Suboxone

[gottilee]

I tried posting to a Dr but it disappeared so I will try again. I was on 120-150mgs of percocect dailey for 5 years due to degenerative hip disease and herniated disks in my back. I recently felt it has gotten out of control and want to stop. I went to detox in August spent 6 days there with methodone treatment but left feeling just as sick so started percs again. Sun I started suboxone 20mg Mon I took 16mg Tues 14mg and Wed 8mg. Today I am going for 4-6mg then Fri 2-4 and hopefully nothing this weekend as I am off work and can go through some wds. I am wondering how bad it will be and is this acceptable taper process. My dr. wants to keep me on subs for a few months but I have heard horror stories about wds after a couple months of subs so want to get it over with in a week. So is it also safe to this as well? Thanks for your time I appreciate it.
