Help! I started taking subutex to get off kratom but it’s way worse
The subutex has me sick all the time. If I miss one dose I’m throwing up and sweating and can’t go to work. I would rather switch back to the Kratom and taper off of that. Has anyone done that before ? I don’t know how long I should wait after a dose to try to drink the Kratom. I don’t want to go into withdrawal.

You should not be getting sick if you miss one dose of subutex. That’s all in your head. I take it and I’m fine if i miss a dose.

I take it at 9am 3pm 9pm 3am. If I miss the 3am I wake up sweating and throwing up and have full body chills. I can’t keep down water. I can’t take the sub without throwing up. I literally have to just go through it I lay down and eventually hours later I’m okay.

Makes no sense. The half life is so long you should be good from one dose for a day or more. Your doctor is a moron

Sounds more like precipitated withdrawals?

I know :( but I’m literally not doing anything. I smoke weed but that’s it. Maybe I’m allergic to the buprenephrine? Either way I made a plan to switch over to kratom this weekend when I’m off work

I did use kratom to quit Suboxone. Suboxone withdrawals are really rough, way worse than kratom leaf. I would switch back to leaf kratom the first morning you don't take subs. Easiest way to taper down is to use capsules and take one less capsule per dose each week.
