i have been on heroin for 10 days, shooting about $100-150 a day. I have 30 suboxone 8, how do I do this? I have 4 bags of "H" left, do I finish the H tomorrow or taper of the H and slowly start the sub?
Hey bud,
Methadone and Suboxone are two completely different animals!
Methadone w/d's are more intense but the worst is over in about a week.
Suboxone w/d's are less intense and very different but tend to last longer. Ive dealt with the w/d's from both and neither are pleasant, but my personal experience I would take sub wd's over methadone any day.
My wd's with methadone we absolutelly debilitating. Nausea vomiting, couldnt get out of bed except when I was running to vomit. Bad stuff
My wd's that ive experienced with sub seem to be more mood oriented than physical. Edgy, irritable, just a real out Bi***. The only physicals I get are stomach discomfort, sleeplessness, and a feeling like you have bugs under your skin.... but you get all that with methadone too!
Its a very personal choice my friend! I also must disclaim that my sub wd's are simply from dropping doses or running out of meds between appts. Not from coming completely off. Im planning a total detox in the next few weeks.
Also, this is a pretty old post so you may not get any replies. Start a new thread and theres a whole world of great people on here that will help you!

Ive been on heroin for 6 months, bout a hundred dollar a day habit. Trying to stop. Had a very little dose early this morning at 9am, by lunch started withdrawing, cramps, sweats, diarrhea, ect... took 30mg of methadone at 8pm and it kicked in by 9. I feel great now. My question is Will I eventually withdrawl from the Methadone? If so, Is it bad like the heroine withdrawls? IShould I switch to suboxone in a few days? Which is better to take when getting off heroin, suboxone or methadone? Please post and let me know what to expect. I need help.Thanks

I was just doing a little more research when I came to read your post about only needed Sub 4 only 9 days. Wow. I thinkI will try that. I first got my phx in late April. I relapsed so much that i saved a lot of my Sub. (238)that I really never gave myself a full week. I was/ am taking 80mg. of oxy about 2-3 X's a day. I know I need to get off of this SH*&, but I want to try what you did. How did you exactly get off Sub for 9 days.
The way you know your stuff intreges me.
