Update on my situation about subs not working anymore due to heavy 7oh

Just to refresh my situation, I've been using 7oh pretty heavy daily for a pretty long stretch without breaks. About 3 weeks ago I was upwards of 1300-1500mg daily. I've also been on subs for the past 2 years, never skipping my daily sub dose. Talk about stupid. For the longest time, whenever I would take a break from 7, I'd usually just double my sub dose for a day or 2 and deal with a couple days of moderate WDs, but usually be just fine within 3 days or so. This past 9 week run with heavy 7 usage , my subs decided to stop working for me. I'd wake up EVERY night in full blown WDs from 7, even though I had just took my subs like 4-5 hours prior.

I had really went too far this time, always thinking buprenorphine would bail me out. So I thought maybe I'd try a few of those reset tabs along with my subs and cross my fingers. I didn't take any 7 all day yesterday and instead used 6 reset tabs spread out thru the day. I still took my daily bupe along with those reset tabs, and by the time yesterday evening got here , I seemed to be functioning pretty normally, even got a full night's rest, which hasn't happened in about 2 months !!!

I'm I believer in this SR compound for sure, because I thought for sure, my particular situation was pretty much hopeless

Question about buprenorphine and SR

I'm curious if SR will affect the way buprenorphine works. I want to take SR for a day or two while simultaneously still taking buprenorphine to stop a 7oh dependence. Currently, my subs aren't working anymore due to prolonged heavy 7oh usage. I feel like if I can stop the 7oh and replace it with SR for just a couple days to where my bupe will start working again, I should be good to go. I've quit 7 before, but those quits, my subs were still effective. I've found that if I can just get thru the first day or two of no 7, the subs really start to do the heavy lifting so to speak. Thanks

Hooked on 7, daily bupe user, curious about SR

A few weeks ago I was taking somewhere in the 1300-1500mg ballpark of 7 daily. I've managed to get that down to around 250-300. I still take 12mg buprenorphine daily, but it has pretty much stopped working for me. I still wake up around 2am in full blown WDs every night. In past 7oh quits, it is my experience that if I can just get thru a full 24 hours, maybe 36 hours without taking 7, my buprenorphine usually starts working well enough for me to get out of the severe acutes from 7.

Here's my question, if I was to stop taking 7oh, and instead start taking SR for a full day, meanwhile STILL taking my daily sub dose, but only taking SR for a day , just long enough for my subs to start working again, does anyone think that might work??

As the title says, I've finally completely backed myself into a corner this time with NO WAY out but thru the storm. I've been on subs for 2 years now and for the past 14 months or so, been taking 7. Really dumb decisions plague my daily life. My normal protocol for when it's time to quit 7 is to just double or triple my daily dose of subs for a few days until the acutes from 7 are over and then drop my sub dose way down and I'd usually be ok. I've done that countless times over the past year or so. I'd usually go anywhere from 2-4 weeks straight of daily 7 usage, then quit for a week or so and then do it all over again. I just couldn't stay away from the 7. My daily intake of 7 was usually anywhere from 200mg up to 500mg daily, and then like I said, I'd take double my sub dosage for a bit and quit 7. But this time around I've REALLY F'D myself good. I've gone 9 weeks straight of HEAVY 7 doses maxing out around 1200mg daily. I am completely out of money with absolutely no way to get more. I tell myself that I need to taper down before I quit and that lasts for a few days and then I'm right back to taking nearly 200mg doses all day long again. Subs have completely stopped working for me at this point as my body has become dependent on both substances. A couple days ago I doubled my sub dose (24mg) in the evening to see if it would carry me thru the night and I woke up at 200 am with extreme restlessness, sweating , RLS, the whole deal. I've only got a few tabs left and then a MAJOR STORM is waiting for me. Hopefully this is the LAST time I have to go thru this shit.

TLDR : been taking subs (12mg) and 7 daily. Subs don't work anymore and out of money for anymore 7 tabs

So, I keep seeing ads on social media for a product called o.r. reset and they come in blister packs of 3 or 6. Is this the S. R that people are referring to? I've yet to do any research on that compound, but I'm pretty sure I remember seeing the 3 pack costing like $25. And I gotta believe that a person gonna need a WHOLE LOT more than a lousy 3 pack to help out..... how the hell can u afford to get that stuff?
