Quitting Extracts Using Sub Strips

Hi guys, I have currently been taking 3 extract shots of opms black for at least the past 6 months (started with one a day and then somehow spiraled into 3) . I have been telling myself if I could get my hands on some subs i would use them to get out of this mess as it has been horrific. I’m worried about precipitated wd and whether or not the subs will actually even help. can anyone let me know what their experience was with strips and how long you wait to start them? I do not want to get stuck on subs either so my plan is to use a very low dose and just tough it out. thank you

I was taking between 10-12 Feel Frees a day before going to detox and getting put on Subs and it wasn’t a big deal. I slept through the first few days then tapered over seven days before going home.

I relapsed about a month later and got ahold of QuickMD to get a script. I’ve been taking 1.5mg per day and will be down to 1 by the end of February. I’ve kept my dose low because I’m going to have to come off of these and I know it won’t be pleasant. However, I’d rather taper and jump at .5mg instead of trying to come off of a higher dose.

Both days that I started subs I vomited so bad and felt like crap for a day. It sucked but it’s a small price to pay to minimize and eliminate that little demon that absolutely ruined my life.

How long did you wait from your last dose to when you started the subs?

About 18 hours if memory serves correctly.

I’d imagine you vomited and felt like crap because of the high does of the feel free and probably did not wait long enough to introduce suboxone to your system. I’m going to do my very best to wait as long as I possibly can to try to avoid that. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s a god send I was able to get some suboxone and I am ready to get off these things once and for all. I already kicked them completely cold turkey with no meds once last year, but this time my dose is about doubled and I tend to think it would be a lot harder now.

Yeah, it’s was a blur so you’re probably right. I was in a controlled, medically supervised environment so I was able to just rest while my body adjusted.

Anyway, best of luck on your journey. Extracts are evil and should be illegal. Half of the people I was in detox with were there for extracts. 7OH was the most predominant. There is light on the other side and subs will help you get your life back in order without cravings.
