My doc kept me on sub's for 4 years, at one point I was down to 2 mg and he brought me back up to 10 mg.
Today is 8th day without subs and my body is still in pain.
I strongly recommend tapering down as much as you can as fast as you can, research how to taper properly, because I didnt and my withdrawal was that much worse.
I don't want to give medical advice because, well, I'm not a doctor. But the more reading and research I do on this drug the more I believe these docs have been mislead about dosing during their suboxone courses. All I can say is I was told my dose would be between 1-2 8mg tabs per day. I didn't buy it (dose) so I tried 6mg at induction and felt 100% normal, maybe even slightly buzzed so I could probably have taken a little less even. Went down from there immediately. The sub makers are liars.
