Hi sorry to take a while but since being off the subs I don't monitor these boarRAB so obsessively but I want to make sure I still can help. I don't know who told you to jump at 4mg but I would NOT recommend that. You will have a hard time. As for me, like I said, I really didn't have any...

I don't think the step down of dose is the prob, I think its the length of time between steps. Try and stay at two weeks per step, and don't skip doses til the end. Good luck dude

I never shot it but for me it was all about a slow methodical taper. I barely had any acute withdrawal problems what so ever, but we're talking about a year long taper. It doesn't have to be the worst thing you've ever experienced in your life. I had already experienced oxy contin withdrawal...

4mg is too high to start taking one every day if you want to avoid wRAB in my opinion. I think that's it. The skipping doses should be the last step of your taper, which is when you're down to crurabs. Skipping days at 4mg is needless torture because you're still way high, can't jump off from...

hi...i tried to kick suboxone at 2mg and had bad withdrawals and gave up. I have now been off of suboxone and all opiates for six weeks after a long taper. you don't seem to respond well to tapering, so good luck if you just jump off cold turkey. the real pain wont kick in until two or three...

Dude, the pharmaceutical companies are evil. They make an addiction substitute w the smallest dose being aproximately ten times a safe jump off dose. Ergo they don't want you to quit.they want you on subs for years or indefinitely. They are explicit abt this in the form of 'studies' suggesting...

Haynes, this is how I did it. I pasted it from another thread about tapering, which I did successfully about six months ago (still opiate free!). It's going to be trickier with 8mg, you may have to get a scrip for 2s because you really do get down tiny bits of the stuff. Good luck to you. I'd be...

Do not stop at such a high dose or you are going to have serious withdrawals. Good luck to you and keep me posted.

I am taking as little as possible every other day. I don't know what to expect. I've read some horror stories. It doesn't give me a kick and never has, it's not something that compells the addict in me to lie about, so I dont know if your wife would be bsing you about it, but one thing I've...

hi ... thanks for the reply. I've been reading your story with interest and empathy. I am almost out of my suboxone. I've been taking the trace amount (about an eight of a 2m [i crushed it and separated it into little paper seals...a trick from my using days].) I wait until I feel the pangs of...

hi mounty! I wonder if maybe you're getting w/d symptoms after just six hours is psychological. I suggest this b/c subs have a tremendous half life (48-72 hours). at a dose like 8mg, you should be able to go two days before you actually experience withdrawal from the drug. I dunno but you...

Need more info. Why is this happening? If your getting this reaction from reducing your dosage, you're prob reducing too fast.

I've been off of suboxone since Feb. I was on them for over two years. I was an oxy addict for a couple of years leading up to detox and subs. The trick to getting off is a slow taper. I honestly had next to no withdrawal because I spent most of my maintainence slowly tapering on a monthly...

I've weened down to less than an eight of a 2mg tab of suboxone every other day. I'm scared sh*tless that I'm going to get sick when I finally kick for good. I cant imagine stopping from 8mgs! Does anyone have any experience with getting off suboxone on such a trace amount. I hope its not like...

I hate our modern life. I'm 18 and am in high school. I remember being a kid and not having a clue about the ugliness of our society. As I grew, I came to understand all the ills that civilization brings, such as physical and psychological harm to humans. Also, the scarring of the Earth by...
