sub taper update

So to sum up my situation for those that need it. Been taking sub's since Jan. Worked my way up to 8mg a day. This past Friday may 15 took last 8mg. (I break them up so was dosing 4 times a day equaling 8mg)
After reading that jumping from 8mg might be insane I decided to try a taper. Since my source was out until Tues I was left with nothing. I felt pretty good not good Saturday.  Sun a lot if anxiety, Mon same but creepy crawly feeling too. Tues got 2 more pills, which I hate compared to strips. Really hard to break up.
Took about 3/4 pill Tues took about same Wed. Took remaining I guess roughly half today.
I got more pills to continue tapering. Not taking anymore today. Plan is to take half a pill tomorrow and Sat. Skip sun. Quarter Mon and turs. Skip wed quarter thyrs. Skip Fri. Quarter sat and then wait for the fun. I know its a quick taper but I'm so ready to be done with this crap. I've fed been WD. Feelings are surfacing big time. That's about all I have for now. Felt like a ramblehere, lol
