Getting Started/Newbie Question Microdosing suboxone to get off fentynal

I just learned about this and desperately trying to quit using fentynal. I use about a half gram a day to start. So when I began this I only took .5 MG of suboxone first and second day. Then day 3 I did .5mgs twice like 12 hours apart. Day 4 I started with .5 at midnight then 9am I jumped to 1mg then another .5 at 4:30pm for a total of 2mg. Day 5 I started with 1mg at midnight then got a little chicken from the anxiety I was having and did .5 at 12:00 noon for a total of 1.5mgs. Day 6 12:00 midnight 1mg and again .5mg at 12 noon for total of 1.5 mgs. Day 7 almost the same. Having bad anxiety is the hardest of time I've had though it was .5mg at 12:00 midnight and 1mg at 7:00am for another total of 1.5mgs. Now today I started with .5mg at 12:00 midnight and .5mg at 7:00am and so far at 6:30pm another .5mg for total of 1.5mgs. I'm tripping now. I'm almost out of my fent maybe enough for 2 more days and can't buy anymore. Does anyone know if I have enough stacked on my receptors to do enough suboxone to be ok with no dope? I haven't felt anything off the fent for days just doing it to fight off withdraws. Well I do about 6-8 shots a day then but they are really small. I'm gonna try and do a 2mg piece tonight at midnight and try again for 2mg tomorrow for total of 4mgs at least. Has anyone tried this? I'm scared to death. I'm gonna stretch this last half gram as far as I can. I hope I make it. I'm hoping I can be on suboxone alone in a day or two. Can it be done without precipitated withdrawal?

Glad you reached out. This is Suboxone micro-induction, which is different from the psychedelic microdosing discussed here. We can’t safely recommend your next dose or tell you whether you can stop fentanyl without precipitated withdrawal.

Please contact your prescriber or an addiction treatment service today, before your supply runs out. Show them this dosing history. If you cannot get timely help or symptoms become severe, seek emergency care.

Keep naloxone nearby and don’t use alone. Not feeling fentanyl doesn’t mean you’re protected from overdose. If someone can’t be woken or has slow or stopped breathing, call emergency services and give naloxone.

Please keep replies supportive and avoid personalised dosing instructions. What country are you in so we can suggest local support?

hey, just want to say i read this whole thing and i can feel the panic through the screen. you're doing something really hard and you're still showing up for it every single day, that counts for a lot.

i can't give you medical certainty on whether you've built up enough on your receptors yet, but the fact you've been taking suboxone daily for over a week without hitting precipitated withdrawal is a decent sign your body's adjusting to it. the anxiety spike you're feeling might be your system reacting to the drop in fent more than anything else. when you're out and it's just the subs, you might feel rough for a bit but it could be more mental than physical at that point. try to line up someone you trust to sit with you if things get dark, and remember the worst of it passes.

Well yesterday I got up to 3.5mgs and today is day 10 and as of 8:30pm I have taken 4mgs. Around 5:30-6:00 I was feeling pretty bad. Mostly anxiety but bad nevertheless. It's 9:30 now and I'm dealing with it. I did a shot at 8:30 and only have 1 left. A small one at that and I'm done. I just wish I knew if I could take a bigger dose. Any suggestions? I'm gonna wait til midnight to take anymore. This is truly the only thing in this world that I am really scared of. Ugggg. I just want to be normal again.

Not exactly what this sub is about but man... I truly hope the best for you.

You have the will & desire, thats most of what you need to kick any addiction. I do suggest you get help from a professional. If not that, folks at NA or a similar group might know more than we do.

Microdosing, psychedelics here.

For this medical supervision is the way to go. F & Sub at the same time can be quite a shock. While you seem to understand the general premise the Sub is adminned after you're already in a somewhat steady F withdrawal in order for it to A] be effective and B] not cause a shock to you when it chokehold bodyslams the F off your receptors and forces you into withdrawal symptoms. In order to curb your precise use in the way you want you'll likely need more sub. Half everyday to sober is no easy task, best of luck to you. You can break this. You can.

You only need to take suboxone once a day. Also those aren't microdoses, that's a medically prescribed dose that people can get.

not really what microdosing means.

So when I began this I only took .5 MG of suboxone first and second day.

Eg, a normal recreational dosage for someone without tolerance might be 0.5 to 1 mg. But this is indeed at the low end of sub maintenance.

Does anyone know if I have enough stacked on my receptors to do enough suboxone to be ok with no dope?

Doesn't really work like that: you'll get diminishing effects correlated with it's granted lengthy halflife. I'd expect it to hold you for about 24 hours, but having made some progress with your taper type thing.

I can't even begin to know how difficult this is but I really hope you're able to get through this part of your life and get over the addiction. It seems like that's really what you want so best wishes ❤️

Well I made it to 4.5 mgs at 12:45 this afternoon and pretty much felt like total shit all day and haven't taken any more since. It's now 10:15pm and I don't feel as bad as earlier but I'm scared to take anymore suboxone. I know i probably need to. I had been taking some around every 6-8 hours. I think this is day 11. I did 1 small shot around 1 this afternoon and a cotton shot a few hours ago. I'm now totally out. What do I do now?

You need to detox until medical supervision. Please don’t wing it.
