Oh how do I begin... I am 19 now.. But it started when I was 12.

7th Grade My Best Friend A (now dead from heroin OD) He got in a fight and broke his hand and got lots of hydrocodone, Which started my opiate addiction. From there is the usual, percocets, Oxycontin and Heroin. I was on 5 Vials of H or 4 80mg Oxycontins everyday for about a year and went to rehab. Out of rehab I was in Outpatient counseling. Only to relapse a few times until I thought I should try to get on some kind of program.

Well methadone was everyday and I lived far away so I had to get on bupes. I was on bupes for about a year and a half and trying to get off this stuff is almost impossible. I mean the withdrawals aren't as BAD as OC or dope, but they are way longer. No sleep, sweating/cold, those are the most annoying things. I didn't really encounter the whole knee//joint pain but for 15 days and nights I could not control my body temp no matter how many shirts I took off or put on or blankets I took off or put on I could not sleep.

So now I relapsed again because the withdrawals from trying to get off Bupes are so hard. This is about my 7th time trying to get off bupes and it doesn't matter if I take 1mg or 8mg or .001mg for some reason I still have withdrawals.

It's very hard to get off these Bupes.
