What would you Advise someone without the money to afford your detox services ?
It's important to go very slow in a taper after 5 yrs use. Many have to stop and stabilize for a couple months before another drop. Most seem to get better if they stay at a slightly uncomfortable dose until it feels normal. 10mg a day doesn't sound like much, but it is approx. equal to 300-400mg of morphine. Try to relax as much as you can, and don't drop to a level that is really uncomfortable. Slooooow and steady wins the race. Glad you are ready to get off subs. Keep posting, and remember, You Can Do It.
Suboxone has become one of the top drugs we detox patients from at this point. Sometimes we see patients on less than a milligram that still cannot stop due to the lengthy withdrawal caused by the Suboxone. We do it in our hospital under sedation and patients are usually with us inpatients for 5 days. If you need more info check opiates.com.
