I got mine offline... if you get it at a store you MUST be sure it is 100% pure with no fillers or anything else. I bought this one off Amazon, but if you can’t buy it there, be so so so sure that if you buy pure vitamin C in a store there’s nothing else in it or else you risk overdosing on whatever the filler or additives are. Follow up on the brand you buy in store, and don’t trust the sales clerk 100%. Hopefully though, you can just buy the one I linked you because that’s the one.
I’ve dealt with this 17 years. DRINK LOTS OF WATER. it really does help. Also, buy the tea Smooth Move from Whole Foods It’s great. Also try Dr Natura Colonix. It’s amazing. They sell the tea too but Smooth Move is less expensive
Dr. Natura Colonix Intestinal Fiber (360g) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0030ZMTTC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_X30EF2ZH78YZZZ8DAF6P?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Urine panel tests that include panels for buprenorphine are becoming more common and are usually 12 panel urine tests (https://www.amazon.com/Areta-Temperature-Instant-Buprenorphine-ACDOA-1144/dp/B07CBK54DB) though they are mostly found in doctor offices to confirm patients are taking their meds and not selling them. Employers can use these for pre-employment and/or post-accident tests but they are not yet the norm.
This is what you need:
The 2mg subutex pills weigh 100mg. Weigh out your doses accordingly
If you’re going to take her in your house, tell her to pee in the drug test you buy. Also do random drug tests throughout the week and tell her she needs to get a job even if it’s part time, a lot of places have shortage of workers and will literally take anyone and temp agencies hire felons and will give you a job on the spot. Drug tests are available at Amazon, make sure to get a 10 or 12-14 panel drug test like this one:
5 Pack AFAC 13 Panel Drug Test Kit, Urine Drug Test Cup with Temperature Strip for 13 Different Drugs - Marijuana, THC, Buprenorphine, Methamphetamine, AMP, BAR, BZO, COC, MTD, OPI2000, OXY, PCP, MOP https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S4FB4P5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_2Z3Y9AMKX97HRA3K6G32
To answer your question about the 0.13 mg pills, the easiest way is to buy a 0.001 g jewelry scale on Amazon. Crush a pill and weigh the powder. For example, if all the powder from one of your 0.20 mg pills weighs 200 mg (like my 2mg subutex pills) you would need to weigh out 130 mg ((0.13/0.20) x 200 = 130) for a 0.13 mg dose.
I do this for my subutex pills using this scale I got on amazon which works great because it comes with a little tray to hold the powder: https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=sr_1_7?crid=3NWZODOVZVFTQ&dchild=1&keywords=0.001+gram+scale&qid=1591800258&sprefix=0.001+%2Caps%2C312&sr=8-7
If you don't want to get a scale you can just crush the pill and divide the powder in half and then keep dividing one of the halves in half until you get as close as possible to the dose you want. You could easily get to 0.125mg this way. This method is much more time-consuming than the scale though.
PS--that taper is very rapid and is going to be challenging. Best of luck! The ideal would be 6-8 months to go from 1 mg to 0.125 mg as painlessly as possible.
This could do it for you. Plenty of room left to cut. Probably time to think of volumetric dosing or getting 2mg strips. Although this worked for me. At this point it's probably not "controlling you" as much as nudging you. See if you can go 48 hrs between then, stretch by a few more hours every few days.

