Mmm, this very interesting, and completely opposite to what I have been led to believe and witnessed.
You say you went straight onto subutex off a 30mg/day methadone habit, WITHOUT ANY PRECIPITATED WITHDRAWAL?? How the fuck did you manage that? Did you stay off the meth for a few days first until you were really rattling or what? I've never done subs myself, but the wife tried it when she was on 20mg/day of meth (having not taken any for 24 hours) and suffered the worst withdrawal she'd ever experienced. I'm currently on 40mg/day of meth and would like to switch to subs when possible, but I can't see that being a realistic option for quite a while.
So what's the secret man?
I said and quote.......
spoke to my drug worker and she suggested that since I was already down to 30mgs and that I had given clean urines for months, I could try Suboxone. I had heard more or less good things about it and I was right up for trying, even if it did mean 3 days without any Methadone. To be honest, the Meth was still going to hold me for at least 48 hours, so I thought I'd only have to rattle for a day. That is really how it went but the 3rd day was pretty horrific
I said that had gone 3 days without my methadone. My last dose just held me off long enough (ie:the following 2 days) not to suffer too badly till the 3rd day.
