I am 28 years old and was using heroin since I was 22 years old almost on the daily... I almost died in 2013 from 2 of the worst blood infections someone can get cause I was injecting the H... I got a staff infection and can't remember the other one... Now that I look back I got prescribed 12 mg suboxones at one a day and I know that the W/D from subs is worse then an opiete W/D.. So I took a full strip for the first 2 days and then would take a half of one and then a quater of one a day eventually...mind u I only had 21 of them because of some insurance issues I could only go to the first appointment at the clinic where I went to get them.. So with those 21 12mg subs I was able to get off opietes H and subs without any W/D's the only thing I had issues with was the mental part of not wanting to use anymore and it wasn't that I almost died that caused me to stop it was the fact that I didn't care if I died and that it didn't scare me and I have 2 beautiful sons and 2 amazing step daughters and an amazing supportive husband who I couldn't imagine leaving... Hope this helps and if u need help understanding how I weined down off of the subs by myself feel free to reply and ask...
