Out of Roxys

So here I am, isolated from all my connects, and out of Roxys. I did that on purpose by the way, I am 3 hours from anything. Over the last 4-5 days I have managed to wean myself from almost 200mg to 45-60mg. I guess my question is, I have one suboxone on hand. I know it can be addicting, however I only have one. I'm not sure if best route be to break that down into 4 quarters and use that over the next couple days, or just go cold turkey. I have on hand, multivitamin, emergnC, ibuprofen, 500mg and 10 mg Valium that I hate taking (only for sleep). All of you out there know more about detoxing than I do, so any advice will b helpful. Thank you.

HI welcome to the forum how you holding up if it where me I would put the sub aside its only going to prolong your withdrawals  and isent the whole isolation thing part of the way your doing this ?? just ride it out it wont be as bad as it is in your mind it always wost in our minds then it turns out to be keep posting to let us know how your doing will be out here for your  support
it 1/4 to 2 az time and your not up that a good sign but if you are let this encourage you to keep pushing threw the pain the prize is worth it you wont be chained to a pill bottle anymore good luck and God bless......Gnarly

~Im saying prayers tonight for God to hold you really tight right now. Jump off that sinking ship (cold turkey) and start swimming (withdrawal) to the beautiful cruise (sober life ) across the ocean. Sometime you paddle harder and think you cant make it but youre swimming with the current and it will take you there,,,I wish you all the best! Its a bumpy ride for a few days in the beginning but the calm waters are ahead. That I promise. Dont forget to address the issues that keep you reliant on the pills (depression or pain) and make the necessary changes so that doesnt hold you back and youre left bobbing in the water,,,I wish the best! Bkitty~

Thanks for the advice, I usually take a pill first thing in the morning so I'll know for sure. I hope The Lord gives me the strength, I I have seen him give others to over come this. By the way, I'm in need of some type of sober coach, it doesn't have to be in person, know of anyone I can talk to on the phone, or maybe a hotline?

Break the suboxone into four pieces that would be best. Do NOT take it until you are in withdrawals...  Sometimes mixing subs with other meds can throw you into withdrawals...  That has happened to me. I mean if you can pull through this not taking it at all then dont......  I wish you nothing but the best.  For me suboxone just turned into a cheaper habbitt than oxy's..
