Difficult but Doable: You need three days between stopping the Methadone and even starting the Suboxone or you will cause a withdrawal when you start the suboxone. There are some tricks to shorten it but they are complicated for this venue. Once you start Suboxone you will probably be on it for over a year considering your 14 years of dependence.
