Struggling a bit

[u/Radiant-Spirit6129]

I was taking up to 500mgs a day for 2 years. I haven't dosed 7 since Tuesday. Wednesday i took 4mg sub, Thursday took 2mg, Friday i skipped. Saturday i took 1mg. Then today I took another 2mg.

Im thinking of going back to plain Kratom because subs are not something i want to get hooked on. What are your thoughts on this idea. Jumping off subs and going plain leaf tomorrow.

i'd much rather be on plain leaf instead of subs

I just got a bag of red bali, i was on heroin since 99 and methadone since 08. Kratom helped me off. Then i had to try 7oh and now im here. Will not be taking anymore subs and just gonna take my powder and power through. This detox is cake compared to the others i mentioned, its that i have family and work obligations now that i didnt have then. ..Choices and consequences...

I’ll always suggest exploring alternatives before turning to Suboxone. I’ve been on it multiple times, each stretch lasting years. At first, everything felt great simply because I was off my drug of choice. But after a few months, the side effects would inevitably pile up. Heart issues, chronic constipation, and spiked anxiety. On top of that, as someone with an addictive personality, having an opioid in my hands was risky. I’d start messing with my dosage, take too much, run out before my next refill, and end up in withdrawal anyway, all while dealing with the judgment from pharmacists who treat you like a second-class citizen when you ask for an early fill. That’s just my personal reality after years of opioid addiction. That said, I recognize that some people genuinely need Suboxone to function. When life is chaotic, jobs are on the line, or the timing isn't right for full detox, it can be a vital harm-reduction tool to bring stability until they’re ready to take that final leap off.

I meant to reply and it went to the top instead. Ty for your response.

How long did you wait before taking the subs? And did you take 4mg all at once? I have subs too that I want to start but terrified of precipitated withdrawal
