2 days without subutex

Here I sit, wide awake at 1:30 a.m. I did a 21 day subutex taper after 100-200mg. methadone a day. I started feeling some withdrawal the first day I stopped the subs. I would suggest a longer taper in hind sight. 20/20 right? I still feel as mentally prepared as before, but physically I'm sick. With the long half life of the dupe, anybody think I'm having withdrawal from the methadone? Last methadone was 30 days ago and last sub 2 days ago.

That's what I thought, but the sick hit me right away. I have a fast metabolism and do a lot of physical work and saunas, hopefully it will end as fast as it came, but I'm ready for anything but more methadone.

I doubt it. More likely you're feeling the effects of stopping Sub too quickly.
