Hey Michelle,

I agree with avisg, leave the Percs. behind.   I have good news and bad news for you......The good news is that the volume of your Suboxone Dependency is not high.  The bad news is that you can be sick up to 5-6 weeks getting off Sub.   It's the gift that keeps giving.  I was, and on a larger amount than you..... I'm now clean after going through HELL.

If you really want this,  You can do it..............

We are here to support you.

Best,

WM

plz do not do it that way taper all of the way off the sub the right way. If you use percs to get off sub you are just continuing the addictive cycle and you dont want to do that .
