Hi rampage,,
WELCOME TO SR!!!!!

I agree with phish. I am on Suboxone. Are you detoxing, and weening off? Is there a certain period of time that they keep you on it? It basically will take away all of your
withdrawls. You really will have none, coming off opiates.

Have you waited your 18-24 hours since last using, before taking the first sub? That is the MOST important thing I can tell you about it. I hope your doctor already has told you that.

The other thing I would like to tell you, in my experience is, the lesser amount, the better off you are. Like phish said he is on 4 mgs total, but there are people that stay at like 2 mgs.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes, we are here for you..
God Bless,

Love and prayers,
Becky
