Bupe weening off suboxone with oxy?

Doesn't this just defeat the entire purpose of being on the suboxone? Where do you come up with shit like this?
 
This is all very confusing to me. OK, I'll start from the beginning since I don't want to start a new thread. Doesn't seem necessary since this one is already here. This involves 2 people, 2 completely diff stories (myself & my brother) We are both opiate addicts, he was lesser than myself.

His story, he was addicted to Vics, norco, and then started with oxy, although his length of use IS in his favor IMO, he used for a couple years, and not too heavily, when he was using oxy it was about 20-30mgs a day (which highly differs from my experience). He did what is again IMO one of the dumbest things anyone could have chosen to do, he was completely off all opiates for at least 30 days and then decided it would be a good idea to try some sub, evidently just to see what it was like. Curiosity killed the cat on this one, he was most definitely getting high off them for the first couple weeks, doses between 2mg and 8mg, he is now at 4mgs roughly (orally) and it's been about 90 days of this. We're both in agreement that he never should have taken sub in the first place, clearly it's too late, what's done is done, so now he asks me, should he just jump and c/t? Or should he continue to taper, at the very least down to 2mgs, and then slivers (I don't have much to work with here, since my tablets are 8/2 sublingual, which I've found to be next to impossible to break down into anything less than 1mg, unless it's just little pieces that have broken off. I think I'm correct in his case, wwyd? Keep tapering (MAX 2 weeks, because he never should have been on sub in the first place, it was recreational and turned into a habit), or cold turkey now and suck it up since it's only been around 90 days?


OK, my story, heavily addicted to oxy at the end of about a 6-7 year opiate addiction, started with Norco, and then you know the rest. Was doing the dumbest shit ever, snorting, smoking, etc. Yuck, the only thing I didn't do was IV. Then I met my wonderful (sarcasm) on July 9th 2009. He started me on 16mgs (WAY TOO MUCH, from what I know NOW...), I have gotten myself down to 6mgs daily over the past 2 years (almost 2 years now). So in my case, I want off this crap at this point, I really do believe it is doing me more harm than good, but I know I (should) am in for a long taper. If you were in my position wwyd? Would you take 2 months, 6 months, 1 year to taper? How long do you think I should taper (also down to what and how)? I'm just feeling stuck, unsure of the longevity of this, because I know that 2 years was way too long to take this. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful that I am finally clean, but now very afraid I'm never going to be myself, or at least for ANOTHER 2 years...

Any advice is appreciated, on both subjects. The short term sub user, and the long term sub user. Thanks in advance.

Also for the long term users... truths please... what AM I really in for? Is this worse than if I would have just gone c/t off Oxy's 2 years ago? I feel like I should have.... I KNOW everyone is different, just looking for opinions.
