HI, I am new to the forum. I've been an on and off Heroin user (snorting) for the last ten years. The first five years it was a pretty steady habit. I'd get clean every so often but it wouldn't last long. In the last five years I'll binge for weeks or months and then go months without. This last binge has lasted about six months and I was up to about a bun a day and the quality is really good. I know it's time to stop and hopefully this time for good. For the last couple of months I've been trying to taper and I've gotten down to about five bags a day and for the last couple of weeks about 3 bags a day. I have eight bags left and I'm going to try to make it last as long as possible so when it's time to stop, I've tapered as much as I can. I do have 1 and half 40mg Methdone diskets so I'm hoping to use that for a couple of days after my last bag to help with the worst of the withdrawals. I'm also going to try to pick up five 8mg suboxones.
I've never tried the Methadone before and while I know it's not much, I'm hoping the 60mgs I have will help a little. What's the best way to handle that? I was thinking 20mgs for two days then 10mg for one day and 5mg for two days so over a four day period. Then using the subs for a few days or as long as I can make it last, then switching to Kratom to help with the anxiety which is always the worst part of getting clean for me. I do have a handful of 2mg bars of Xanax so that should help with that.
Any advice on the methadone and also how long do I have to wait before taking the subs. I've taken subs too early after dope before and it was the worst so I'm hoping to avoid that.
Thank you!
