Does anyone think its possible to come off of bupe with another opiate ( full-antagonist) like morphine,heroin,oxycodone?
I'm really sick of being hooked on the Subs. I got on them because I thought they were the "Magic Bullet" for Opiate addiction but to be quite honest I am having a TERRIBLE time trying to quit it!!
I mean when I first got on them I could skip days (3 or 4) at a time but now ( aprox a year later) I cant get through one day without some form of "Heebie-Jeebies" and the worst part for me is the mental part. Its almost like they are harder to stop than dope is but with them,( bupe) you don't get to experience any of the "glory" that comes with full antogonist....... but, boy are they addictive!
I haven't come off them fully yet but its been over 48 hrs and I was feeling so damn grouchy,depressed,constipated,yawning alot,watery eyes, strong smells irritate the hell out of me and I'm on some sort of emotional roller-coaster.
Well,that was until I plugged 120 mgs worth of morphine ( sustained release) then went to go lie down.I crushed them up real good,mixed them into some real butter then formed two large suppositories and put them in the freezer till they were hard enough to pluggem'. At first, I noticed how my legs started to ache ( they weren't, before I plugged the morph) and then ,slowly,over about two hours,they felt GOOD and I had a slight, but still pleasant, feelin in the gut ( a good sign no?) and mentally I became more focused.Now,my eyes are pretty pinned and I feel mellow....not really high...just mellow ( I was tempted to quote jimi hendrix there! you know....."not really high... just beautiful")
I've taken morph a few times after going 48 hrs or more without bupe in the past and sometimes ( If I wait long enough) I even get a little glow or buzz. I know the subs take friggin' FOREVER ( seems like it anyways doesnt it?) to get out of the receptors and thats why in the past I would wait four days to try and get high on heroin but I would end up blowin my $$ because I wouldnt get high.
That is until someone told me I could get high but it would just take a whole lot to get really blasted. Thats why I plugged so much morph you know? It seems to have worked but maybe some of it is placebo effect too,I dont know.
So, I want to know if anyone has ever gotten off of bupe with another opiate or if someone knows someone who has and i think it would be useful to hear everyones experiences on this before I attempt to do so....I REALLY NEED YOU GUYS'S OPINION PLEASE because I really want to try and see how life is without having to depend on opi's anymore ( my only real clean-time was jail-time in the last 15 yrs and even that only adds up to 18 months) because I remeber how good it felt before I got on them after a car accident and then the whole nightmare started ( I bet alot of fellow Opi's can relate to dat one !) but after many years of dope n pharmys, then finally, the bupeness, I am sick of it.....more then ever!! I think the bupe messed me up in the guts ( constipation anyone?) and in the head then any other full-antagonist did!! I want out!!! They helped me get my life in order more than any other drug did but my insurance ran out. I used up my eligibility for this states insurance and I can't get it anymore ( they call us types the "High Utilizers!! " and over the last 8 yrs they musta paid out tons o' cash on pills,rehabs,mental wards,incarceration, etc.,etc.,for me) because I used it up so now I buy it from fellow freinds who are still in the "Program" but now they are getting more strict with the bupe and they are randomly calling in patients for counts ( urine levels and pill counts) so now they are soaring in prices.....the more they clamp down the higher they'll go, too !
anyways, I found that the morph actually helped me again today....I'm not high but I feel better....I have access to more so ( seven more @ 15 mgs each) I want to use those. Then I was thinkin for the tail end of the taper I could use poppyseed tea.....
What do you guys think or recommend? Maybe actual heoin would be good to start off with then work my way down in strength? I don't know but I sure would like some help here guys and gals....
Thanx for listenin' and uhhhhhhh.....G'night.

I honestly have been thinking about the same thing. I am having just as much trouble as you are getting off the subs. Sometimes I wish I just would have went through WDs a year ago when I started the sub.

Not too long ago, SWIM got a few oxy10s. SWIM didn't take his subs for about 40 hours and then took some of the oxy. the next morning whenever swim woke up, there were no withdrawls or anything of that nature.

I think it would work if you could stay away from binging on whatever you are using to help you get off.

After trying to kick bupe with only benzos and other comfort meds, I truly think weening off with a full on opiate is the way to.

Here is about two months, I plan to stop taking my sub dose daily and switch to an oxy taper. I will start at 100mg/day, and come weekly, down to 10mg a day by week six. After week six, I plan to jump from 5-10mg/day, and do the benzo/comfort med withdrawal from there.

To me, a week of 30x hell is much easier than 4 weeks of 10x hell.

yeah thanx guys .....I have succesfully weaned off the subs with dope/morph combos and when I woke up this mornin I didnt feel tooo bad at all. All I had was some of the runs and a little crampiness in the gut but overall I gotta say its been easier than I thought......I'm still an addict though and to be honest I still wanna get messed up on some Shhh-mack but I know that would be counter-productive to what I'm trying to accomplish which is complete abstinence.
I have a long road ahead and I have already made plans to start going to church and "meetings" (Celebrate Recovery) because I think I need a "Higher Power" to help me.
You know....I just have to bring this up :
I know I can be quite arrogant and I may come off as a complete self knowledgeable Narcissist but I really do learn alot from this site.
I want to assure everyone here that any "Abrasiveness" in my personality only reflects My own frustration in trying to become clean and I never mean to insult or injure anyone.....if I have ever come off as an asshole I am truly apologetic and I hope you all can forgive me. Once again,My frustration has nothing to do with any of you because you are all fellow "Opi's" in my mind. You all have helped me in many areas where no one else could have. I think this is a good place for anyone who needs answers, to turn to.
I never engage in any arguing ( Well.................wayyyy in the past I might have a little, I have been on this site for 3 yrs now..) and I try to stick to the topic of the thread.
It has been apparent to Me that My posts are quickly given the "Black Dot" and closed. I wonder why and if it is because of me then okay....I will try to be less then what I was.
If I'm wrong and just delusional then okay....I will work on that too.
I only wish the best for anyone on this site and I am not out to offend anyone so if I have I am truly sorry. I will work on being a better,more communicative,fellow "Opi" in the instant future.
Promise......please don't blot me out any more.
Thanx for your insight guys.
The best to you all
sincerely,
Sidman
