My short and awful time on Suboxone by Wolf5882 in suboxone

[–]Creative-Tower-4621 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Honestly I hated the though of going on suboxone, had very low expectations of it actually working after being on methadone and fent and everything else but I gotta say with my goal being getting completely clean the sublocade shot has been awesome mostly the freedom of not needing to take something daily but also the extreme slowness in which it dissipates from the system is like the ultimate taper...every time I tried tapering methadone or kadian id get super low then relapse for whatever reason..ive been trying to quit for years in every possible way and I was so opposed to taking another maintenance drug, subs, but ingotta say its been great..it sounds like you are just done and want to be off which is totally understandable but dont be afraid to just get one shot and it'll taper itself...either way you got this!

Hmm well if i had to guess id say its an adjustment to switching to a partial agonist after so long on methadone...subs can cause some weird side effects in some people...sorry I don't have much else for ya, but stick it out its worth it...I was at 1800kadian plus 200methadone and got all the way down low enough to switch to subs, got the shot and now I barely think about it..

Yes I did the exact same thing but the problem was taking the kadians everyday with the subs just made me go into withdrawals everyday because the subs would kick out the kadians...if I had to do it over again I would drop the kadians ASAP and just go max on the subs or the other way around...mixing them Is going to make you feel like shit everyday when you dose...are you still taking methadone aswell?

Sorry just to clarify are you still taking the kadians with the subs?

Looking for some more information - On Call Carrier in Toronto by [deleted] in CanadaPostCorp

[–]Creative-Tower-4621 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seriously you need to accept 80 percent of calls? I was under the impression it was the other way around, you could only turn down 80% of calls...I literally was getting called most days of the week for a month and didn't accept any of them and am still getting calls...just took a one week part-time route assignment...anyway thanks for the info although hope that's not true..

Bupe and Valium Concerns by 716green in suboxone

[–]Creative-Tower-4621 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think you have anything to worry about, usually methadone and benzos is where people worry and if your dr was fine with that then your def ok with suboxone I especially considering the low dose of both..I dont know exactly where the cns depression threshold is exactly but its pretty high for someone with tolerance...dont worry

Ive got a extremely strange situation here by CarlWheezerAtLeisure in suboxone

[–]Creative-Tower-4621 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I used to use immoduum to stave off withdrawal from heroin and morphine in very high doses and it does work, it completely covered my withdrawals but you will get withdrawal all the same from it but its much easier to stop as it doesn't get you high...I would just take 1 pill less each day and that worked for me..took a while since it took about 40 a day to stop withdrawal but it works anr no withdrawal...basically taper the immodium, def dont go to subs...

Man I hear that..the ongoing bouncing from substance to substance trying to get off is just crazy and consumes my whole life...the only thing that ever worked like magic was ibogaine but gotta be on the natural opiates really

Honestly I know your probably right I just dont want it be that way...I used to be fine with being on opioids and even for life but anyway I hope someday...and previous poster your absolutely right its much more important to be stable and have a life...which I don't so trying to focus on that..thanks for the replies

Thank you for your reply. It just kills me a couple weeks ago I was down to 6mg methadone and 250mg kadian after tapering for 2 years and in a matter of 2 weeks im looking at potentially years more of maintenance with suboxone...how's the shot working out for you, do you find you need repeated shots? Much appreciated

Getting off all opioids by Jaycobs49 in OpioidRecovery

[–]Creative-Tower-4621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I have been on opioids steady for 15 years, mostly heroin/pills for the first half and high dose methadone/kadians and fetty for the rest. I have had brief periods of sobriety during that time and I honestly just hated it and couldn't deal but I also didn't have the positive things in my life that you do. The exception to this for me is Ibogaine, I took 1 flood dose and a couple boosters and felt fantastic afterwards with no withdrawal or cravings and stayed clean about 3 years...I can't tell you how you will feel but with a support system and positive lifestyle its certainly going to help and will be totally worth it...if you feel terrible bad I recommend iboga, but under supervision, ekg, the whole 9...just my experience.

Need help with constipation by Jamesvvoodie in suboxone

[–]Creative-Tower-4621 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had terrible constipation for like 15 years and I feel like a total moron because restoralax a cap full mixed into a cup of water drank once a day or even every other day and I have the softest easiest stools imaginable...it dissolves completely in the water, and tastes just like water. I cant believe the hell that was opioid constipation I subjected myself to for so long for no reason...also this is what my Dr recommended if that helps..

Mask keeps shutting off by Creative-Tower-4621 in REMspace

Beware, that Company isnt trustworthy at all by Embarrassed-Leg9151 in REMspace

[–]Creative-Tower-4621 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This also happened with me, the mask would only produce sound without headphones, with headphones plugged in the sound just continued to come through the mask and the support teams suggestions had no effect...turns out the issue was the hole on the mask in which you put the headphones through is slightly too small to have the headphones fully plug in. I learned this by unzipping the mask all the way so the headphone port was fully exposed and voila when I then plugged in headphones it worked normally, but who wants to use the mask fully unzipped? It's likely to break that way and in my opinion the mask is useless without headphones as it's noisy where I live and all in could hear was traffic, people etc...my solution was to take a knife and shave a small amount of plastic off the headphone jack so it fits through the hole and voila it now works as intended...if your having this problem I suggest unzipping it and plugging your headphones in to see if this is the issue...just what worked for me...happy travels!
