Hello all,
I am currently trying to get clean from heroin and was wondering if it is possible to implement a short term methadone taper, similar to how one might use buprenorphine, in order to get thru the withdrawals as painlessly as possible. Subutex does not work for me the way it used to and methadone has recently become available to me.
How much would be a good starting dose for day one for someone using about a half gram of heroin per day? How often should I dose? How much should my dose decrease?
Any info you guys may have would be greatly appreciated.
