Can you take root bark & opiates together

I was thnking if am going to swith to SAO- morphine or dihydrocodine to get off subs then why not also use root bark aswell?  can this be safe and doable scenario? the RB basically to help with the depression and too help me take less opiates, and the SAO to help me with the withdrawals of subs.. Basically I want to use SAO's for 3 months, or even longer, but can I also use Root Bark with the SAO for 3 months or however long for? I don't mean to suggese use RB ever single day but generally use it with the SAO for the amount of time I will be on SAO.. Hope there is nothing negative about this combinition?

I only know of a friend that had success of using SAO Poppy Pods and he microdosed between 500mg-1.5gr.  One time he had a bit too much like say 2 gr and he felt very uncomfortable.  But that is all I know personally.

RB can potentiate opiates so you must be very careful if you try this, start at a low dose of RB and SAO if you try this route. roxine

Yes will start a a lot dose, but I will also be coming off the subs, does that matter to the extent of taking more SAO and RB as needed?...I will plan to take RB and then 1 tablet of Dihydrocodeine time release (60mg), not at the same time though, will take DHC about 3-5 hours later..Am wondering would this help me... Like I said I will be in sub WDs so am nor sure if RB will potentiate the DHC that much? Can RB potentiate the half-life of subs if one has not taken a dose of subs for couple of days? or does it only potentiate when you actually take an opiate dose???...I assume the RB can potentiate long acting opiates more then SAOs? thanks.

Micro dosing is awsome and it def helps me in my decrease in methwdone from 70 mgs to 45 in 3 weeks thanks to microdosing and tommorrow im gonna skip a day from the clinic.... I ain perfect but I broke in to my stash of dilauded 8's and shot a couple, HOLY SHIT my tollerance has gotten so low cause of microdosing. I almost think I wont have to go for my flood when I walk off the methadone clinic. aaai feel like going and when they give me the cup of methadone, I wanns spill it on the flore

RB can potentiate opiates..  I am not sure about the subs but it may help with the withdrawal from them but I don't have any experience with subs only methadone... happysparrow, I am very happy that you have been able to reduce your methadone intake so quickly, but you haven't been on it long enough (this time?) for it to really have grabbed a hold of you and if someone has been on it or subs for years it is much harder to reduce that quickly root or no.  I do believe it can help one reduce but maybe not as quickly as you have been able to do.  I just want people to be able to see it can be based on other factors than just dosage.  I think you should go to the clinic, spill it on the floor and yell "I-Bo-Gaine" and just walk on out... LOL, just kidding, but it would be pretty awesome roxine

Than you, like I said I was sick as hell and had to jump on the meth because my package didnt come fast enough and when it did come, I lagged a littel bit moving up to 70 mgs cause i was so sick, I was smart not to go up like they wanted me to. I finnaly got on  medical supervised withdrawal And like I said I  am about to walk out that place but my girl goes there also and her counsler thinks im useing her, thats all I need is methadone clinic drama, I give em all a hard time. Its real weird too, NOBODY in line have ever heard of ibogaine and they think im a weirdo about talking about this magical medicine.  The dr at this clinic was baffeled when I told him Ive done it, at home and Im doing it again.  he tried everything to keep me there,evan offered me a new counsler which would of been my 3rd counsler, remember I was here 5 years ago and theres only 2 people that are still there I hate the counslers.. Its gonna be so cool to go with the old lady and while shes in line and what not Ill just be sitting down relaxing. If they say anything ill try to make them feel bad for me and be like I aint got no money, Doses are $14 a day and $5400 a year    F*&% THAT I said it and illsay it again, after decreasing so much and with taking somuch rootbark, bout 2 to 3 grams a day and when my arms moved they look like X-Rays But my tolerance has went way down, I now this cause I did a couple dillie 8's.    I will abstain tommorow and I will skip dose my 45 mg dose.  And I shall come back to update, as I have a few threads I continue to update on my progress
