Question: I quit narcotic painkillers back in nov. i have been taking suboxone that i get from a friend.?

(Posted by: on 2010-02-15 17:19:35)

I tried to get a Doctor to prescribe me them, but he said i have to attend weekly meetings. Long story short the support meetings that I have to attend are over an hour away, and with work I cant attend those classes. I want to get off them completely and i can get enough to taper myself. I just need advice how to do it? How much to taper each day or week. Any advice would be great.. thank you for the help in advance.



methadone pills and syringes Methadone is a synthetic opioid used medically as a painkiller, but also to treat patients on opioids such as heroin.

Peter Griffin...cool. I'm a fan :-) lol on the forced meetings. sucks huh? Consider it a Godsend, because you really don;t want to get on Suboxone under a quack doctors care anyways, or you'll really wind up screwed. So, I really need more info, like what you were doing and how much...and how much sub you have been taking for how long, but here's a general statement. Ist, sub is VERY powerful, even though it doesn't get an addict all whacked out. 1 mg of the stuff is equal to 50 mg's of morphine. Sub is along acting opioid, and a different beast...an evil beast. With that said, you should not need more that 2-4 mg starting dose. Gradually wean yourself off over the course of 1-2 week. You can get accurate doses by powdering half an 8 mg tablet, and dividing it into piles...like cutting lines. Keep your dose constant, and don;t take extra. It will still be an unpleasant thing. There is no easy way out of an opiate addiction, but a quick sub taper and detox is easier. For more, come see subsux.com ps. i just noticed you have been on sub since November maybe? That's too long...you better get moving or things will be worse in the lon run.

Try to get yourself down to literally a crumb or you will have terrible withdrawal symptoms. I just came off suboxone after being on it for 3 months & I jumped off at 6mg and it was the worst 10 days of my life! Either way you will feel the withdrawals a little bit.
