I have a friend who just told me that his doctor switched him to 75mg of Sub from a 20mg a day oc habit. He was up to 3 80's a day, and she tapered him down to 20mg, then sent him to a PM doctor, who put him on 75mg of Sub day AND methadone. I'm not sure of the methadone dose, but from what I've read here, those two shouldn't be taken at the same time. I've learned a lot from you guys, and I informed my friend of the worse w/d from sub. He's only been on it a week, and the methadone for pain, and says he will throw the sub out. I don't understand why this doctor would switch him to a more addictive drug from the minimal oxys for pain, when he was doing just fine on the 20mgs a day.
Just so I can inform him, can anyone tell me if he will go through w/d from sub after only a week on them? Thank you for your info.
