2mg Methadone to subutex

[Skkulex90]

Hello all. I'm brand new to this site and I'm hoping this is the right spot to post. Very long story short, I've been on methadone maintenance for about 3 years. I'm about 5'3, 101 lbs, and I was up to 120mg until I was comfortable and no longer withdrawling from dope. (Weight/height information maybe's helpful with how long this shit will be out of me?)

Anyway, for the past year & a half I've been tapering about 2mg/week - VERY slowly and as comfortably as possible because I'm so over this shit. My last dose of methadone was 2mg about 76 hours ago. I was on the 2mg dose for 5 days and then stopped. Even at the 2mg I feel like hell, and have an option to take subutex.

I've looked all over the internet and I know everyone says to wait the 72 hrs but sometimes more. Since I was on such a low dose am I going to go into p/w or should I be alright.

Thanks in advance.

Impossible to tell. However the best rule of thumb is if you are in moderate withdrawal you are good to go. I suggest taking a very small amount of sub like 1mg and see how that effects you if it helps take more, if it.makes you feel worse you need to wait longer. At least that way with a tiny dose youll be able to tell if you are ready with out risking severe precips.
