Kinda worried about getting off suboxone. Could use some advice.

Hello, I was addicted to percs for 10 years, I finally went to rehab, and was there for a month. When I got out I felt fine. I was clean for 8 months and I screwed up and used again. I stopped again and just started taking subs which I was getting off the street or someone I knew who had them. I don't take much at all, I'm taking 1mg a day at most. I guess my question is, if I quit cold turkey how long would I feel the withdrawals for?

You ask a great question Shelby, I'm kinda in the same boat. I've been taking perks for about 7 years daily 100-200mg. Had a friend give me sub strips and took 4mg a day. Without realizing exactly what burb is. Now that I understand what the he$$ it is, I've cut back as well. This is something I definitely don't need in life. I'm hoping to within the week I can or I'm going to get down to .5 a drop it all together. Although I'm not feeling to aweful bad, I just lack motivation. Godspeed brother, hope some answers questions for us...

I'm guessing this shouldn't be an issue whatsoever. I'm only guessing! Cut back to .5 a couple weeks . Unless there are other issues you should be fine
