| That is fantastic! I wish I could say the same. I did my homework(this forum) after 2plus years. I started for addiction only, taking doctor recommended 24 mgs a day, and I am a small person. I now take 16, and from following this forum and going to meetings, I am seeing the light and want to make the plan. I read the liquid dose, it works, huh? Its good to know that for the future. Again, congrats on educating yourself first, and it gives me new hope. Keep in touch! |
Yes the liquid is great. I kept trying to break an 8mg pill into 1/16 and I was really just taking gummers of Sub dust at that point. Now I dissolve 1/4 into 20Ml of water and that gives me .1mg/ml. It stays mixed and I can feel it pretty quickly. What was your dose of other opiates? I was on 8 mg the first day and it carried me over easily into my second day. That was when I realized I could get away with less. The doctors don’t want you weaning on your own, but depending on your previous drug of choice and dose you may be able to get by on less. My friend who introduced me to my sub doc was taking 20-30 10mg Norcos a day and she started at 32, then dropped almost immediately to 16 and a few weeks later to 8 which she stayed on for 6 months and just recently decided that since I was able to reduce so fast she would try too. She was on 2mg for about 3 months and then did a rapid taper for about a month and jumped off at 1mg. She had bad flu like symptoms for about a week then every day was better and is fine now after about three weeks. I think going down to a really small dose like .1mg is a better choice but to each their own.
Good luck!
