I have been using opiates for about a year but until 4 months ago wasn't using daily. I then began a daily regimen between 150-300 mg oxycodone or a few mg of fentanyl here and there(yes mg, not mcg I know the difference :)). I tried cold turkey a couple times and became suicidal, couldn't eat, sleep vomiting etc etc. I am down to 40 mg oxycodone a day and am waiting for some buprenorphine to come in the mail. I am also starting lexapro today to help with the depression that I have always had and have treated so far with various drugs, the most recent being opiates. I am wondering where I should go from here, i.e. lowering my oxy dose, or keeping it steady until the bupre gets here, or if I can quit cold turkey from the current 40 mg daily dose. just looking for a little advice, am new to the board and am glad I found it. Thanks, Deezy
