Detoxing Subutex

Updated

I have been on 16 mg of subutex for ten years, last Tuesday I had surgery and decided that I was going to try to come off the subutex, use the pain mess I was prescribed for the surgery and then be done with it all. I was prescribed perk 5 mg every four hours, and at the time of the surgery I had been off the subutex for 24 hours (I know that's not long enough) To my surprise taking the perk as prescribed held me over at least in the beginning. By Monday night I was in terrible withdraws (despite still taking the pain medication as I have been). By about 4am I took half of a 8mg sub (which was around 10 hours after the last perc I've taken) The 4 mg not only took me out of WD but it down right got me high. I was quite upset with my lapse but was determined to not let it be my down fall I said I would not return to my normal use because I want to be done with them, 24 hours later I felt WD coming on, I held out to thirty hours and I took a 8mg sub and cut it into 4 pieces this thine and then took 1/4, once again it not only took away my WDs but it got me high, I'm writing this now, feeling ok and getting ready to go to bed but I know my WDs will start some time tomorrow and I don't know what to do. As I am pleased that I am taking so much less sub I'm worried that I'm reversing the 5 days I made it with only the small amount of perks, what should I do the next time my Wds kick in?
