Does your doctor have you on Sub? If so, he should wean or taper you off. If on Sub long enough there will be w/d from it. Not as bad, but you will expereicne w/d. Try to taper yourself to as little as possible if you are not under medical care. Good luck..

Yes, ME>..lol...I tried to quit Oxy's one year ago with Suboxone and I just up and quit c/t cause I had no pills left. I was taking about a quarter of a pill every day and still had bad w/d. I couldn't sleep and had the chills all day. I had bad rls at night. But I also was only on it for like two weeks...I didn't taper at all.

I am pretty sure if you taper, you will be ok. Maybe small w/d but nothing u cant handle. WHy not let yourself taper...in the end, it will be better for you. At least your not taking any sort of pills or anything..Sub is dr. perscribed...

Hope it goes well..Good luck,,
