In the past I have put on a BuTrans patch(Buprenorphine), 20mcg/d, and I literally suffered almost no withdrawal. This lasted about a week because I know it was the duration of just one patch. The only thing I can remember at the time was, wow this is unreal, I basically have no actual drug withdrawal. Now, I definitely started taking Oxy 80s again but I'm not sure if it was right away or not.
Anyways, my question is this, if you were to take my situation and go cold turkey off Oxy while on the same amount of BuTrans and go for a week, once that week is up and you take off the patch will you go into some INSANE withdrawal or will it not be so bad since the Oxy is out of your system? I know BuTrans can attach itself to the brain and it makes me wonder if it's just playing a trick for the week and then I'm screwed once it's off and I don't go back to taking them. If anyone with similar experience could give me their input I'd appreciate it. And, of course, any other help would be lovely.
If what I said above is true I will go ahead and taper off because I'm sick of this. I haven't even been taking Oxy for a year but have experienced with Opiates before and know how horrible they are. Now I have a daughter and don't want to lose any potential I still have in life, as I am 24 years old.
Thanks for the input, everyone, it's deeply appreciated.
