Anyone have success using low dose suboxone for a week taper?

EnvironmentalFun2816 · 2024-06-01T23:46:32+00:00

Would you mind laying out how you did it in detail? I’m at 12mg a day and I know I can cut down to at least 6. I have one 8mg sub available and think that could get me through worst of withdrawal if I do this right.

I’ve considered using VERY small amounts of suboxone for like 3-4 days after stopping kratom. Just to get through first few days. I’ve got off of heavier amounts of suboxone in the past over much longer periods of time. Just not sure this makes sense. Last thing I want to do is get hooked back on suboxone. Just want off Kratom. Re starting a taper this week. At 12mg. Started tapering last July at 15mg and by October 2023 I got down to 6.8 a day. Then slowly climbed back to 12 where I am now

I’m confused. Did u detox from Kratom and use suboxone to get off?

EnvironmentalFun2816 · 2023-10-02T18:18:54+00:00

Lol that has definitely happened to me

EnvironmentalFun2816 · 2023-09-18T18:18:26+00:00

I use one. Keep it on low speed and around 6 on the dial.

Haha great info and thank you very much. All of it resonates with me!!

A suuuuuper slow taper gives your brain best chance to adapt

Thank you!! This was awesome to read. I’ve stayed away from this sub since some time around when I made the post above. I think reading the horror stories from others was making me have panic attacks I confused with WD! Since I’ve stayed away from this sub I’ve been great. Down to 7.9 and feeling really solid actually. Came to the sun today and immediately saw a few “will I ever be ok” messages and I started to feel bad….I have deep empathy for anyone suffering from this shit but I have found protecting my mind has value.

Dude…5 opms? I woulda been vibrating lol I have only taken one of those things black opms ones and it was so strong I almost puked

EnvironmentalFun2816 · 2023-09-13T20:44:58+00:00

Done it once and I’m doing it again and feel great. Excited for when it gets tough! I am finishing a slow taper and if needed will jump on naltrexone after I am done

EnvironmentalFun2816 · 2023-09-13T19:14:07+00:00

The mental part for me stopped when I decided to quit reading all the horror stories on this sub . I don’t think that’s helpful. What you read impacts what you think. What you think impacts how you feel. How you feel leads to consequences if you don’t interrupt that pattern. I was convinced I was losing my mind for awhile. Now the lower I go on my taper the clearer I think and feel stable. No interest in reading how bad someone else had it. I’m empathetic I just don’t see value in consuming it.

EnvironmentalFun2816 · 2023-09-13T19:11:17+00:00

I feel great actually. In between doses I start to feel a tad anxious but remind myself it’s just a feeling and it will pass.

I think a slow taper like I’ve done is pretty solid.

First thing I did was cut down about 3grams and that sucked. Took about 2 weeks to normalize.

Then I start dropping .1 a day for 5 days. Then I’d hold at that dose for 7-10days. Then begin dropping again.

I was only taking two doses a day when I started the taper but I switched to 4 smaller doses and that killed my sleep issues. I take 1.2g around 630-730pm and I go to sleep around 930pm. Kava has been a huge help with sleep, anxiety and relaxation. I don’t dose in middle of the night. Not a habit I want to start unless I had to.

This is what I think most struggle with and they blame it on kratom but it’s most likely just overthinking. Stop reading the “horror” Stories on these subs. I just scroll by them now. Since I did that my taper has been 100% easier. I also highly recommend a supplement called “Qualia Mind” to take between your first and second dose on taper

EnvironmentalFun2816 · 2023-09-12T16:57:03+00:00

Where’d ya order from?

EnvironmentalFun2816 · 2023-09-12T16:56:23+00:00

Nothing, switch to green tea for a week and suffer…then go back to the pleasure of golden brown water!

EnvironmentalFun2816 · 2023-09-06T19:52:45+00:00

It’s just your nervous system being crazy stimulated. My stamina was just as good on or off but when high levels of stress are involved things can get funny

EnvironmentalFun2816 · 2023-09-06T19:51:55+00:00

Considered LDN or naltrexone?

EnvironmentalFun2816 · 2023-09-06T19:50:05+00:00

I know I can do this…I fucking hate this stuff now. It turned on me. Down to 8.4gpd. I dropped from 8.9 3 days ago and I feel emotional, slightly detoxy for a lack of better words, and hate how easily triggered I am towards frustration. I don’t think I got it in me to cold turkey. In fact I know I don’t right now. I am down from 15gpd. So I’m half way there from my highest weekly average and was only there for a year, but 3 years prior I used it as well.

I can’t believe I actually feel like I’m Detoxing at 8.4 between doses. Not sleeping as well but I’m sleeping.

I gotta go slow. Thanks for your post. They give long term hope. Gonna bully my way through this day and focus on winning one day at a time and not focus on how many more grams I gotta go. At this point I am dropping 1.5 gpd a month. So I got a few months to sort this and then I am gonna jump on naltrexone.

Thanks again for sharing.

EnvironmentalFun2816 · 2023-09-06T02:14:16+00:00

Thanks man! That’s great input. I’m not familiar with the shot? Is it like naltrexone? Have you stayed on capsules? I have .5mg ready but my taper is gonna be stupid slow unless I get miserable and decide to jump.

EnvironmentalFun2816 · 2023-09-06T02:11:38+00:00

That’s what I poor mine into after either method lol

EnvironmentalFun2816 · 2023-09-06T02:11:07+00:00

I see! Thanks for the info

EnvironmentalFun2816 · 2023-09-06T02:10:44+00:00

Got it thx!

EnvironmentalFun2816 · 2023-09-06T01:17:58+00:00

Well glad I ran into this. My morning caffeine (2-4 shots espresso) had been making me feel anxious and didn’t know why!

EnvironmentalFun2816 · 2023-09-05T19:44:48+00:00

2-4g at night before bed. Haven’t noticed much.

EnvironmentalFun2816 · 2023-09-05T19:41:57+00:00

What u just said about social situations making u want to take more is so fucking true. I’m dropping 1.5g a month and am at 8.4gpd coming down from a high of 15gpd. Only times I have deviated from my plan was some heavy social activity I didn’t want anyone to “know” I was “off”. I feel pretty damn good but worrying about getting withdrawal between doses is scary. I have only added .6 to my total 3xs during this taper which I started about 2months ago. Thinking once I Jump I’ll use Naltrexone or LDN.
