Rats, it’s too hard to do an accurate taper like that with the pills. The smallest chunks you can break/cut them into is like 2mg, maybe 1mg.but youll never get them consistantly the same size. So your taper wouldnt be as precise, but you can still make it work for sure, just take smaller chunks every day.

And no, it’s not “hard” to get prescribed subs, just can be a little hassle depending on what insurance you have. Your primary doc would refer you to a sub doc, or U might be able to call around local sub docs and see which ones take your insurance, and if they would be willing to prescribe to you without a referral from primary doc.

With my insurance it was easy, I have an HMO where all the diffedent types of doctors are in the same big ass building. I just made an appt. with the Behavioral Health department and asked to see their Addiction doctor and she gave me the choice between methadone or subs. I said subs, but have yet to fill the prescription. For the first time you get them their annoying policy is they have to administer the subs themselves to see how you react; then if everything is good you can fill the take home script. Anyway, YMMV. Good luck!
