I will only be using the buprenorphine for about 4-5 days. Not absurd amounts but I'm doing a taper down so in theory the kratom would be fully out of my system and I'd be withdrawing from the bupe moreso than the kratom.
I totally understand what you're saying. I know that bupe has an incredibly long half life. But it does not have severe RSL like prolonged kratom use does.
If all in all this ends up being a horrible idea as you said and I'm just suffering at the end.. I'll taper down off kratom. I just want to try a different way to do it. I was facing regular depressive episodes on kratom the longer I stayed on it ironically. I think I would be a bit happier sober. With the quarantine in effect still virtually, I have time to feel god awful. I've had my fair share in the opiate realm and have been playing the game long enough to know that the pleasure component of it is entirely gone. Any positive qualities or thrill is basically lost and it's went from a 9/10 sensation to a baseline one. Occasionally I would score a great oxy high the times that I did dabble in it, but even so eventually the brain is just underwhelmed. You have a limited amount of times to get high off of opiates before it becomes a hell on earth scenario imo. I never want to be a daily user of any opiate related thing from this point forward. It's been awful since the end of year 1 and I refused to face reality.
It is too late to heed your warning unfortunately Deru. I'm already off kratom/opioids and on the suboxone. It hasn't been an easy transition but I feel straight right now. I have two questions -- if the bupe does cause a hell-induced withdrawal, I won't be able to feel any kratom for 3 days post the last dosing of bupe--correct? Should I just wait for those 3 days to be up or would I be out of the woods by that point anyhow?
I haven't cheated or taken kratom along with the bupe thus far. I can't even find enough information to know if that would just induce precipitated withdrawal off the bat anyway.
