Update
Finally stable at .04mg (40 micrograms)
It took for what seemed forever, about a couple of weeks, in reality.
I had about 4 nights of hard to drop off sleep.
I guess in part this was due, to altering the volume of water(doubling) in my taper solution.
Prob best to always keep the dosing solution the same concentration, unless you are prepared for a little extra reducing on your taper.
When times got hard during the tough nites, I would take a sliver of bupe powder, say .025mg.
To offset this, and to avoid going up in dose, I made sure, i punished myself. And by this, I dropped a further .01 mg every time I had to cut a slither.If I felt i did not to punish myself, I would either just allow one fuk up per week, or just take it off the dose the next day.
Anyway, we all have our own systems, and as long as they work. My thinking is that if i accidently drop too hard, a slither of bupe, applies just enough braking to the taper, to make the adjustment period, a bit easier, and a bit longer if needed.
I do not want to miss a whole nights sleep yet, as I am still tapering. I would not care, if I had stopped tapering, so it is important for me, to keep my sleep dropp off, pretty constant.
The Good News
What is truly important, is that when you drop a dose, like I did from say .07 to .04 mg, you just bear with it, until you get that feeling, and trust me, you know when it comes, and yuo know you feel 100% normal.
Just as I finally do now. Sometimes it is hard to see the end of a reduction, but there definately is a rythm to each drop, and i just can not tell yu how wonderful it is, when you reach baseline again, and your sleep returns, and even on waking, you fell pretty damn good.
Again, the further i am dropping, the fewer symptoms I am noticing.
I have even changed my dose to 50% at waking, and 50% 12 hours later.way.
Now the days are good, and so are the nights, well until the next drop, any
I am very happy at the moment, just finihed working hard, and will stay here for a few days and drop again.
What I think is amazing about this, is that I feel 10000% , and so far so good.
I hope to achieve a totally pain free, paws feree experience, that will help other members,
Research Update
Addiction now has a name: TLR4 (toll like receptor, 4)
A discovery was made 3 months ago, by a fellow Adelaidian , here in South Australia.
In short, they can now turn off addiction and tolerance, and offer pain relief via opiods, without addiction, by blocking a receptor called the TLR4 receptor.
patients in hospital can now recieve opiods, with this tlr4 antagonist, and never build tolerance or addiction.
Do a google search, if you have time.
And have a guess what the actual chemical is…………
(+) naloxone (not to be confused with naloxone)
This is the unatural stereo isomer of naloxone.
The treatment, is not available yet, unless you can access (+) naloxone, or you know how to seperate racemic (mixed) naloxone.
