In reply to Suboxone vs. Subutex...same effect/no naltrexone?, posted by Shay Sweet on October 16, 2006, at 8:52:52
I dunno anything about the naltrexone addition, except that I'd avoid it.
Switching from methadone to bupe at 30 or 40 would not be for the fainthearted. Two people I knew who tried (under supervision) to switch at 30 ended up with asthma attacks in hospital that were sufficiently severe to cause the effort to be discontinued.
For myself, I wouldn't think of switching above 15. This may sound terribly low from where you are, as if to get to 15 is almost as difficult as getting to zero. But I don't think that's so.
My explanation for last night's rotten sleep is that I went down 5 micrograms. Truly. Maybe I'm wrong. I suppose it's a question of how high the ladder is that you are on. I understand completely about how rotten methadone makes you feel.
