Suboxone-Subutex or Methadone! What is easier to tapper?

by DrewBoy7, Jun 14, 2009 06:37PM
As alot of you know that im currently on Subutex and I only got enough for 3 days witch was 9 but i have been tapering off slowly each day cause tomarrow I have to get back on suboxene cause my insurance will only give me 9 a month! So my sub cordinator called me in the other 11 to get me threw till my next app. on thursday! Now I cant get Subutex which i have already started to taper off of and i have to go back to suboxone so I dont relapse!  My Doc wants me to start methadone very light cause I told him that the most I want to start on is 10mg he said 30mgs! No dont need that much! He already started me off @ 8mgs 3 times a day which was to much so I controlled it myself!  I also have takin methadone for my w/d's in the past from the OC's! It was always 10mg 2 times a day! Once in the morning and once @ night! I have never exsperianced w/d's from methadone cause I only took it to stop being dope sick untill i  found more OC's or perc's sometimes Vik's but needed to take 8-10 to even get high! So I was woundering if ANYONE has been one both sub's and meth in there life and know if its easier to get off methadone small dose than sub large dose?
