well i dont know if this will help but i started lortab at the age of 14 for back issues and i am now 23. i got some suboxone from a friend and started to abuse that. so i ended up getting 2 more pills and 1/4ing thm up. and taking a 1/4 a day. now before that i was taking 2-3 a day. sometimes more. which was a dumb thing to do..for me anyway. well the 1/4 pills lasted me 8 days and now im 8 days clean and feeling great! hope i helped
once you are in moderate withdrawals I would start off at 4 mgs per day. If needed move up to 8 mgs but def, start seeign a doctor for it because it wont work getting it from a friend or illegitimetely. aftercare treatment is huge i cannot stress that enough, but if neccessary you can safely go up to 32 mgs,after that the antagonist effects of biprenorphine(sub) start to come out and act more like a anti-opiate, actually bringing out withdrawals instead of getting rid of them.
i got it from a friend and i am 8 days clean after being on lortabs from the age of 14 to 23. but hey thats just me. i must be one in a million? hmmm
Thank you for your comments. I think Avik7 has a positive attitude about the way she did her suboxone and that is what I am looking at. I would think christos that even 8 milligrams might be too much for the dosage i am taking. I am going to try 2 milligrams in the morning and 2 at night, and if that is too much then I will go down to 1 milligram. No possible way would I even think of 16 or 32 milligrams. Im hoping Avik7 that my situation turns out like yours. Then I could be that 2 in a million. Zeuss
some even go as low as 1mg daily or twice a day if needed...i posted a chart for comparisons of doses in my journal....a doctor's supervision is best but it does seem that they go for the really high doses verses small in most cases...from what i read on here people seem to get dosed too high...1-2 mg daily or twice daily may hold u that dose....the lowest dose for the shortest time is best with sub
Well if u have any questions let me know
Keep in mind that sub is a lot stronger at lower doses than high. Its not that at 32mgs it is more antagonistic, but it has a ceiling effect, and the antagonistic properties are no more at 32mgs than at 1,000mgs.
I would try 1mg and see how that goes. It will not make your detox painless, but will make it much more bearable. Since you are using sub as a detox tool, you dont have to worry about it "Holding" you, just taking the edge off.
Best of luck man, and the lower dose, the easier this mess will be.

Thanks so much. Yes, less is better and I am going to try and do 1 miiligram at a time, twice a day for ten days max. And after a few days if I can go to 1/2 milligram, then so much the better. I just want to minimize the WDS, and eventually there will be enough of us with success stories as the few that are going on now and have been that everyone here might have created our own Sub Wd program. Thanks Zeuss
