1) I can just tapper my DOC – as if it was successful in the past, ya right I know that one part of my brain is messing with me, and the rational side is really weak right now. Hope everyone is well, safe and sober! |
You will be fine… you’re just psyching yourself out. As usual, our brain always invents the worst-cast scenario. I had tremendous anxiety again switching back to subs from my heroin habit. I am now approaching 36 hours without heroin, transitioning to suboxone, and I feel great! Suboxone is still a miracle drug to me. Sure, lots of people abuse it, stay on it too long, take it too early, or whatever– and have bad experiences. That’s usually because they’re not educated on it. Just wait until you are in full withdrawal (24-36 hours since your last dose of opiates) to take the Sub. You should be able to maintain work and transition smoothly with little to no discomfort during your detox from your DOC.
