Subs are rediculously hard to get off of. they arent hard to manipulate for IV either. they seem to work for some people tho i suppose.

IMO dr's need to take better care of people when they are trying to taper/kick the bupe. if the person is serious, and stable enough... u can use a weak full agonist to ease the wd pain. only if needed, and for as short as possible. it helped me out a lot doing that.

subs are tough tog et off of if you jump even from a low dose, the trick to bupe is to wean so slowly you dont notice it or barley notice it, like 1mg then .75 then .50 then .25 then .10 and lower if you have to, otherwise, bupe wd will be tough and sucky. and by the way i was on subs for 2 years, the strips and i did IV them, it worked very well for me, and i was able to kick when i needed to with little help. i agree about drs though, best of luck to anyone trying to fight this demon.

the only negative about sub strip IV is since the strips contain some type of sugary/sticky substance, if you dont water down REALLY well or dont rotate IV spots your veins goto shit VERY quick, who knows what my hear valves look like though, its def not safe to iv and i wouldnt condone it,but i did do it everyday for about a year and im stil alive...i guess lol

we all seem to agree buprenorphine/suboxone over methadone.
just dont let the dr force you to take more than you need. most people shouldnt need more than 8-16 mg tops. and lots of people get put on 24-32 mg which is crazy imo. and dont take it for a long time if u dont want to. you dont have to take it for a year or more just becuase your dr says so. it all depends on your life, and your mentality towards wanting to quit.
sometimes an extended stretch of opiate maintence can help u straighten out your life, so that when your ready you dont have to deal with an entire lifetimes worth of crazyness while trying to go c/t. but if u can just quit c/t, do it.
im really against the OP going to CO and getting more dope. its his choice tho! sry for going on and on. i just hoped i could help a bit.

Yes good point.....you may not need such a high dose and time frame is also something to consider but one can make that decision as your moving along through the journey.....I want to add.....I have never struggled with this addiction...but I have worked with people that are trying to beat the addiction.....I know and see what people go through......its brutal

I rather like the Duck's Suboxone advice in this instance ... less of a fight to get clean compared to methadone. What is your opinion on that? cn

My opinion on Suboxone is to avoid it. From my anecdotal experience Suboxone appears to be a far worse nightmare than Heroin or Methadone. But that is only my opinion. Frankly it would be easiest to ratchet people down by giving them smaller doses then dropping to a less potent opiate.

Honestly though nothing is going to work. Prohibition and control of substances never works it merely drives the problem underground creating a black market economy surrounding it. This actually increases use! In a sane system all substances would be legal to anyone who is an adult. Then we could finally focus on helping people who get addicted to these substances without them becoming cash cows for a prison based economy.

I want to say one more thing about why I recommended Methadone maintenance (and of course the longer half-life you go the tougher it is to eventually get clean). The OP is going to be a stranger. He is involved in a move and establishing in a new area. How in heck do you walk into a doctor and get them to give you Bup or anything that is going to carry you over. I suggested Methadone because that is well-established in the US Public Health system and he'd be likely to find it there and willing to work with him. Much less so any doctor. I'm trying to suggest something that can actually be done.

If we are talking the best way to kick I'm going general anesthesia.

I to was seriously injured 20 plus years ago...and you are right ...the Doctors were handing that shit out to me like candy.....They had put me on a pain management plan.....all that means is they give you painkillers of one form or another.......I finally just said fuck these guys....I did not like where it was taking me so I just stopped the meds right then....suffered like a mother and still do....my back is a total loss....my knees are shot....my shoulders are fucked....I just smoke weed these days to ease the stress from living in constant pain.....it blows but my choices are limited....I just live with it.

Before I shot the first time I used to fill a shot glass like 1/5th full of water and drop your hit in there, get it mixed well and use a straw to snort it. Keep your head up though it'll want to drip out. It'll also taste like BBQ asshole shit, but it's better than smoking that shit. (used tin foil and a hollowed out highlighter)

Tried smoking tar in a glass rose but that shit got DIRTY and it tastes about the same.

quote .don't be a dick is what I'm trying to get acroos.people are peopl,and not objects of ego. unquote. THAT is what you said...


If you would again, go back and read this thread from the first post, you would see that i wasnt talking to the OP i was actually talking to the person who put the OP down, now ill ask one more time, please go back to page 1 and read this whole thread until this post, i am an ex junkie, heroin, fentanyl, dilaudid, roxis, oc80s blah blah blah ive been addicted to it all, i currently still take suboxone for general maintence sometimes. and yes my life revolved around jerry to for a little while, i am GD family. I get hugs and welcome at ANY lot.



im not trying to be an asshole or anything but you called me close minded while i stuck up for the OP from some guy who called him a junkie, i think your singling out the wrong person here, so like i said, go and read this thread from the begining, after that im sure you will understand where youve made your mistake. good luck all
