Although he acknowledges it is difficult to taper off sub, he also states he believes tapering off your doc is more difficult or for many impossible. Most people simply can not taper off their doc, we are addicts after all. If you feel you can than you can give it a shot but it is still an opiate and will be no less difficult than tapering off sub. Most likely you will be more uncomfortable because of the short half life and much more intense withdrawl.
A proper sub taper can be done almost painlessly. If you slowly decrease your dose, listen to your body and taper low you should avoid a lot of suffering and have less chance or severity of paws. Before making your decision I urge you to read thru the stopping sub forum, we have many members who have successfuly gotten off sub. Please ask any other questions you may have and the best of luck to your recovery!
