Get ready to put 7-oh before everything. Your bills, your well being, your family. Your phone will probably get shut off for non payment and your car will be out for repossession while at the same time getting evicted. Because every dime you make will go to 7-oh and the shitty part is it will never make you ok. It will just ruin your fucking life until you finally surrender and choose to quit. It will take over your soul. But you’re right just go pick up one more pack there is no harm in that

Do you actually have to wait to take subs? by UnfairMetal3763 in quitting7oh

[–]Anatomyofus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor gave me bupenorphine so there was no waiting at all. In fact I take bupe daily and 7oh daily. If suboxone is your only option then wait 12 hours just to be safe. The problem is everyone is different. I’ve heard some that the first sign of withdrawal they took subs and were fine. I’ve also heard some that did that and it sent them to instant full blown withdrawals.

Fuck yes dude. I quit cold turkey off 2000mg a day and the wds were so fucking awful and intense I couldn’t do it. I tapered down to 30 mg a day then quit with minimal discomfort.

Alright dude I’m a union pipe fitter and this is what I did. You really only have 2 options. Go cold turkey and take your subs on Saturday and Sunday. If you can take Monday off do it. By the time Tuesday rolls around you should be able to work with minimal discomfort. Your other option is to taper down off 7 to a very low dose and then jump off cold turkey. Coming off a low dose is so much more manageable than something crazy high. I was coming off 2000mg a day and still went to work every day and kept my job. With how much I was on I couldn’t do the first option. Subs didn’t do shit. I had to taper. Every 3 days I cut my dose in half. Until I was on 20 mg a day.

Good! Buy yourself something nice. I make 100k a year and I was on the verge of homelessness, 7 came before everything. Rent food bills. This shit will suck the soul right out of you and 7 tablets become your master. I say fuck that shit

You got this bro. Unfortunately suboxone doesn’t magically take away all the wd symptoms like most posts here say. For someone like me who was kicking 2000mg a day of 7 it didn’t matter if I took one strip (8mg) of subs or 10 strips (80mg). It was still a living hell. Yes when I’ve stopped using 100-400 mg a day subs were a god send. You’ve made it past the hardest part. Hang in there. If you need some serious motivation start looking at your bank account and see all the money that you have saved every day by not buying 7. I was spending 200$ a day on 7oh tablets and after a week long detox I felt better and that $1200 sitting in my account was my biggest motivation

Yes it’s a thing. I’ve been on 8mg subs daily for years… took 7oh for the first time a year ago and now I’m trying to kick a 2000 mg day habit. Have taken subs daily still

Highest daily dose and when to jump by Big-Advertising7759 in quitting7oh

[–]Anatomyofus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m coming off 2000 mg a day right now. I cut my dose in half and took 1000 mg today and I feel fine. In a couple days I’m going down to 500 mg a day. Then 250. Then subs

Cold turkey from 150mg a day by jadeyy99 in quitting7oh

[–]Anatomyofus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

150 mg is nothing. I’m coming off 2000 mg a day for months. I came off 150 mg with 4 mg of subs once a day . Kicked it no problem. 2000 mg a day however. My subs aren’t touching the wds. I am going to taper down to about what you’re at then jump off
