The way the Dr described it to me,(I don't trust Dr's), but anyway he did show me research and was in on the know, a sub specialist if you will.. Heroin and methadone go in and block all your receptors so when you stop your brain has forgotten how to make those chemicals because it hasn't had to. Well subs come in and just block half your receptors so your brain continues to make the chemicals.. I know subs don't give you the euphoria that other opiates do so I kinda figured everyone makes a big deal about the kick because they don't want to get on subs and not be on their opiate haze all day.. Don't get me wrong, I've been on subs for four years and I'm terrified too but I do have some hope, my Dr is a stand up guy and I mostly trust him. I just think people don't want to stop what they are doing so they make it sound like it's the worst kick ever so it gives them an excuse to keep doing what they are doing. Had a lot of gnarly kicks I know the fear ALL TOO WELL. But I'm just a girl with and little opinion. What i do know my life has been 10 fold better since I stopped heroin and methadone, I'm emotionally available for my kids and the people I love, I don't sleep all day(which sometimes I miss) and I respect myself a Hell of a lot more. I'll be sending you good thoughts and easy kick wishes, maybe then you tell me what to expect. Gem

Subutex is great for mental withdrawals as after you've been on it a few months your addicted brain rewires but the physical is unbelievable, far worse than any prescribed opiate medication. 

10 day tapers to get you off your doc can be worthwhile though.

 
2.5 years ago i was coming off a "d" habit, not the worst but bad enough imo. I went to a sub doctor. He only accepted cash. "Gee, sounds familiar" i told him i didn't want to be over-precribed or on more than a few months. He was fine with that.  I had an appt every month $300 i think plus med cost was like 200-250.  Time went by and he didnt keep up our ageeement about reduction or time frame so i began reducing it on my own.  I was down to i believe one strip in thirds a day. He had started me on 3.  I got jaundice real bad. My liver enzymes were 3800+.  I cut myself down to a 3rd a day, changed my diet, began silymarin and n.a.c.  Dropped the subs totally after a week.  Had rls, sweats, cronic fatigue. I assumed the fatigue was liver but who knows?  Anyway my liver improved over the course of 6 months. My primary and liver doc were astonished. I had come in contact with hep-b at some point but in the end had no antigen present, only antibodies.  Idk if the subs were part of it or not. Doesn't really matter anyway. Im extra diligent about any opiate intake. My l-4 and l-5 had been herniated so long you could see the vertabrae growing around the bulges in the discs.  I went to a chiro, learned the physical therapy and for the most part am out of the major pain without surgery. I count my blessings in many ways today. Probably sheds some light on some of my posts.

 
I have never had a huge opiate habit but once in while I get carried away.  You know how that goes.  Anyway I use Val and kratom to get back to normal.  The first day I will use 50 mg val.  This might sound like a lot but it is the only way to get to sleep and it has never bothered me.  2nd day 40mg and so on down to to 0.  The whole time I will be taking Kratom.  

The val helps with restless legs, anxiety etc.  The Kratom helps with nausea,  Diarrhea etc.  The two together work well for me..

If your serious about complete abstinence, then subs are the way to go. There easier to cut down when when getting to the last few ml's. I would recommend mdone because the last 10 ml is a bitch to deal with. Either use mdone then switch to subs when your at about 20ml of mdone.

  1. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  3. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  4. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  5. aBBazaBBa123 @ aBBazaBBa123: @rockychoc How do I contact you?
  6. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  7. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  8. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  9. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  10. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  12. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  15. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  16. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  17. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  18. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  19. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
  20. Alkazar @ Alkazar: It is INSANE how doctors treat tax paying hard working people like criminals when they ask for opioids. This world just keeps getting more and more backwards. But thanks to this site to be able to find people to help when no one in the medical world will.
