I couldn’t find much info on here about this and what info I did find was wrong based on my experience so I’m gonna share what I’ve learned. I take 3 strips a day. When I want to use heroin or fentanyl, I’ve found that if I keep just a little bupe in my system, I can easily go back to taking the bupe daily. Today is July 22nd and I started using fentanyl on July 4th. Did the fentanyl for maybe a week then switched to heroin. Was using heroin until yesterday. So that was a 17 day binge and in all that time I took no more than a single 8mg strip of bupe. Just a small piece every 5 or 6 days. Just enough to keep it in my system. I was a little nervous yesterday when I ran out of heroin because I’ve never attempted this for such a long time before, but I took a strip last night and sure enough it was all good. I’ve done this many times before but never for this long. I even slept some last night. Maybe others can’t do this and I’m just lucky but I don’t think so. It can be scary taking the bupe again after a long binge because of the fear of precipitated but as long as you keep that little bit in your system you’ll be fine. At least IME.
 
Glad to hear this experiment works for someone! I’m on 4mg of bupe after a number of attempts to jump off it in recent years. Been a bupe patient for 11 years after having been a heroin addict. But, I’m feeling a little vacay is in my near future. Had some norco for a few weeks and that was fun but not enough to scratch that itch, ykwim. I just didn’t take my dose for the day which worked out just fine. That’s the plan for future appointments with my doc. Lol
How’s shit going for you now, OP?

I've been on a 2mg strip a day for a few years, and even if i skip that days dose, I could shoot all the fent in Mexico and not feel a damn thing... you're lucky for sure!
