i need info on Sub rapid taper

I am back on the sub after taking a vacation with fentanyl and OC and oxymorphone and whatever else I could get my hands on. This is day 1 on the sub, I had to take 12 mgs today to fEel ok. I don't want to be on this for too long so I'm looking for advice in the dosages for a rapid taper. Maybe 2 weeks or less. I would just detox from the opiates but life doesn't allow it right now. Gotta do the sub.

There is nothing wrong with looking into a faster taper but we are not doctors. Yes there are some sub doctors that are in it for the money and others that are in it to help others  .I would research find a good one that also provides or helps you line up recoverycare .We would be doing a member a disservice giving them a sub taper plan that we made up for them with drugs they had NOT gotten from a quilified sub doctor.

It sounds like you folks haven't dealt with sub dr before. Around here there are only a few. They have no interest in the quick taper because that's not paying their bills. Sub dr wants to keep one in it for as long as possible, that's why they are the worst to discuss it with. I thought I could find some help here but I guess I was mistaken.

If you actually want Sub to work you need to find a Sub doctor, take the drug legally, come up with a plan that includes aftercare, and get into recovery.

I don't have a Dr plus they don't listen or know anything about the drug. Dr just wants you to keep coming back for that check. Trust me on that one.
