I was on suboxone 13 months its a very hard w/d and prolonged no energy for a month. I would recommend trying to continue tapering or detoxing with the meth. Ive never been on meth. so i cant compare the 2 but sub takes a long time to taper its a very sneaky drug it helped me get my life back but then it acted like it owned me. If you want to talk or ask more ?s bout sub let me know GOOD LUCK
