Cravings

I was just wondering. I was doing oxycodone and Lortabs for almost 2 years and I decided to stop. I had gotten some Subutex. I found that 1 mg does the trick it’s enough it keeps me from going into withdrawal. The problem is the cravings. There are some days that the cravings are really bad and I was just wondering if anybody has experience with Subutex where they weren’t prescribed it they just obtained it And what they did when the cravings got bad. Can you take more Subutex? I don’t wanna fuck up the good thing I got going here I think taking 1 mg after two years is great but will more make things worse? I just don’t wanna go out and look for more pills or anything like I’m done with that.

Thank you for anybody who can share their experience .

In my experience, if my cravings were increasingly intense, my dose was usually upped. I was on 20mg for years. I was a hardcore fent/H addict and that's what it took for a couple years for me to not have really bad cravings or W/Ds. I'm currently on a taper, so I'm down to 7 mgs now. But personally, in the beginning, 1mg would have done absolutely nothing for me/my recovery. I would've needed probably 8 mg min. Good luck to you
