Does anyone have experience with the transfer from methadone to bupe? I've read that I have to get down into the 30-40mg/day range first, & I've also read that it precipitates w/drawal unless you are 2 weeks off 'done. I've kicked from 140/day, and it lasted 4 weeks(!). I'm at 200/d now. I have a doctor who'll prescribe the bupe. Can I wait until I'm a week sick from 200 and then switch? Would SWIM be better off switching back to dope, then doing the traditional 12 day kick? Please help---
