Hi hendrickj82 and welcome to the forum. Although your situation as presented to us isn’t exactly typical, I do agree that you could benefit from sub treatment. You would need to be on a lower dose, I agree with that, too. However, if I’m recalling Dr. Junig’s writings correctly, you’d still need to be maintained around or above the ceiling – 4 mg to keep the opiate receptors completely saturated. It will take a few days to adjust, but it should not take any longer than that (again, per Junig). But don’t worry to much about dosing at this time.

For now you can give sub a try, see how you do on it, then re-assess. Good luck and do let us know about your appointment.
