So, a little background, started on oxy maybe 8 years ago, progressed to shooting heroin, then eventually got clean from being locked up. For some stupid reason ended up going back to H. Been bouncing back and forth from h to subs the past year or so. usually score h tuesday or wednesday, use til about friday, saturday latest in order to get on subs sunday so not sick for work monday, then use subs for a few days til the next pay check on wednesday. usually pick up a gram and half or so. this week though, really going to try to taper with the subs and get off. started with 4 mg sunday morning, 4 mg this morning (monday). the plan is to go to 2 mg tuesday and wednesday, 1 mg thursday, .5 mg (hopefully, maybe 1 mg) friday, then see how bad it is over the weekend without taking anything, since no work on the weekends. any thoughts and input would be greatly appreciated. trying to set it up so that can try taking nothing during the weekend when nothing is going on.
 
What you have written is your best bet. since you switch between dope and Subs I dont know exactly your tolerance to Subs so u might be good. A lot of the times when people are tapering off subs after using them for a year or so, they will taper past 1 mg and go to .5 then to .25 mg if u feel shitty after jumping from the 1 mg mark. take a .25 and see if that makes you feel better... if it does. i would stick with taking .25 and then jump the following friday
