GETTING OFF SUBOXONE

I Am currently taking 1 8mg tablet a day the Dr. i have i do not have much faith in. She scares me and keeps pushing all kinds of new meds. She thinks all addicts are Bipolar which im not and she is set in her ways. I am afraid to ask her to taper me because of all the other drugs she may put me on.
Lithium, risperadal adderrall those are just the ones i can remember...unless i can find a new Dr.  i am afraid i may have to taper off myself

We are in the same boat.  I don't really like my doc and she believes in long term use of the sub.  I think I may have to taper myself also. I have only been on it a couple of weeks, but have started to taper.  Your doctor sounds pretty scary , giving you all those pills.  I can't afford to go to another sub doctor and there aren't many around.  Keep me posted.   Mary

look for another sub doctor that can help you with this...dont do it alone, you might set yourself up for failure or relapse...but i would have to agree about a new doctor...she should be listening to you, this is your life and your treatment...do you know how to find another doctor in your area..?  i sent you a private message...
