Hello,
New member, long time lurker here.
I have searched threads but can't find one specific to my situation.
I am addicted to codeine and I am absolutely desperate to get off it.
I am taking 2,100mg a day.
I could taper but I am considering the Subutex route just for speed, as I no longer crave the high and if I could click my fingers and stop this then I would.
Does anyone know where I could find a tapering schedule (I have looked for absolutely ages, but the amount I'm taking isn't covered) or be able to talk me through it?
I'd be eternally grateful and just want to get my life back.
I CWE three times a day, with no doses in between.
I know how unpleasant withdrawal is but if it means getting on Subutex then I will do it happily.
The only thing is that I don't really know how long is safe to wait with the amounts I'm taking but I can go 12 hours without even thinking about dosing.
I also have no idea what dose of Subutex I should start on, how long I should stay on it, or when and by how much I should reduce.
TL;DR: I take 2,100mg of codeine a day and I'm considering Subutex to withdraw. I have no idea where to beging and I'm looking for a withdrawal schedule.
Thank you so much in advance.
