Withdrawals from Sub

Hey... Fladdict... you were on it for 10 days right?  How were the withdrawals for you?  How long did they last?

I'm really going to try to get off of it as soon as possible but I'm wondering what the diffrence is between the opiate withdrawals and the Sub withdrawals.  Like will I be able to function?
Is it worth going on it and then off almot right away?  I know it's probbly better used as a maintenance drug but I don't want to do that.
Fl, everyone has my email so if you could email me some of the research you've done or at least some websites you've found that are worth reading, that would be great.  I've googled etc and am finding crapola....

Happy Fourth Everyone!!

im been on it for a month and that was to long im on hr 90 of ct just because im trying to test the water and see if i can make a clean brake. i havnt heard one good story about sub so i suggest tapering right away and not being on it for more than 2 weeks. i dont fell any thing right now but a little restless legg but i am certain it cant be that easy and i have a feeling horror awaits but i have some back up. read around and youll see what i mean.

-good luck,bert.

The least amount of time to be on it the less of a chance of Wd's... I only had one day that was about 48 hours after stopping the Sub that I felt icky.. and it was only sweats/chills... was easy.. the longer you are on it the better chance your body will become dependent on the Sub.. I would say 3 weeks is the longest I would recomend..
As well as the lowest dose per day to keep you feeling normal and out of Wd;s is best... this stuff builds up due to the half life.. when people were surveyed it seemed higher doses didn't make them feel any better.. it just provides more of a blocking affect and makes it last in your body longer..
I will email you some stuff later when I have more time..just popped on for a sec.

How affordable is sub? My question is what were you taking before sub?Ihear sub is easier to come off of then methadone.So Is it worth the switch? Maybe get through the meth withdrawals, and not get addicted to bup.Is this possible?? I need help for myself also .Thanks RLJ
