Suboxene WD and tapering off...

[28MrGreen]

Hi, I just started my tapering off today of suboxene, I have been using it since march 7th everyday about 4mg.  I know I am addicted, the WD's are INSANE!  So,  I have about 10 - 8mg suboxene strips left, today I started by taking 2mg in the morning, and I will continue to lower the dosage everyday and see how low i can get it to before I start to feel WD.  My appetite is low, today I had a bowl of cereal in the morning, and thats it.  I will try to stay hydrated.  What are some good things to have around while having WD?  What are some good things to try to do? I also ordered "withdrawl-ease" from the internet, so, hopefully that helps.  But, until it gets here I am not going to lower my dosage too much, but I am going to run out sooner or later, idk.. i am just worried about this very much, and I need all the support I can get.  God bless everyone.

Hello,
Just thought i would check in with you and let you know how I am doing.  Today I lower my dosage from 8mg a day to 6mg... I will be on 6mg for the next 3 days, then I am going down to 4mg for 6 days, then 2mg for 8 days, then 1mg for 8 days... after that, I am hoping my sis gets some more subs so I am able to continue to taper off with micro doses(.5,.25..etc.)
This morning I got out of bed at about 5:30am and I felt horrible, I threw up violently, my pupils were dialated, feeling anxiety, right after I was done throwing up, I took my 4mg strip of sub, 1mg of xanex.... I started to feel better around 8:00am. infact, for a moment, I felt fantastic, but then about 30 minutes went by and I was having the sweats again.  I am feeling ok now, I havn't taken my other 2mg for the day yet, I think I will wait until about 5:00pm.  I made sure that I ate this morning(2 bowls of cereal), also took vitamins.  Well, that's all for now, thank you for  you support. God bless

Hi Chris, thanks for the advice :) .  I have a taper plan that I am going to abide by week 1 - 8mg a day, week 2 - 2mg less.. etc. until i get down to smaller doses like .5 and smaller, it's going to be a slow taper.  thanks for your support, I will keep you updated on my status.  Also, it's nice to meet you.
