not really a question

my question was is their withdrawal from saboxon, however i read a few comments and mostly answered my question.  i was struggling with drugs like heroin and roxacets.  i have recently been off of them for about 3 weeks with the help of saboxon.  so about 4 days off the saboxon.  i feel like !@%%.  i quess that feeling tierd and aches is going to be for a while.  i have been pushing everyday.  and i have to keep pushing.  i have a family and it really is not a option to go back wards.  i believe now suffering a little has to happen to see the good things in life.  anyone going through the same thing keep on moving past all of it.  we got high and now these are the consiquences.  its way better than live in the insanity of drugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The withdrawal depends on a few factors.. How long you took it. How much you were taking. And how fast you tapered.  Longer term use produces more likely dependence on it. Higher doses also.  Tapering too fast or not tapering down far enough can also inpact withdrawals.

I detoxed with suboxone, I was doing about 40 to 50 norcos 10/325 a day..

And my doctor started me with 12mg of suboxone for 1 weeks, than 8mgs, than 6mg and so forth, so I finally went down to 1mg a day and than 1mg every other day, so I had no w/d from the suboxone and it was great.  Because I did it this way I was not tempted to pick up a pill and I also had time to deal with the mental detox...

So I am wondering did you detow on suboxone with a doctor or by yourself?