There's no difference
On my computer I use F.lux, it will gradually take the blue light out of your monitor as it gets later in the evening. This mimics the sun going down and appears to help with your circadian rhythm/melatonin production. I've noticed a huge difference in my ability to fall asleep using it versus not using it. Most smartphones now days have a similar function built in.
I was skeptical of it until I tried it. Now I always use it.
There is a great YouTube channel with lots of tips for middle aged men. Here is their supplement video. This isn't withdrawal specifically but things older men may need to supplement with.
Outside of those things I recommend the basics everyone says.
Work out. Working out will help you achieve normal baseline function quicker. The worse you feel the more you should push yourself to go do something, even if it is just walking
Short term liquid Immodium works great for reducing withdrawal symptoms. But you have to take many times the recommended dose. When I was withdrawing from full agonist opioids I would drink 1/2 to 2/3's of the smaller bottles.
You can see if your doctor will prescribe the usual suspects for managing withdrawal symptoms. I.E. Hydroxyzine for sleep, clonidine for blood pressure, maybe benzos but I'd try to stay away from them personally.
Sleep hygiene. Make sure you have enabled something like F.lux to take blue light out of your device's screen when it's getting late, don't take caffeine past noon, basically the more, consistent sleep you get the better you'll do
At the end of the day you can't avoid withdrawals completely but by tapering as low as possible, as slow as possible, before jumping, and by taking steps to make sure your nutrition is OK, you are sleeping well, and taking a few things to help with acute withdrawal symptoms, you'll get through it OK.
Above all else try to avoid the temptation to take more or take something else like pills, H, or kratom, to alleviate the WD symptoms. This can send you right back into use.
Good luck!
Seroquel made my restless legs soooo much worse when I was getting off subs / detoxing in general. Even when I was tapering off subs, my restless legs were relentless. I knon how important sleep is. Trust me. I would try to run your energy out during the day, or try Genius sleep aid — through Amazon. Has nothing addicting and it genuinely helped me. I’ll put the link here. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078SS8T3T?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
I sit down on Sunday afternoon and do all the cuts for the wk and put everything in this pill counter. I stay on a dose for a month so with this one I could even do a months worth at a time. XINHOME Monthly Pill Organizer Box - 31 Day AM/PM Daily Pill Case 32 Compartments for Each Day, Pill Dispenser Container to Hold Vitamins, Supplements and Medication - Includes Gray Plush Pouch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YDZ11T7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_FM27D5C86X4611XR48T4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
This is my experience. You really are going to have to want it. It was literally the most trying withdrawal of my life, and that is WITH getting 30mg methadone, up to 50mg in the 3-5 days that were the absolute worse. You will still be sick for another 2-4 weeks but each day after day 4-5 gets a little better. Buffered vitamin c, hydration and exercise- even if it don't want to- really helped me out.
Do you have clonidine, nuerontin, Imodium? You can buy imodium at the supermarket which hits opioid receptors and will undoubtedly help you taper off a bit more and ease the pain you’re gonna go through jumping from 2 mg.
Also order some black seed oil from Amazon. Zhou Organic Black Seed Oil | 100% Virgin Cold Pressed Omega 3 6 9 | Super Antioxidant for Immune Support, Joints, Digestion, Hair & Skin | Vegan, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO | 8oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076CQXRND/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_DHG5K1EK6G0Q51WPAEEB?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Potent antioxidant, will help with digestion and the inevitable stomach pain you’ll have, also helps ease the symptoms of opiate withdrawal.
You could also do a rapid 5 day taper with Kratom.
Just throwin around some ideas to help ease your pain. Jumping from two is gonna suck.
You want remineralizing toothpaste with Hydroxyapatite, such as this:
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B003CTU27W/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_8YM31E89SQH5137DQ0VE
Or this:
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0016GCZSC/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_GNNBR74MBZ6T430MDYM3
Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral and is the main mineral that tooth enamel and denton are composed of.
Hydroxyapatite toothpaste has shown to strengthen enamel, reduce sensitivity, prevent cavities and in some cases even reverse cavities.
I have used them and can attest to the efficacy. They are more expensive than regular flouridated toothpastes, but worth it.
Hope this helps, good luck.
Normally, You can take your full dose at the same time. Doesn’t make a big difference at all. Subs have a half life of around 36 hours. If you take half of your subs in the morning, 12hours later you have still 85% of your first subs in your blood stream when you take the other half.
When tapering down do it slowly over months. Take every two -four month 0.25mg less.
The slower the better. Don’t tell anybody off your tapering. If you have a stock of pills enough pills you don’t have to go any longer to your dr our pharmacist.

She'll probably get insurance through CC. But if she isn't able to get insurance and she's in SF or Oakland (or not too far from there) and needs a doctor to give her bupe scripts without charging, email me at my reddit screen name at protonmail.com and I can give you names of docs in those areas who will continue her care for free.
(Please don't send me a direct message on Reddit. I have about 600 that I just haven't had the time to sift through. I won't see it)
She'll probably be able to get insurance through CC. They've been great about helping people who make a bit too much and lose Medicaid.

