You might need an increase, but I will say that cravings are not just related to physical reasons. Its still possible to get cravings on Sub. I remember when I first started my taper almost a year ago, I went from 7 to 6. That small drop in dose for whatever reason lit some kind of fire inside me. It was the first time in a long time that I had craved using opiates… when I first got sober I had the odd alcohol or even odder cocaine craving but not opiates. I remember actually forcing myself to go to a damn 12 step meeting, which made things worse but it got me out of the house and I started focusing on slightly different things.

I have also noticed that I tend to gamble a bit more during my first few days of dosage drops, but I am so stingy that I never bet more than 10 bucks on a game, so its not an issue for me.
