Well today is a 1mg all day day. So I cut a 8mg Sub. into halfs, then cut a half into twos, then cut a two into 1. (Not as easy as it writes.) Then I cut the 1 into 1/2 at about noon took it. So far mild aches and head a bit foggy and my hearing has been ringing since the start 5 days ago. I will take the 1/2 mg at bedtime. Since Sub. stays in the body at a 1/2 life for around 36 hours won't really know until Sunday or Monday.
     For those who have not been keeping score (shame on you) I started this 5 days ago. I was ingesting around 250-300mg Oxy. a day for about a year. Cut back on my own to 40mg of oxy. a day and hit a brick wall (my doc. told me that people often hit a wall at about 40mg) and watched my consumption begin to climb. I thought no good no good. So I researched Sub. and found a 5 day rapid detox program. I started Sub. at 6mg twice (I now think I should have started at 4mg.) the first day and cut down each day to where I am at now.
     I think taking Sub. for more then 5-6 days leaves you open to depending on Sub. We will see. Maybe only 3-4 days on Sub is better, just to get over the worst of detox.
     A little side note here. I have enough Oxy, and Codine left in case...of                      ? (:)

Well its weird to read the almost exact senario that I am in right now. I did my sub a little different because this is not my first experience with it and yes about 6 months ago I traded the oxy habit for the sub. So this time around I am getting off the sub as soon as possible. I am on day 5 and took my last dose of about 1 milgram an hour ago. I had a 40-80 mil oxy vice for a long time and before the oxys it was percs. I got off the pills 6 months ago but could not shake the suboxone, the only way I could still make money for my family and win my life back was to get back on the pills for 6 weeks to get the sub out of my system and do the rapid detox this time around. The less time you take the sub the better but anything over a week and you will have a very difficult time getting off the sub,( I found it almost impossible) Now here I am ready to get off everything and I am thinking it cant be this easy. I will keep my fingers crossed that not taking the sub is not going to make me feel horrible!
