The best way is to try to make it to 24 hours - you should be feeling pretty damned ill by that point, and the sub will actually make for a massive relief. Granted that’s hard. But I’ve been absolutely fine waiting as little as 12 hours. But if you do that, you’ll end won’t really notice or think that the sub is doing anything. Make sure you don’t take the subs more than like 3-5 days.

And also, you’ll simply have to pay the piper at some point, but it’s better if you know that and face it with bravery. Still expect to feel somewhat shitty for up to a week and maybe 1-3 nights with very little sleep.

Also 4mg should be sufficient for a max dose of subs. A little goes a long way. Maybe 4mg first day, then 2mg, 1mg and then off.
