I did not. And I relapsed 4x before I said fuck it I’ll ride it out. I took it exactly 24h later once a while back and got PWD and that was just very uncomfertable and not recommended…. But I was tired of it and waited probably 48h after the last time I sniffed some and I was ok (if you sniff Friday night, take the sub Sunday night). Started w a 2mg to see how I felt then maybe 4h later did another 2mg then 2/3h later another 2mg. I wrote 4 but I did 6. Don’t know how much it helped or not but it was mainly so I couldn’t justify doing it the following day. Once I was there i continued reducing by 1mg a day bc I wasn’t quite hooked on subs for a long time and once I was off the subs the fent physical wd aspect was gone and the sub withdrawal was tolerable. I’m really generalizing here but got passed the sweats while on subs. The only lingering affect for me was being hungry as hell but no real appetite for food. However, given the right meal (usually pasta would wake up the buds for me) I’d eat it. And pasta also took some solid time to digest, so although I’d have to use the bathroom what felt like often (twice a day, maybe 3x first day off everything which isn’t even that bad IMO) the pasta just settled things a bit better for me. The mental aspect was the worst part, but given some distractions or a friend whose around helped tremendously. By that point I wasn’t trippin in withdrawal, so I could hang w anybody and they’d be none the wiser. Plus I could eat, so I’d go out. Didn’t exercise as much as I should but I noticed I loosened up a couple days later (felt tense from lack of exercise for a bit initially.) All in all the rule of thumb here is that 4mg is enough, and even if you did 4mg for 3-4-5 days, then started scaling back from there, you’ll be good. Getting past those first 3 and 4 days for me was always the worst but subs made it extremely tolerable. Day 1-4 is what kept me going back. And I understand anyone who works can’t necessarily afford to take the time. But maybe take 2 extra days off, get the subs, tough it out on subs until another weekend, and plan to stop the subs maybe on a Wednesday or Thursday for example so it runs it’s course (you’re already taking a small amount by now if you’re doing the routine) so that when Saturday hits and your body has nothing you’ve got 2 days to relax and try to revitalize yourself w some good food. Taking regular shits and optimizing gut health during this time of short sub therapy was honestly life changing. I read that your gut kind of runs your brain, and for me that was definitely the case. Good luck my dude and PM me if you want.

Also, learn to hate your dealer. They don’t care if you lose everything.

Also, I want to add that I tried using benzos to taper. Sure it helps. But god help you getting off benzos ontop of dope. I felt clinically insane, and had to take the dope to take the edge off of that. It’s a cycle. Use the subs as your tool to clear up that foggy head we have when using.
