How long have you been taking Suboxone and how much? For me personally, my last time taking 200mg of oxcy I found a supply of Suboxone. I started with 4mg and it made me sick so I dropped to 2 the day. From 2mg I kept dropping daily not every few hours and within 21 or 22 days is was completely off everything. Suboxone is meant as a short term use only!!!!!  Not months or years. Almost 2 weeks now without any type of drug, no WDs only lack of energy but that's getting better everyday. I want a CLEAN and sober life, I see to many on hear that just want to swap addictions. For example, one guy I worked with started going g to a clinic for methadone and was up to 90mg a day and bragging how he was clean and not running the street chancing pills. By 3pm he couldn't even hold his head up, boy that's clean living right there. After a couple years at the clinic he just disappeared for a bit, after running into him again he told me his story about trying to get off methadone which almost killed him. If you were to go to a rehab center , 30 days or longer they would have you off ALL drubgs within 7 to 10 days weather it be Suboxone, Subutex or methadone. Even just a stay at detox any where from 3 to 7 days you leave clean without the major WDs. I would suggest you do research on those drugs before deciding to take 2mg of Suboxone every 40min. That's abosuluty insane IMO. The point is to get clear and sober not to do harder drugs that cause more harm. And definitely don't try other opiates while on Suboxone as well, you will not feel the high and possibly put yourself at risk for overdose, I mean death!
