Subs - The positives.....

Hey everyone.....is there anyone out there who has successfully gotten off subs and had a positive expierience? Maybe not 100%, because I dont think its possible....but a better expierience than most of the ones we hear about?? It ***** to be on subs, and hear all the horror stories! Just looking for any positive stories for motivation to get completely off!! Also, if you have gotten off successfully, can you tell me how you did it.....what mg you jumped?, if you skipped days at the end or not? Thanks you all.....this site is amazing....Ive talked to some awesome people individually, and cannot thank them enough for their advice and information!!! You guys are the best :)

I am on day 41 off of subs and was on them for 6 years so it can be done. My opinion being the least amount of time u stay on them the better! I did not taper correctly so I definately can't speak on it but what you will really need is some time! I wish I would have known that the w/d from pills would have taken less time physically. It took me about 21 days to be able to get out of my house. Do u have a spouse, parent, or sibling that can help b/c u will need help both physically and mentally. It's tough but most certainly can be done! How long have u been on subs?

Hey, I just PM'd you.  I think that any amount of subs there is gonna be WD, but you really have to be ready.  Your on a low dose right now, you could do it!!  I know it's scary thought, but the situation as a whole is scary.  Take your life back, you deserve it.
