Need Advice On Either To Tapper With What I Got Or Go Ahead & Jump From Where Im At With Suboxone? (Page 3)

hi! i am needing some advice on a couple of things. i was o an extreme amount of pain pills for about 8-9 yrs then back in 09 i went thru the withdrawal from them & got clean for 9 months, i then came across suboxone not by Rx & started taking them at 1-1/2 a day the 8mg strips. i got on this ot for recreation but i have a really bad back & other problems that causes me alot of pain & thats what got my pain pill addiction started! the drs put me on them & left me on them for a yr! anyway ibe been taking the subs now for 5 yrs, i have went without before for 8-12 days so i know what the withdrawls are like from this to that point & it really scares me for the fact they last so long! when i detoxed myself from the pills it was over in 2 weeks! anyway right now i am down to 2 1/2 subs & i have o way of getting anymore at all! ive wanted off of them for a long time due to they make me foggy headed, cant concentrate, & cant think clearly but they do give me the energy & motivation to live my life! plus they are financially draining me! anyway what i need to know is ive9) already taken 4mg today (1/2 of a strip) should i take a 1/2 for the next 2 days & then cut the last strip into 1/4ths & take a 1/4th each day after till they r gone or should i just jump from where im at now & save what i have for when the withdrawals get really bad? ive been taking 8mg a day & today took 4mg. im just trying to find a way to maybe try to make the withdrawal not as bad or last any longer then it will with what i have left! the withdrawals scare me cause they last so long & i always start feeling them by the 2nd day. the chilling, dizziness, cold sweats, pain, nightmares, & stomach problems is usually whats the worst for me! and another thing my family that lives with me doesnt know ive been taking anythng & i can not let them find out so ive got to try to do this & hide it from them the best i can which is really hard when all u want to do is lay in bed! and for some reason for me the first 3-4 days up to a week all i want to do is hyper sleep then insomnia kicks in! the hyper sleeping makes me feel bad but i cant do anything else! i just want to get clean & stay clean for good! im tired of depending on something to make me feel better even though i live in daily pain! i dont have a dr i can go to & ask for any benzos or sleeping pills to help me as they dont know ive been taking anything so im pretty much in this alone! usually about the 7th-8th day my back & legs hurt so bad for 2-3 days all the way to the bone that i cry & all! so im really dreading this but know it has to be done for me to be able to live my life the way i want to without having to hide things from my family! so any help with this will be greatly appreciated!

Suboxone won't come up on a seven panel. They have to do a special drug panel which most companies don't do. I am 100% sure of this. I been on suboxone for years with many UA. Now if it's a mouth SWAB ah put crest white strips in and try not to let the applicator touch the gums breath on use the humidity in your/his breath. I had it work and I had it not work. It's cheap. Just short of police or military wtf job? Astronaut?

well i am now 6 months off subs! so ppl can take my advice or not that is thier choice! i can tell u my experience but everyones is diff! and no i was not high when i posted here i was in w/d. im not going to sugar coat anything or argue with anyone about it! like i said im now 6 months completely clean off subs & have taken nothing else! the only problem i am still having is problem with sleeping! ive tried to post all of my experience with it here but no i didnt post all! u dont want to scare ppl so bad they they dont want to try to stop cause yes it CAN be done! believe me i do know what im talking about with this as i was on subs for 5 yrs & jumped from a high dose. before that i had been addicted to morphine for almost 10 yrs. so ppl can take my advice or not but everyones experience & length of w/d is diff for everyone! and yes i did find 15 at that time that i had stashed back & forgot about! i have no reason to lie! if i wouldve got them off the street i wouldve said so its not like ppl on here know who ppl are! like i said i will not argue or respond anymore to any negativity! this was me putting in my experience to help ppl! and if i do have p.a.w.s the only symptom is insomnia!
