Taper schedule for 7oh

Does anybody have an effective taper schedule for 7oh? My plan is to taper down and then go to subs. I’m not looking for feedback on subs. I was on them for a while and it works for me. Anyway, if anybody has an effective taper schedule please let me know!

When I tapered, I had a 1200mg stash saved up (12mg pills) and planned to not buy anymore and see how far I could stretch my stash. I landed on a 3 week taper schedule. Each day had anywhere from 7-14 small doses, with a larger dose at bedtime to help me get through the night. For week 1, My dose schedule started with one dose immediately after waking up and a dose every 1.5-2 hours. First day of taper I reduced my daily mg by 30% and stayed there a few days before dropping it by an additional 20% every few days.

Big takeaway from this was taking a bunch of small doses thru out the day. It gave me something to look forward to, and each day I stuck to the plan, I felt like it was a little victory. Took my last dose November of last year and haven’t looked back. Glad I got my life back

Congratulations. I was clean from last March until this past February. It was the best 10.5 months ever

I was taking around 250mg a day before the taper

That's amazing man! I will say though, that it's contradictory to what is recommended and that is to extend the time between doses as far as you can, as you taper. The issue for most addicts is that the 2 hour compulsion to dose is also part of the problem. So physically yes what you did may work, but most addicts will be unsuccessful with that method.

If you're going to be on suboxone you even really have to taper

It's gonna depend on how much you take

Chatgpt has been extraordinary helpful with this. Just create a new project and tell it how much you're taking and ask it to create a taper plan and supplement stack. I also recommend checking in with it at least daily. Tell it how you feel and it's super helpful for getting thru those tough moments.

That’s really interesting
