with only 3, it'll be challenge. because you'll need an 8 the first day. the 2nd day, TRY 4 MG. if you're good, then good. the 3rd day, try 3mg, and then go down 1 mg so you last a week. you see, when you go down to .5, it's gonna be rough. but nothing like full agonist w/d's. YOU CAN DO IT....you'll just have to deal w/anxiety and depression for about 2 weeks

I am doing 2 shots of h everyday for a month now, before that 70 mg of methadone for a year. I want to stop. I was sober for several years and miss life. I try to detox at home with nothing but only last 2 or 3 days and then all the responsibilities build up and I have to go to work, I'm also working on my masters degree right now. I'm thinking suboxone. If I just knew how long this would last. Does anyone know?

In my experience if you just take them up to a 5 days you will be fine... even a week or two as long as your going down mgs everyday.... i have done it before and it works you will be fine!!!

Even if you taper down with suboxone you will still withdrawl up to 5 months there are money hungry doctors out there who have NOT studied on opiate recovery it only s hould be used for short term detox and your still not feeling the good and bad its still blocking your natural state that you should be in... what happened to the recovery option to not be on any opiates???? is that not an option anymore

I know this is late but hell yah give him the benzos. If he's really quitting opiates it's worth it. As long as he doesn't take benzo's too long as to where he'll be addicted to those

I really need some advice. Was taking about 10 loracets a day for 3 years.. I was determined to quit.. So I bought some sub films from a friend.. This is my 3rd say taking them.. I don't want to get addicted to these too.. I feel ok but they give me a headache and I feel nervous and a lot of anxiety. Mostly because I'm really scared of this big step.. My question is.... Can I take these for a couple weeks without being addicted and having withdrawals from them?? I'm only taking 1/2 sub a day.. I plan on going lower and lower then just quitting completely. Someone plz help me.. I have a 5 year old and a full time job.. I can't afford to be sick and don't have anyone to watch my child... Thanks..

Good morning everyone! I am on day 4 of suboxone and so far so good... I had taken 2-3 30mg percs a day for the past 2-3 years and just couldn't take it anymore. I reached out for help and an IOP program tried to force me to go to rehab. I don't have the time or $ for that so I bought subs on the street. Took 2 8mg Monday, 1-1/2 Tuesday, 1 Wednesday, and half today. Quick tapers DO WORK! I wish all of you luck - this is my first time trying to quit the percs and was scared outta my mind but I'm feeling amazing so far!

I'am highly suggesting that you do not go on to suboxone i was a heroin addict for almost 10 years on methadone for a few and xanax by far xanax is the worst detox because you can have seizures and if you have had an aneurysm you can die I know about his cause of my father but back to the suboxone they make you feel horrible while you are on them your always tired irritable depressed and getting off them is worse because the PAWS take so long to go away I detoxed heroin cold turkey and it took only 10-12 days while the PAWS are much more intense then the ones of suboxone when its over it is over I took suboxone for about 2 yrs and now I am almost 4 weeks off them and still experiencing PAWS Iam tired all the time restless depressed angry and I'am on anti depressants not working be careful with suboxone it is far worse in my experience an the PAWS cans last a couple of months

I had an aneurysm In 97 it ruptured basiliar arterial anny. I survived and am one of the few who have. I waited two years for the 3d coils to be placed inside the
Aneurysm. It was a success I had the greatest intra vascular neuro surgeon the problem was the pain and the fact that every heart beat the sac was filling up and I was basically walking the green mile of life every second. It was a very painful and rare experience.
I was put on of course lortab and perocet for many years, I'm 41 year old male and have been through hell.
I got off the Valium the pain killers and then had another set back with an injury, I was like great here we go again. So I was put on lortab 10 and norco, I did fine and got off again cold turkey twice. It's not fun as we all understand. In 2004 I was getting tremendous and I mean the most horrid headaches imaginable because when I ruptured blood residue got between a membrane and is still there it's extremely rare and is some pain I wish on nobody. So then I was put on 30 milligram oxycodone. Started off with maybe one a day and by 2007 I was up to 12 30's a day.
I'm stubborn so I went cold turkey and ouch I was in the hospital... The pain and w/d after all the years of pain and then the factor of needing it was insanity.
I can't believe I'm still alive, lost both my parents and if course got back in lortab 10 for emotional and still pain I'm taking maybe 14 a day which is horrible I feel them but I'm sick of the grind. I have to go on the street to get my amount required to feel normal. I wont touch oxys I have used a couple but don't crave them. Recently I've just gotten to the point I'm sick of this s***. I use xanex to relax and to me it's the easiest to get off of, everyone is different. I've done the oxy hell I'm just sick of the chasing to get my amount. The time the money the bs,
I think I could go cold turkey but I'm getting older now and now when I get sick I throw up so hard the pressure us not good on my neck. Some people say that lortab ain't s*** but 14 a day with some xanex is just old. I'm goIng to a suboxone doctor because I have to work and I don't have the down time to just kick.
Is suboxone that bad as I've read and if it's worse then oxy withdrawal after 11 30's a day for 3 years there is no way. Im not as young and the thought of w/d right now is tiring plus with paws and depression.
I'm confused I no the half life and it's heavy shot but can it be used properly and detox if done properly.
I was thinking about getting on an antidepressant to fight the blues. Everyone is different, I hate the judgmental people, how disturbing, life is about support and love. Some people are so cold and hateful.
Ive been through the ringer and losing both parents has me thinking it's time to just live without having to pop pills. I know it's a trade off, one or the other. I'm just having second thoughts about subs. But I want to live and I know I'll probably slip back from pain, I think it's in the mind so much, just not knowing paying some a** 3 for one blue pill us killing my state if being.
I could get whatever I wanted pain but it seems alot if people the ones who extract stuff and abuse which is a disease to me not to judge. But it has screwed up my ability to get pain management without the doctors tripping. I'm ramblIng and probably all over place but is suboxone at small doses and then weaning really a good idea? Is the w/d worse then oxy? And can it be used if done in a correct fashion? I probably have one more cold turkey left in me. But 14 loris a day is still going to take awhile. I don't have the down time, any help would be appreciated. If you respond nicely great, if you want to put me down or say something silly then please don't respond. Thanks.

I just read your post and I wanted to give you my experience. I do agree with Suboxone changing your life and getting back on your feet however getting off the suboxone was harder than getting off of H. I am on day 6 of my withdraw from the suboxone and its driving me INSANE.. i was on it for 7 months and im glad i got my life back but honestly it makes me wanna take somthing else to get this withdraw goine. im a VERY strong person but suboxone is HORRIBLE coiming off of. I would take an H withdraw ANYDAY over this.

well if your only doing roxys which are perc 30s 2 a day isnt very hi to me anyways im pretty sure taking the suboxone the way your friends told you will get you through the worst of it but when your done u will have to fight the mental part of withdrawal which i think is the hardest keep your head up and get determined you can d it
