TDS Attempting a 5-day heroin detox

[TheUltimateEye]

So it's time for me to make a serious effort at stopping using opiates. I've been to detox/rehabs before and my main question was the amount of suboxone/subutex they give over a 5 day period? The one rehab center i was at used subutex but i was unsure of the amount they tapered me down with over 5 days but by the sixth day i remember feeling pretty ok. Not a 100% mind you but well enough to go to work and function. Another rehab center i was at used methadone over a 5 day detox and i believe they started me at 20mg then tapered down an undisclosed amount over 5 days. But again, by the sixth day i felt fine. So i know it's definitely possible to do this at home (i'll have to use suboxone this time since i have no access to methadone) since going to rehab is unfortunately also not an option for me right now. Any suggestions on what a recommended dosage to start out at and how much to taper down? I also plan on using loperamide as needed since that usually helps me with WD symptoms as well. Thanks in advance for any input/suggestions!

Start low, like 1 or 2 mgs and add a milligram every 2 hours until your good. I always found 7-10 days to work for me. Use the lope after that for any issues that are lingering

Been 9 days... Got any good word for the rest of us? I've yet to see any concistancy in posts on these quick attempts and have been dying g to do it myself. But my Suboxone influx is mostly a dry pool when I need it. Can't waste it in an unsuccessfull 5 day detox. Then I'm up shits Creek...

Use one strip first, then taper down to 1/2 a strip over a 5 day period. Don't get greedy & try to do more, becuz u'll just waste it. Ur not gonna get a high. Good luck
