.324/ml Taper

[buprenex]

I am on .324/ml of Buprenex. I had been taking Vicodin 10 to 15 mg a day. I ask my doctor for Buprenex for pain. I tried to get off the Vicodin. I've tapered myself once with a doctor on Vicodin and at that time I was taking about 20 5MG Vicodins a day. I detoxed from Buprenex in Jail as well. At this point I am educated about Drugs and withdrawls. Deal is I used one dose of Buprenex at the start of my withdrawl attempt. It was more than I needed to stave off withdrawls. By the time I got access to Isulin syringe to control my dosage accuracy I became addicted to Buprenex. I knew to use minimums and get of fast this might work. For me Buprenex was used in a detox in patient as well. At that time I left the clinic feeling good.  

I had a clondine patch I put on wrong, anyways I soon found I was addicted to Buprenex. So Buprenex is totally addicting for me. I have been tapering by splitting my dose into 30cc of 100 cc syringe About a third of the Buprenex Vial. I did okay in spacing the dosage out and lowering the amount down to 30cc dosages. I have not adjusted to any  further tapering well at all. I've suffered real good made litle progress over the last month.

I am just perplexed by this. I been far worse off before. I thinking about Rapid Opiate detox, done this before and as I have siad mixed results, not working to good. I learned a heck of a lot, does any one out there have any refined advice or knowledge about doing this taper from such a small amount of Buprenex. Actaully my dose is 4 30cc injections about 4-5 hours and longer at night when I sleep.

Appreciate some one taking time if they have some knowledge to share. I feeling bad becuase I have the Buprenex to Taper with and some control over work ETC, more freedom than a lot of people have and I get this to work. I have a fair amount of disciplne with exprience but am losing the battle.

Thanks

There is a misunderstanding of my post. I have been thru detox several times and have been thru Buprenex In patient Detox. I simply asked my Doctor to switch my pain med to Buprenex so I could try my own Detox from what I know and have learned. I did use tell him I was attempting a Detox. I went thru a bout of pain and relapsed.

What I know is my .324MG Buprenex dose is equivalent to 10 MG of Morphine. I have had my doctors use shots and under the tongue in my  detox expirencees. I am not sure why you say Buprenex treatment has been messed up versus what overseas protocol, why do you think that exactly?

Thanks for your response.

Believe it or not... some docs use the shots... mine wanted to for the first day... I told him NO WAY.
Just another example of how Sub treatment got messed up when they brought it to the US

Buprenorphine is a synthetic opiate that binds to opiate receptors and stimulates them. It is similar to one of the original opiates, morphine.

Buprenorphine is 30 times as potent as morphine and does not result in the negative gastrointestinal effects typically associated with morphine.

Buprenorphine is rapidly absorbed after injection and the effects are usually felt within 15 to 30 minutes, lasting about 8 hours.

why would your doctor give you this to get off of Vics.....?

I know of a site that has a forum with some people that would have experience with Buprenex.. Some have used it for pain management some addiction.  Its the site herion-detox.com  go to the Buprenorphine/Suboxone forum there.
