Welcome to S/R. Welcome to getting back to living life without codone addiction. The sub's are highly effective alleviating withdrawal symptoms. Keep in mind, they are maintenance for that reason only. They do not make you high. They are as some have said "the miracle", from bouncing off the wall withdrawals. A large dosage is not necessary. Just enough to maintain. In due time, after a couple of weeks you will have to withdraw from subs as well. Use it wisely at low dosage for the time you need. I personally used 2mgs a day. It was a very effective treatment. I am now after a couple years free. My last few months I spent tapering to .25mgs. No more do I have any cravings. I'm not crazy to think I've beat this, but I have to say, so far so good. Best to you all.
