I urge you to NOT go cold turkey.  I have info saved about tapering off of sub if you need it...

I think he is angry with his doctor for not tapering the Sub fast enough, but Chris, you need to be tapered showly.  Do you still have back pain?  Are you taking anything for it now?  Does the Sub help the pain?
