Hi-
Im a recovering H addict now on the sub-been on for 8 months-started at 16 mgs now on 4 mgs and tapering to 3 mgs..
Here is the deal w/ coming off the dope w/ sub-you feel like garbage for 3-4 days..and then your are fine-takes a few to stabilize on the med-but once your body adjusts-your are great.
W/ methadone since its long acting i believe you gotta be off for a few days before you start the sub-you are NOT going to feel right for at least 4-7 days-also how much done are you on?
Over 30 mgs..its not gonna work very well...there are sites on the web that talk about switching-over to bupe...you'd be better off getting on the sub and coming off that as opposed to coming straight off the methadone which is a very long taper-even the sub-is a long taper process-but the methadone is way harder to come off of-according to dear friends who have done both.
Search-suboxone on google-or Heroin.
Whatever you decide-Good Luck-and at least your not doing the ****...thats how i look at it-just keep me away from the dope!!!!
