Hi i am looking for anyone that has sucessfully switched from a low dose of methadone to subxone for detox purposes only. I am down to 12 mg of methadone and have felt fine and still feel fine but from what i have read when you get down to 5 it becomes really hard so i was thinking about switching to subxone. I know when i was on 85 mg i missed the clinic one day and i had just started on methadone so didnt know much about it and i was really sick and had a subxone so i took it and within 15 min i was the sickest i have ever been in my life. It threw me into immediate withdrawl way worse then comin off dope. Just wondering if the case is the same when your on a lower dose. please write if you have any info.

One of our members wait2long she went from methadone onto sub ...Send her a PM she can give you alot of info . I think you have to be on a lower amount of methadone to switch over . She is super helpful ....... good luck ,post often.....

Yes...have seen some on here use sub for methadone withdrawal...talk to ur doctor for the amount of time u need to be off the methadone before u can start the suboxone...good luck
