Suboxone: been tapering from 2 mg for way too long - my fault - January was a bust. I stayed on 1mg all through the month and didn't taper at all. Now on day 3ish of .7mg (1/2 of 1/3 of a 2mg strip twice daily). I'm down to crumbs and still stuggle with the pain, but I AM back on my tapering schedule. Will go down to .5mg in a few days. I know some people jump at 2 etc. But I could NOT! My body is super sensitive and has been since I was a child. Ok, so that wasn't really a question....
Real question: on 2mg of xanax nightly (not prescribed) and 15 mg of paxil daily prescribed. Going to start a xanax taper - should have never got on it. Paxil is prescribed to me for anxiety and it helped A LOT with emotional control up until I started using (again) - the opiates. Then I started with the xanax to cope. Now I'm wondering if increasing my Paxil (just 1/2 a mg) would help to come off the xanax. Also, what are the withdrawal symptoms from xanax withdrawl?? And is there any other advice as to things that could help with this. I know I can't avoid WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS forever. I'm just now realizing they are inevitable - still trying to make them as easy as possible so I can keep working, going to school, acting and looking like a normal person, etc - you know what I mean. Hiding the truth from the ones who don't need to know...if I can.
Advice is appreciated.
