gray74 Hi, whoever said that taking suboxone instead of what you were taking is totally correct. You are trading one addiction for another. I am on day 15 off of suboxone and am still suffering from terrible withdrawl. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. I don't know what the answer is except to taper down what you are on and then stop. If you are put on suboxone you will have to do it anyway and it is absolutely terrible. Any other questions just send me a post. I also agree don't do anything on your own and talk to you doctor, but....if he suggest suboxone read up on these boarRAB very carefully. Don't do it. I am not trying to scare you I am just trying to tell you what a state I am in at this moment and this is a lot better than it was when I started out. Take care. Lyn in Michigan
