Sub 4 a week.

Hi there... I've been on sub for almost six years now. I've been at 3ml for about the past year. I didn't think much of taking sub... thought that it was definitely better than taking 10-15 750ml vicodine a day. I just ran across this website the other day because I'm taking chantix to quit smoking and was wondering if the chantix will even work for me since I'm on the sub. Since being on this site, I've run across some terrible posts about sub withdrawl. I really had no idea that it was so addictive. I figured that I would taper myself down to 1ml and than just quit but from what I'm reading, it doesn't matter how much you decrease... when you completely stop, it's a nightmare and it takes a month or longer to feel "normal" again. I just decreased to 2ml today and so far I feel fine. In the past, I've decreased very slowly... 1 ml at a time and I would wait sometimes three months before decreasing again allowing my body to get used to it. This time though, I'm only going to wait a week or so. If I were you, I would decrease maybe every week. From my experience, you shouldn't expect much of a difference in the way that you feel from 5ml to 4ml to 3ml. I'd be more concerned about quitting completely. From what I've read though, there's things that can help you through it... an herbal detox and some people even use opiates in small amounts to help them out with the withdrawls. If you're seeing a doctor, I would deifnitely talk to him about it. Good luck! Peace & light.
