Hey, Johndee

How long did it take you to come clean after you started using sub.? Is the withdrawls from it about the same as painkillers?
No, they were very mild compared to withdrawing from the perks. I took the sub for less than two weeks. The doctor started me on 16mg a day and that was way too much for me so I lowered to 8mg. From there I agressively tapered because I wanted off.
The doctor said the lowest he had anyone get off the sub was 8 days, most he said take about 6 weeks, it all depends on your body.
I felt justa little achy and tired when I quit the sub, that was about it.

Good luck in your decision
