sub vs heroin dose

[RedRum OG]

i know this is a very basic question but i searched and searched and couldnt really find a good enough answer.

i shoot 3/4 a balloon of tar three times a day. it is good quality for tar, but probably not quite as good as the average powder, but this is all speculation.

what dose of sub should i start out on to slowly taper? im guessing 2mg since my tolerance is still pretty low. what does bl say?

try 1mg sublingual, theres a good chance it will hold you, if not try 2. make sure to wait until you are in withdrawls to take the sub.

tbh if you feel like your habit/addiction isnt too bad maybe try cold turkey since sub is alot harder to come off even at a super low dose

^im using it for a very quick taper. im hoping to be off of it in a week

cold turkey was too cold for me i already tried

can i get 2nd opinion on the 1mg?

the bupe wd will be even rougher man.

If you think the heroin WD is bad..........get hooked on bupe.......or better yet methadone......

You'd begin praying to have the heroin WD back.......


Make it a VERY quick taper......less than 5 days MAX. Any longer than that and you will have screwed yourself a lot worse. Take as little as you can to not feel as sick. DO NOT use it as a crutch until you feel perfect or you will get hooked.


Go to NA meetings......that will seriously work wonders if you take it seriously.

I had to go back on Heroin to get my sub dose down to a managable level, I was at 8mgs a day for a few months and it was too much, I was still chasing that high.

I didn't really have to go back on Heroin, I wanted to, but I did realize that it's way easier to get off of than subs, so I went on H for a few weeks then was able to get down to a couple mgs a day within a few days of being off of H.

Definitely make sure you're ready to get off of the opiates and use the subs for a week or two at most, keep your dose low.

I'll warn you though, if you're not ready it won't work, make sure you're ready and make sure you have support lined up to help you establish a new living pattern that doesn't involve opiates. It's been hard as hell for me, I may just have to stay on a low dose of sub that gives me no buzz whatsoever and then taper for it to work.

I wish you the best of luck, I guarantee you'll be successful if you want it bad enough, just make sure you're at that point. If you're not, there's no shame in going a daily low dose of sub until you're ready, it's a step in the right direction.