Similar to the K-box, I use this 12" steel lock box along with this timed padlock. It's a bit cheaper and I feel like I can hide it out of site out of mind easier.
The basic idea is that you would mix a solution up, know the concentration of the solution (1mg/mL for example) and then use the appropriate amount of liquid each day.
I like to mix up the solution and then divide it into 1mL oral syringes because it is more convenient (they are ready to go in the morning) and more accurate (no worrying about evaporation or leakage). I did not have a good experience before that because of those issues. I use Listerine for the liquid because it has alcohol to keep things sterile and it tastes decent. I know some others use water, alcohol, or a mix.
I do 0.4mL per day, so I would put 2.8mL in a small jar for the full week. Then measure out the Suboxone. So if you are at 1.5 mg/day, you'd put 10.5 mg in the jar. Let it dissolve and stir. I put it in the day prior and it dissolves. You can mix it if you don't want to wait. Then I put the liquid into 7 oral syringes, 0.4mL each. It is always slightly off so I just make sure that they all have the same amount of liquid. So long as the Suboxone mg are correct, you are good to go.
Since you have to cut up the strips, you can just lower the amount of Suboxone that you put in each week rather than figuring out how much to put it in order to get an exact mg/day. So let's say you start at 1.5 mg and put 10.5 mg in. When you drop, you could put 10 mg in, and that would be 1.43mg/day, then 9.5mg and 1.36mg/day, etc.
These are the syringes I use:
I'm strictly talking about drug tests. Tests from pcp's are for entirely different reasons.
If you are remotely concerned about having buprenorphine in your system then I would suggest getting a few buprenorphine tests from Amazon and checking for yourself before you go to the doctor appointment? Try this - https://www.amazon.com/Single-Panel-Urine-Drug-Buprenorphine/dp/B00A0ZJN3A/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=Buprenorphine+test&qid=1633225806&sr=8-2
Could be possible with Sublocade? I would lean towards no but you can double check yourself at home? There are several options on Amazon, here's one option - https://www.amazon.com/Single-Panel-Urine-Drug-Buprenorphine/dp/B00A0ZJN3A
So I found this one, told him to order it and he did. I'm going to leave keys and fobs at work, I don't have many places I can hide them at home.
These are actually very effective and easy to carry in a bag, or purse.
They usually have them at Walmart in the pharmacy section too.
I used clinical pipettes. See if you doc office has extras. They work great. Or order cheap on Amazon pipettes
Omg. I can’t stand that.
I see Medication Assisted Treatment as a means to adapting to a new life... a new sense of self THEN once you do you you taper off. The medication is really just one piece of that puzzle.
Some people think that addiction is part of a person. It just doesn’t go away. But the brain can heal, we can change and see ourselves and the world through a new lens.
I was in the sauna at about 6 weeks in and talking to a guy that was an AA member. An “old timer” they call him. He has 40 years in. I told him what I did, coming off subs, eating well, seeing a counselor for support. I told him the addict life was behind me. He invited me to a meeting. (Now I was a 12 step member for many years that’s how I knew him) I politely declined and said it’s not for me. By the end of the conversation he said and I quote “my narrative for you is you will end up broke and homeless”. All because I said I wouldn’t go to a meeting.
People like him and your doctor are steeped in the forever broken model of addiction. I think this model is what made it harder for me to stop in my 20s. I believed I was powerless, diseased and without willpower.
What we believe about ourselves is so consequential. It can create a sort of self filling prophecy. Fortunately now there are many in the medical community pushing back on this fatalistic model.
I highly recommend this book if you find this stuff interesting. It’s one of a few that saved my life.

For sure I agree with avoiding those medication due to the bipolar. Antidepressants do have good chance of cause manic episode. It’s more or less a guessing game with what medication works when I comes to mental health.
Have you ever tried Lamictial for your bipolar?
I would recommend slowing down on the taper, tapering I’m not a race it’s a marathon. Get more semi stable and let your body adjust to the change. Relapse is the real enemy, don’t let the fear of PAWS out weight that.

Single Panel Urine Drug Test Srip Buprenorphine (BUP) - 3 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LC2W73X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_DQJ0ET5QPST7VJ20H1WE
I use one of these. I fill it about once a day. It will save you a ton of money on bottled water and save all that extra plastic waste too.
I used this one - https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Weigh-GEM20-Precision-Milligram/dp/B00ESHDGOI/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=mg+scale&qid=1611071628&sr=8-6
It won’t really weigh less than 5-10MG of sub powder though. 10MG of sub powder is 0.2MG of active drug. Once you get lower than 0.1MG it’s not super important to be precise though. Just gotta eye ball it if you wish to go lower (which I did)
Here’s the link:
Yeah I’ve been using these for the past year or so and have been happy with the results. I take two capsules with a meal and I’m good to go.
I say it every time it pops up; but for me magnesium citrate supplements does the trick (2-3 capsules with a lot of water on the days I want to poop). Something like Solgar Magnesium Citrate Tablets, Pack of 120 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B012T97SDQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_epwNFbRN7C08M?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G2QHQJM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_2iRLFb389QJX2
Also, they have containers with time-locks. The more you spend on a time lock, the harder it is to break.....physically and pzychologically
I'm not sure if we're allowed to post Amazon links but this is what I use to cut. Super precise. Just fold in half and cut. You can do that accurately until .25mg (32 pieces). After that, you can't fold but can get it pretty close to .125 by eyeballing it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EWH83FU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_i0HYDbS4SDMSZ

This was the first one that popped up (with decent reviews). Good deal atm too, probably for cyber monday?
I have it myself and it works well until around 0.2mg doses. I believe the 2mg pills weigh 100mg and the scale has a 4mg margin for error. At that point you have to start volumetric dosing anyway really... and it's much easier to drop a 2mg pill into an eyedropper every ~10 days
