We can't give medical advice for good reason so you would have to talk to your doctor. 10 strips is not enough to do a proper taper based on what you are taking daily, but in my experience sub detox while sucky is no where near as bad as full opiates. It does drag on a bit longer.

The times I got off sub I was able to drop down quickly from high doses. It was the last 2mg to zero that always were the most difficult. I would take just enough to get by and space out my dose more and more.

I will warn you now though there is a high risk of relapse when you taper too quickly so think about what that might cost you in the end. $6,000 might be a drop in the bucket. (especially if you have flexible spending through insurance). If I were to relapse on dope I could easily spend 6 grand in two months and add on top of it the chance of arrest and or overdose and my choice would be simple. Find a way to complete the sub program the right way! Good Luck to you. Take Care!!!
