Suboxone is the devil

Ok, first, Matt's Mom just asked me some VERY good questions in her last comment which I will address in my next post and I will respond to Bugerlugs comment as well. But for now I have to make this quick. I am catching up on my hypnotherapy class. Did I mention that yet? I am taking a basic hypnotherapy class. I plan to do the full 1 year program as well. Just need to get caught up on billls n stuff first.

My main goal in this was to be able to do hypnosis calls for work and to make mp3's for my callers. But I ma seriously considering taking it a step further and offering "therapy" sessions by phone or cam for sexual issues and fetishes as well. Alot of people have issues with shame and guilt because of their fetish and I want to help with that.

But anyways, a quick note on the title. I weaned down on my suboxone. I tried jumping off and got HORRIBLY sick. HORRIBLY. Almost as bad as methadone wd's. The only reason it wasn't was because I got more subs after 24hrs. If I didn't, I would have ended up in the hospital. So I have now ordered Kratom to try again. I am also trying to get in with a doctor to get a script of baclofen. I will get into what these things are and how they have helped or are supposed to help in my next post or two.

 All I can say is IDK what to do. I felt so good about myself that I got off the oxy, got my life back. I am working, making money, taking care of my family...so proud. And now this. I knew getting off subs would not be easy but I had no idea it would be like THAT. I have to find a way. I am buying subs off the street and as we all know, that won't last forever. And there are times I may not be able to find anything and be left horribly sick again. That CANNOT happen. I want my life back. I am going to take it back. I just don't know how yet.
.
I have a few plans, we will see how it goes. Wish me luck because I am terrified. And another problem is I am back to IVing my subs. Which shoots the BA up and makes them more potent. So even though I have weaned down I am making them stronger. I have to get that under control. I only have one needle left. After that it will be hard for me to acquire more without my husband finding out. I need to just destroy it and give him the subs I have left and make a schedule for myself. We will see how that goes,heh.

I have researched and researched baclofen and kratom and read many, many good things. I know my doses and how to taper n such. This has to work or I am fucked. I wish I had money for The House of Iboga. Google it, that place is amazing. That root is amazing. I used baclofen for the first 5 days off of subs and it worked great. But I ran out and that is when the horrible sickness came over me. The stomach pain was UNBELIEVABLE. I retched and puked and dry heaved til I choked. I am TERRIFIED. There was no reprieve, no rest, it never stopped. Not like when you have a stomach flu and you puke then feel better for a bit. No, it was constant.

Don't get me wrong, I think suboxone can be  great for some people. But it is a powerful drug that doctors are over using to make money. When I was put on it, I had weaned my oxy habit down to 30 mgs/day. That isn't shit compared to most. That isn't even what is normally prescribed. My doctor looked at me like I was crazy when I told her my does (my GP, not the sub doc). Asked me what the problem was because I was taking less than the prescribed dose. I told her the problem was that I was addicted, buying from the streets, taking for the wrong reasons. I wanted help and she told me to come back in 3 weeks and we would talk about it. WTF? When an addict comes to you for help, you don't fucking send them away. That was the stupidest shit I had ever heard. Well not THE stupidest but damn close. 

So I go to this sub doc, he puts me on 16mgs! For a 30mg a day habit. That was ridiculous. And he wanted me to take it for a YEAR! WHAT!?! I immediately started to wean down and use the rest to make cash to pay for his expensive ass. Fucking drug dealers, the lot of them. I should have been put on a low dose for two weeks and then weaned off. That would have been proper for my habit at the time. They way over use this shit and it ends up being worse than the oxy. All about the benjamins baby! Check out what the House of Iboga says about suboxone. How bad it is for your body. And it is true. After a few days back on it, I can really tell. And the mind cloudiness, never noticed til I tried to get off, crazy shit man, crazy.

So that is my sad, pitiful story. I am sad, terrified, not so proud now. But I have to do this. There is no choice. My kids deserve better. And that was another bad thing. My poor babies watching me be so sick. I know my little girl was worried. She was so happy when mommy felt better and that breaks my heart...

I took part in the subutex trials in GB about 15yrs ago. It's the same drug as suboxone without the naltraxone which is the real devil. The drug itself brupenorphine (temgesic) has been around for a long time and is in my opinion far easier to wean off than methadone. Only problem is that's the easy part, staying clean is the hard part. I was also told 32mgs is saturation level, no matter how much more you do than that you wont feel any higher. Anyway good luck X
