Still trying. ๐
Dependency, reverse engineering, or heroin?
It's heroin isn't it. ๐
But in all seriousness and to actually add to the topics discussion, Suboxone and methadone are the 2 options. Suboxone for a quick taper. Quick tapers don't usually last for addicts, unless you can build stability (unlikely, addicts are often addicts because they're unhappy from a period of instability, or mental illness which is worsened by instability...) by the time you are done with your taper. But methadone has changed my life. Although I'm still on it, so technically I'm still on an opioid, but at least I can be productive and have periods of stability.
