Hello to anyone who is listening. This is my first post on bluelight. I created this account to seek advise. I am quitting heroin after using 2 grams a day for the past year. I need to know where to ask a few questions. Specifically about a Suboxon induction and taper schedule. I have 56mg of Suboxon and have no idea how to create a plan. Please help.
 
I'm a Heroin/Opiate addict, and have been for 10 years.
I went to rehab last year, and tbh, their short term detox worked incredibly well, with Suboxone.

My taper went like this,

Days 1-3 [12mg]
Days 4-6 [8mg]
Days 7-9 [4mg]
Days 10-12 [2mg]

A total of a 12 day taper.
I literally felt almost next to nothing, withdrawal wise.
Sure you'll have insomnia, and shit like that.. There's no way around insomnia after stopping opiates, no matter how good and or long of a taper you do.

Me personally though, I would do a taper like this,

Days 1-3 ... 12mg Suboxone
Days 4-6 ... 10mg Suboxone
Days 7-9 ... 8mg Suboxone
Days 10-12 ... 6mg Suboxone
Days 13-15 ... 4mg Suboxone
Days 16-18 ... 2mg Suboxone
Days 19-21 ... 1mg Suboxone

Good luck
