Talk to your dr asap. The amount of oxycontin you are on is extremely dangerous. Even if you are used to it - it only takes the next dose to send you into respiratory arrest. And mixing with Fentanyl is worse - omg! You are lucky to be alive! No good dr would ever put you on suboxone, sorry. You need a dr guided taper and you need it now.
Dont tell him to forget about suboxone because this has helped many people. Now just really think about it before taking cause you would eventually have to make a plan to get off of suboxone too. You have been taking very high amounts of oxy so I wouldnt cut down everyday neither. I would just go down a nudge then maybe take your jump every 5 days or so to let your body get used to the new dose. The point of tapering is too wean off the drug with the least amount of w/d's possible, and jumping everyday, you might as well just go CT. Much love

Forget about suboxone..My doc told me to cut down to 60mg os oxy a day..Monday night I quit C/t..He gave diazipine..Its helped ALOT My wife is being a ***** so I guess I am on myown..So far 26 hours without. Not as bad as I thought.. Lots of baths..and vitimans Good Luck
yea i planed oni going on suboxone when i get down to a small amount of oxycontin. i cant go on it now because i get sick everytime i try becasue i have to many opiates in my system. i was wondering if you knew anything about suboxone ? what amount i should be at before i start the program ?
Just do it little by little, let your body slowly get used to having less and less until you don't need any at all. Cutting one pill a day is taking a big leap
Good Luck!
ok thanks for the info... becasue i wake up sweating everynight and my back is killing me ....ive done cold turkey before... i cant handle the anxiety part..
You shouldn't cut down everyday - you cut down a little, let your body get use to it. After 3-4 days cut down a little more. You cutting down everyday you might as well go C/T!
