I never even got offered substitutes, I was habitually taking several substances and the addiction help offered where I live basically said they wouldn't give me anything unless I could quit everything except heroin. Ended up doing it Trainspotting style at my mother's house. Glad they work for you though. Is your plan to stay on them indefinitely or to try and get off them entirely?

Ah that’s a shame. The government run addiction clinic here in QLD Australia is brilliant and are even doing a clinical trial right now for mirtazipine as a meth addiction treatment which is super neat. Not sure! I might come off it in the future, but it does have some upsides, costs me nothing, and keeps me on the straight and narrow. Playing it by ear basically, I just bought my first home which is quite exciting :) so maybe in the future I’ll come off it, which is a lot easier to do from the injection than it is the sublingual strips or tablets
