. Even though it worked out fine for me the first time around ... for some reason, I am skeptical this time. So I want to know with the information I have given to you here so far, if I will be okay to take the 8mg/2mg Suboxone strip WHILE I am STILL wearing the 12mcg fentanyl patch??? The only thing I don't have right now is my oxycodone that I have been on for nearly 15 years so even though I am wearing the fentanyl patch, I am still experiencing full-blown withdrawals from not having the pill and I've just got to have some relief. Please help

I have "No" clue where my response went ? Maybe, lost in a cyber cloud somewhere in the universe's.

Does anyone have a good taper method with suboxone, my grandpa has about 10 4mg and 4 2mg films, need these to last or until he weans himself of suboxone for H withdrawal. He was using about 2gs a day..he would buy in bulk to save money but just made addiction worse. He took 4mg of sub at 4 am and it's almost 12 am. So 4mg works for him with a high but he really wants to quit everything without dying from WD. LOOKING FOR A GOOD TAPER REGIMEN without the high....thanks

To properly use Suboxone for addiction issues, it shouldn't be taken until you are in full withdrawal from the other substances you were taking.

Suboxone contains the active ingredients Buprenorphine and Naloxone, the Naloxone is used to prevent the abuse of other opiates, while someone is under treatment, however, it can throw you into withdrawals if taken too soon.
