Default Subutex Question

I am now taking 120mg of methadone and 90mg of oxycodone ( for breaktrough pain) for pain due to 3 herniated discs. The medecene does very little for pain and my pain doctor says I have hit the cieling as far as meds go( I don't believe her but that is another story)My question is how much of my dosages do I have to lower in order to start recieving Subutex therapy?? I am terrible when it comes to withdrawl. I would have to take alot of time off work If I did do it. Can someone help me with this.
thank you
they call me three discs

SubT or SubO isn't really used much for chronic pain. I've read they want people to be in W/D for a day first. Good luck trying to get off Methadone, very few people are able to voluntarily.
