Suboxone withdrawal

Jawsh over a year ago

Did you take 2mg of subs and 10mg of methadone each day at the same time? How much suboxone and how long were you taking them? I've been on 10mg/day for about a year but I've got 2 8mg subs left that I could break up and a friend have me 15 10mg methadone. I just wanna know if u did them both at the same time those 5 days cause if it works like magic I'm definitely down to give it a shot. I've never taken methadone but I don't use any of it to get high. I'm just worried if I don't stop the subs all together and start the wd's before I start the methadones I'll have horrible wd's. Thoughts??

Sorry i havent seen anyone reply to you Jawsh hun you cant take them both at same time as far as im aware? Thats gonna be messy you have to wait until the sub is leaving your body properly before you take methadone and it would be the same the other way round? x

I'm in the same spot but everytime I try to detox off of the sub by the first night my withdrawals are so bad they get unbearable.

Hi Theresa, I read your first post and I am looking to do the same thing. Over 10 years ago I was addicted to opiates ( percaxets, vicodin etc...) And now have been on suboxone mantinance since that time. In the beginning I was taking 24 mgs a day which now today I am down to about 8mgs a day. I have been researching all day on the internet the best way to completely detox from suboxone and I came across your post. My question to you is did it work by taking methadone for WD? And how many days did you have to take it... I really not worried about substituting one for the other cause my opiate days are so far behind me that I'm really not worried about taking the methidon to easy the WD symptoms. In the past when I was addicted to opiates my doctor would prescribe suboxone for 4 days and on day 5 I was fine, no WD symptoms, so I'm hoping that this will work in the opposite way. Any info on this would be much appreciated and god bless you.

Is that the usual dose of methadone for sub detox ? 2 mg/ day? In a clinic ? I'm in the same boat you once were and I'm actually in process if getting on methadonebfor sub .tell me exactly what happened .how much. Mg? How long (days)? Clinic? I'm just afraid if I decide to go the methadone route they will start me out on ahigh amount of methadone and trapped on a program for ever

Im sorry to say that is not TRUE. Dr always prescribe methadone to get off of herion and it works. I did that way.. Yes your body might not know the difference between what opiate but your body does know its something totally different. I took methadone for 10 days after a 7 years habbit for herion and only had minor withdrawals after day two of not taking meathdone anymore. Everyone body is different it does no harm to figure out what works for you. Good luck to everyone on hear trying to get help.. god bless

taking meth pills to detox or cut back on subs can work if you take just enough to not get sick interspersed with klonepin or zanax if your anxiety is high. it all depends on how bad you want to get monkey off your back. i kicked subs doing dope for a couple of weeks, ended up in detox . i left clean but wasnt willing to stop all because of back pain. unbearable back pain. i am 65 and have been invoved in dope game for many years, mostly heroin. if you can get help with depression from a decent doctor that sure helps to get your thinking back in order.

This is such an old tread lol but i have the same question . I took a 2.5mg methadobe on day 5(late in day 5)felt better Bc of it. Took another one day 6 (2.5) felt OK also took it late in day 6.Basically to sleep cause I wasn't at all. Nothing day . It definitely helped me. Day 7 I have pain still big nothing I can't handle. I think I'll be alright ! Also I literally never did methadone before. Don't know if that matters.

I call BS on this as have been fighting opiet addiction for 20 years. On 3 occasions used subs in decreasing amounts for 5 days to get through oxy / dope withdrawal and not only got through but had been able to work through detox. That said am a software engineer so interaction with others is very minimal. Coming from actual experience Saboxone and methadone can be used but only when needed, using as minimal as possible not extending passed 4 or 5 days. I have also detoxed from Saboxone taking methadone but again taking the bare minimum possible and no longer than 5 days. Yes you will hate life after for a few weeks but will be able to function. Job and responsibilities will differ on experience. Like I said am a software developer so am able to sit at my computer with limited interaction so would be harder if was constantly interacting with people all day long. Otherwise yes Saboxone and methadone can be used for detox with success but only using small doses for a short time.

Day 21 no Suboxone here...I have also used 10 mg methadone broken into 5 mg, then about 2.5 quarters to go through last 21 days. Going to make the jump now before any dependence on methadone starts. Got a little Kratom, a little Ambien, a couple benzos, lots of fruit juices (getting the Green juice now), some ibuprofen and a handful of loperamide... And I believe that I've got a God in heaven who wants more for me than slavery to Suboxone. I'm ready. That Suboxone is nuts, it's pure poison.
