gonna try to quit suboxone

[tlho]

I have been on suboxone for 3 years and i want off very much but i am scared im now on 1mg a day but somedays take more i have been reading so many comments about how long it takes to feel normal again and just think how did they deal with everyday life feeling that way for so long. Are the withdrawals less intense if u taper off? Is there anyone who has had a some what easier withdrawal experience?

Thank u for answering me. How long did the worst withdrawals last and what week r u on now. Did u have any other meds to help u get through the worst of it.

Hi Im currently on my 13 day off of suboxone.  I tapered about down to 1/4 of a mg before jumping off.  I took them for 4 years so I have a buildup in my body.  Im not going to tell you its a walk in the park, but its doable.  Im just getting over the hump of acute withdrawal, so Im having bad stomach problems and fatigue.  Im hoping that within the next week the worst is over with.  I'd suggest you continue to taper down more before going off.  At least down to 1/2 mg.  Hope this helps

Welcome. You will get some answers soon. I'm not a suboxone person but there are quite a few people here who know about subs and what it's like to come off of them. Someone will be along soon to give you some help. I will bump your post up if no one comes around for a while. Take care.
