years of subutex treatment help ?

[dizzy83]

Hi i'm form uk i'm 26 and i've been on subutex now for 6years , i don't use herion on top and i'm also on valium and zopiclone due to mental illness reasons.

I would like some help of people who've been on subutex for a long period and i'd like to get some feedback on how best to come off subutex/subxone once and for all

thankyou all , i'm scared after what i've read on here on this subject

love dizzy xx

When it comes to suboxone/subutex it seems the lower the dose you can get down to before quitting does help lessen the w/d's to a degree. I personally was on sub for 5months, started at 8mgs and tapered down to about .25mgs, just a tiny little crumb before I jumped. Although it wasnt easy by any stretch, I didnt find it quite as hard as coming off methadone or oxycontin. The worst part about the process for me was the mental aspects, mainly not being able to sleep for about 4days was the worst part. So my experience is a big difference in the amount of time I was on sub, but I still say the lower you can get before quitting should only help matters. I did have all the main physical symptoms of opiate w/d, except that I never vomited at all. Stick around and post some more, there are some people that have more experience when it comes to long term sub use that is more comparable to yours. Best of luck to you, take care.

slow taper; I know someone who was on it for seven years. He just slowly tapered down and has been off it for 8 months doing great. You should talk to your doctor about reducing your dosage every few weeks. You can do it just take it slow.
