hey BL, the title pretty much says it all. i have 2 8mg subs available, although im paying an arm or a leg for it (hopefully doesn't fall under price dissuction). would 2 8mg strips help getting off a dope habit and if so can you kinda type me out an plan? thanks in advance. i tried to search, but couldn't find anyone tapering with only 1-2 strips.
 
I'm sure it'll be better than nothing, but how much it helps depends how much you've been doing and how long. When I had a little baby habit and was snorting about 5 bags (mediocre east coast powder) a day for a few months I got through w/d fine with about the same amount of sub u have. I would start with maybe 4 mg the first day, and then maybe another 4 the next day and then 2 and then 1 and then you're pretty much good.
If you have a bigger habit, you're probably gonna need a lot the first day or two. Since it has a naturally long half life, even if you need to take it all in the first two days, it'll stay in your body a while and let you down pretty easy

***You need to wait at least 12 hours after your last dose to take the sub, or it will just make it worse. This is super important, you need to really be in w/d to take the sub. the first day, start out small and take more until you feel better (it takes 30-45 minutes to kick in sublingualy) the next day do the same thing, and after that work with what you have left to taper down.
If you have a big habit, think about finding a sub Dr, if you don't want to be on maintenance, you can taper off right away
 
It might not be entirely painless, but its definitely possible and I've known many people who have successfully done so. If I were in your situation I would set up a taper as follows:

24 hours after your last shot/sniff/inhalation:

  • Day 1: Dose a maximum of 6mg in 2mg increments, redosing no sooner than 2 hours apart.

  • Day 2: You now should have 10mg left. Once again, start with 2mg and limit yourself to 4mg for the day.

  • Day 3: With 6mg left, dose 2mg in the morning, followed by a single mg in the evening.

  • Day 4: You now have 3mg left. Dose 1mg in the morning, and .5mg in the evening.

  • Day 5:Dose .5mg in the morning, and .25mg in the evening.

  • Day 6:Dose .25mg in the morning, and .25mg in the evening.

  • Day 7: .25mg, your done.

  • If withdrawal persists, try using 20mg of loperamide and taper further from there, but honestly you'd be best off to just deal with it rather than draw it out further.
 
Thanks man thats just the response i was looking for. ill keep you updated, i have about a 3 bag a day habit, so i wouldn't consider it that bad, but i this is my second kick and ive been using for so long its just a part of my routine.
 
Great post and nicely formatted, Znegative.

JakeJake, 16mg of subs is quite strong, considering the very long half-life of bupe. Follow Zneg's dosing patterns, and you will have a smooth taper in to sobriety. If PAWS becomes too much, exercise as much as possible (even walking around the house counts, anything to get your endorphins pumping again). Good luck! :)
