omg so i am back trying to jump

I am 90 something days clean now and trying to get off the sub. Any advice? I have a choice going back to doctor in about 4 days and getting more to continue the long slow drawn out process of weining or just jumping off from 2mg a day...... I just want this over with, I still think it changed my life buttttttttt this is painfully sweaty and I cant drip any more! Just want to jump and deal with the feeling of death staring me in the face and get it over with once and for all............ any advice?

OK that is what I am doing I went down to 2mg as you know from 4 yesterday morning well day before yesterday since I had 4 and so far I am completely fine scared but thats all. I do know it takes a few days to kick in though the taper from the long long half life so I am expecting maybe tommorrow it to get bad but oh well I am going back and doing the long taper but atleast I am not depressed any more that I have been saying it for 4 months and not doing it because now I really am doing it only 2 mg a day. I do throw up every time I brush my teeth today though and last night because natious but I really am usually a trooper about this stuff......

I would probably quickly taper down to 1 mg or even .5 mgs.  you can cut the 2 mgs in half with a razor, only stay on 1 or .5 for a week or 2 and then jump.  I am 12 days off 1mg and have experienced some intense wd up to this very day so I wish you the best of luck.  90 days is great and I hope that you will taper and kick soon,  I stayed non subs for over a year and am suffering quite badly now for that choice.  Good luck and hang in there!

Don't jump.....you probably won't make it to the other side...in my opinion, you will fall. I am also on about 2-4mg. of Sub and I can't seem to get over the last little bit. Every time  I try I get the same damn feeling. The sweating and uncomfortable aches and irritability. I HATE IT!!! When I try to just go for it though, all I think about it relapsing. I don't want that to happen to you, I would reccomend going back one more time and keeping trying to taper off. If you don't go back, and you run out....when it starts getting bad you will have nothing to fall back on and you will probably get desperate. We all know very well how that story ends. You've come so far, don't give up now. I'll help you in any way if I can. I'm going through exactly what you are. I'm here anytime....Good luck and keep trying!!!!!!

OOHHH, I think jumping off at 2 mgs might be worse than death.  Keep us updated on how your doing. Good luck.
