Withdrawal From Buprenex

[Schlub]

Does anyone know how long and how severe withdrawal from Buprenex may be?

I've been using it for 2 months, to aid in my detox from the hard stuff. I've tapered down from 4 amps a day to 1, but trying to get below 1 ampule a day is a constant daily struggle NOT to use more. Sort of a death by a thousand cuts situation, if you know what I mean.

So I'm thinking about going cold turkey after I see my addiction doctor today. But I'd like to know what I'm getting into, because I can't afford to be sick for 2 weeks right now and have zero energy and be depressed. A few days, yes. But not 2 weeks.

Any clues? Thanks!

heh heh
You remind me of Hermes, the Greek God. He is the trickster, the sacred thief. He invented a musical instrument called the lyre to lull Zeus to sleep and then stole his herd animals..LOL
I've got a statue to Hermes on one of my altars at home.  

Stealing medicine for your people is holy work. And words my friend, are medicine. At least yours have been for me.

Never think you don't matter or haven't had an impact. I'm living proof that you have.

lots of love,

ok, ok i stole that one too (i told you i was a thief) i think it
came from a Hoyt Axton song called "less than the song."
my poor head is full of 50 years of hard living- but there was
always music and words--my own someone- elses most of the good
stuff is someone elses. very little of what i write measures up to
an "archetyple standard." writing is very dangerious (at least for
me). i usually hate things i write because it doesn't measure up
to the things in this world that are truely beautiful like my wife,
the man who helped me get clean the first time around. so writing
is dangerious and self loathing usually comes real silent and real
swift.

**** listen to me...i'ld rather tell you about kip the thief &
junky.

you know what to put on your shoulder!!!

hey there:
if you go to Canada to get 8 mg of codiene mixxed with tyelenol,
beter tak a wheel-barrow with you to start toting your liver around in. if person is going to do this there is a very simple
method to seperate the codiene out. just plug opiates into your
search engine.

you can buy any drugs you want in the pharmacys in mexico. there
are laws against posessing these very drugs. the local police
enforce these laws selectively, so if you head on down there to
take a little rx vacation, don't forget to have enough money
to buy your self out of trouble!

A family member brings back aspirin with 8mgs codiene from Canada.  You would have to take four of these to equal one Tylenol #3.  I don't know about anything stronger than that OTC in Canada.

Another family member tell me that it's getting harder and harder to get meds like fioricet or vicodin from Mexico. At least that is the case in Juarez and some of the other border towns.  Has anybody else experienced this?  J.B.
