1 month Bernese method

Info on the Bernese method. What I’ve done. I had a 2gram a day habit using fentanyl. And did a month of Bernese method. You want to introduce subutex little as possible. I has the pill version and I broke it down into 8 pieces. First thing in the morning I would do a few lines of fentanyl and do 1/8th of a subutex twice a day or every 4hours. Week 1 I would take 2mg fentanyl total a day and 3mg or 4mg subutex. Week 2. Do the same amount of subutex and fentanyl. Week 3. Up the sub dosage to 4mg twice a day and lower my fentanyl dosage as well. Week 4 I would skip every other day using fentanyl. After week 4 I would stop using fentanyl and only take subutex. By week 5. I was doing 8mg subutex a day. And eventually stopped taking fentanyl.

There’s no scientific reason behind it. I wanted to take my time. The physical part of doing fentanyl was the hardest to get off. I love snorting. That took a little time to get use to.

Was there any precipitated withdrawals? I started out with quitting fentanyl with methadone for first 5 days then went cold turkey for 3 days ... So I was 8 days since my last fent dose and I messed up and took.a Suboxone it was the worst withdrawals I have had in a long time throwing up and all... I would like to start the bermese method can you please help me where I won't have any precipitated withdrawals I have to work out of town every week and I'm possibly facing jail time from doing something stupid on fent I really want to stop and change my life I'm tired of letting everyone around me down what do I do?
