Yeah, you're going to probably be uncomfortable for a while jumping off at that dose. I don't think you want to cold turkey at that dose, but it can be done. What are your options? Do you want off? Or just to get to the next appointment?

HI Buddy,  If you have the opportunity to see your doctor and get more suboxone, that would be your best option.  8 mg is much too high to stop suddenly.  suboxone is a very powerful opiate and must be tapered to avoid withdrawal.  Most people taper down to about 0.25 - 0.50 mg before stopping.  I quit taking suboxone from 2 mg and went through horrible withdrawal because I too ran out, but I went back on for another few years before finally going through a medically assited detox in June.  The withdrawal from 8 mg will be severe and will last weeks because of the long half life.  Please talk with your doctor for a good taper plan if you have that option.  Good luck.

What was the strength of your last dose? How long were you taking it? Why are you stopping?
