Is it possible?

Have been on Suboxone for a couple years...last year got down to 1mg tried to stop...went 12 days of
terrible YUCKS!. Went back up to 8 mg for a year...I ran into some Methadone and I took it for 3 days...4 more days   have now passed (four 24 hour periods) with nothing at all. The methadone was a fluke encounter...certainly not
considering getting high.

I really don't feel so bad...The chills and hot flashes come and in a few minutes they go and Im left feeling OK...not great but OK...Is it possible that I could have weened off Suboxone this way?????...Or, am I just kidding myself.

How many hours has it been? If its only been 24 then no, you may not even have it all out of your system yet. I think its about 48 hrs to start feeling the major w.d symptoms...
