Kong - how did the switch to suboxone go? I hope things are going well for you on it.

How much suboxone are you taking each day? It will help with physical withdrawl in my experience, as I am undergoing switch from Oxy -> Subs now. But mental battle is very difficult in withdrawals.

I've been taking two 8mg strips each day, and progress is showing. Because I know if I do Roxi it will have no effect on me unless I stop suboxone for several days. I'm still taking Xanax & Valium. I will have to taper those drugs, as cold turkey gave me a mild seizure.

If I may be of help of any, inbox me & I will do all that I can. There is the light at the end of the tunnel, and OpioPhobe is very knowledgable and his advice should be acknowledged.

Regards, Viktor.

P.s - temporary pain for permanent freedom is within grasp for both you and I

Detox

I went to a rehab center and detoxed for three days. On day four, I was started on Suboxone, 4mgs, every 6 hours. I did this for two weeks and then stated weaning. I am at one quarter strip of a 2.0 Sub, three times daily. Then we taper again in two weeks and so until I am completely off. It is a slow course, but the wd's don't drive you nuts.

I just wanted to chime in, I started subs about 17 hours after taking my last dose of oxycodone. I didn't feel that bad when I took it so I was worried I might have taken it too soon but about 30 minutes later, I felt "normal". Did you ever start treatment? I hope things are going well for you.
