i have to say something here. now the difference of switching over from god knows how much methadone for how many years to bup is a very f*cking scary dangerous proposition which any doctor in good faith would tell you. methadone is the most f*cked up of all synthetic pain killers. that's why it's so easy to get. that's why the people who take it are generally from the lower class of life. you don't see people who are suffering in mansions taking methadone.
america has had a drug war for god knows how long on everything except methadone. i wonder why. i'm not against methadone. no way. i just find how it's distributed and how the people are treated that are on it to be pretty f*cked up. once you are on that sh*t you can't get off.
so for this guy to start taking bup for seven weeks and comparing it to someone who is switching from methadone which means they used to have i would imagine a pretty decent relationship with dop / heroin to be just a little differetn.
it wouldn't be strang for someone to have a seizure switching form meth to bup.
my point being that i find the comparison not weighed properly.
this guy is taking buprenorphine. that's like getting totally drunk one night and waking up and feeling sick and thinking you are going through dt's because the guy next to you who has been drinking for the last twenty years is going through dt's.bad analogy i know.
