Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Of course you know all the details like how long you have waited to start on suboxone since you stopped taking heroin, how much heroin you used to take, etc; are all factors that will influence your withdrawal as well.

But the best available option are the suboxone strips that are available, and the preferred dose is 8 mg. Also, the best time to take the strip (place under tongue) is early in the morning, and as you know it has to be taken once daily and not more.

I hope you do successfully wean off heroin, and then the suboxone as well and return to perfect health in no time. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
