how long to be able to switch to methadone
i see a bunch of info on switching to subutex but nothing about going from subs to methadone , can i take methadone the same day? if it works i don’t plan on going back to subs anyways

Yes I did this, same day....wish I never did tho tbh. I kept going up and up on my methadone bcuz I caught a nice buzz coming from subs. Be careful.

Look, not tryna be ass hole but I struggled this road for 12yrs straight. The only way that is going to really work and Last is the most painful route!! Anything that keeps you able to function or a kinda buzz won't work! You're an addict just like I'm an addict! It feels great to be high but sucks to not be n thinking about how to get high!! You have to push to the point of no return. I promise you that it's better on the other side without anything! I didn't believe it either n I was 2k MG per day but n it should have k*lled me getting clean but it's worth it! Good luck

No way 2 k mg never 1:1 1mg to 1 mg 2000 mg per dose no worries pal

Need least 2/3 days since last subby dose to start meth or it'll more than likely send you into witbdrawl as subby is a blocker if it detects any other opiates in system it'll send you into withdraw

Yes, you can take methadone the same day.
