Suboxone Detox ???

[downandout1003]

Hey Yall,
It's been a while since my last post.  I've been taking Suboxone for 3 months.  I am ready to try and stop.
My doctor prescribed me 2 a day, but as of now I'm only taking  1/2 of an 8mg a day.   My question is
what's the best way to detox from here.  Please if anyone has a good detox regime from 4mg, I would be so greatful.
Before I got on Suboxone, I was on methadone for 10 years.  I have been thru the hell of methadone withdrawls, and I want to do this Suboxone detox  the right way so I don't have such severe withdrawls.....
Thank you all so much...  God Bless

The key is to go slowly and get to .5mg a day or less. Have you asked your doctor for an appropriately slow taper?

Hi, I was on Suboxone for 1 week only for my withdrawals from Fentanyl and Vicodin.  I had to be supervised so that I only took the Suboxone for a week otherwise I would have stayed on it longer.  The way they tapered me from it was by giving me a whole pill for 2 days, then a half pill for 2 days then a quarter pill for 2 days then they stopped.  I felt some horrendous WD's because of the Fentanyl but non the less I never took the suboxone again.  It's hard to go through the withdrawals, almost unbearable but with a strong mind and a constant routine you should be able to do it, drink lots of water, take warm baths if needed and keep telling yourself you can do it!  My thoughts are with you.  Terri

I don't know much about this at all, but I'm bumping it in the hope that someone who does will answer.  Good luck.
