I have been tapering from Suboxone, which I got on about 8 weeks ago (when I got off Opana ER).
I started getting pretty bad panic attacks at home, which were similar to ones I experienced when
tapering from Opana ER. Fortunantly, I was able to go inpatient and have gone from 16 mg to 2 mg (each day) of Suboxone. This took 7 days, which I know is pretty fast. I am doing pretty well most of the time (thanks to the comfort meds).
Do you think this doctor's plan seems too fast for the remainder of this taper? Today and tomorrow, I am to take 2 mgs (1 mg around 6 am; the second mg. around 3 pm). Then, I jump off of all suboxone, and am discharged from the hospital to a therapy program for a week. This will help me get better prepared for returning home (Also during that time I will be tapering off the Ativan pills that are helping with detox. Would you be ready to jump off Suboxone at 2 mg for 2 days? What should I expect being that I was on Subs for about 2 months, but was on a strong Opiate just before getting on them.
Thanks so much,
Marie
