I am a long time user of Suboxone, 10 years or so.

I started suboxone to get away from almost 10 years of opiate prescription abuse, going through 20 or so Vicodin a day or close to that amount of Percocet, or equivalent dosage of OxyContin, etc...

The Suboxone started at around 32Mg a day, and over the years I've reduced my usage to about 6G a day, some days I manage to stay under 4G. I have a further complication, and that is Benadryl. If I don't take Benadryl with the Suboxone, within about 8 hours I will get highly nauseous. I used to take 4 or 5 Benadryl 50Mg with the suboxone, but have reduced the Benadryl down to 1 half of a 25Mg, which seems to be the bare minimum to keep the nausea away.

I am an artificial intelligence engineer and software specialist with 18 patents, 150 completed tech projects, 13 world's firsts achievements in technology and a variety of other credentials/achievements. I am 49 years old now, and I'm about to enter a new era of advancement in my career where I have massive leadership objectives as well as technical invention and strategical planning I will be responsible for, and I just really want to get all of this needing drugs or being at fear of being so sick with withdrawals that I can't keep up what is expected of me.

I have read the documentation on the website here, and feel I understand at a high level the process and procedure, however, I am still unclear as to how the rebalancing of the receptors combats the withdrawals, as I would have thought the process eliminated them, but I did see one of the testimonials with someone describing going through the withdrawals after the treatment.

Are the withdrawals reduced in severity, or are they what you would expect by tapering off at such a rapid pace?

Also, instead of Suboxone, I'm actually on buprenorphine, the difference being the buprenorphine doesn't have the naltrexone I believe.

I would like to have a consultation, and any information you may have regarding the questions I've posed above would be very helpful.

Do you have a rough idea of how long it would take based on my history?
Also, what is the overall cost (if insurance covers it, that would be great, but if they don't, that's ok as well, I would be paying cash, myself, if need be.)

How booked up are the procedures, and are there any preparations one could make to maximize the success of the procedure?

Thank you for your time,

Trevor Chandler
