I am trying to kick Heroin for umpteenth time. I last took a shot of s***ty dope almost 36hrs ago. Started feeling like crap last night. Slept for maybe a couple hours. Tossed and turned and was generally uncomfortable. Took a whole 8mg sub this morning and now feel pretty much okay. I am planning on waiting as long as I can to take another dose of Suboxone. I am thinking I will only take like 2mgs the next time i feel the need. So, my plan is to use Subs to detox rapidly. I am thinking I can maybe take subs for only a very short amount of time to detox from the heroin. I am hoping to take them for not more than a few days. Has anyone else ever done this? Thanks.

i'm also on methadone daily through the methadone clinci, It's still a habit i have to have it everyday,now i'm on 84 mg. all i really want to let u know is don't give up if u want to be clean keep trying this i know u will reach your goal as long as u keep trying,it's hard the things that we do everyday ,to stay high. to stay well ,this is just as hard. but just don't give up...
I think they do use sub as a detox med. Take it for a couple of weeks, very small doses and then wean down from there and jump off.
My question is though, why the race? Sub gives you the ability to change your behaviors when it's done correctly. What do you plan to do after you stop the subs to stay clean?
So glad that you found us here and that you want to get clean.
