should i just stop

I haven't checked in in a while but I am now down to .5mg of my Suboxone taper and it is my last day for that. Tomorrow I start .25 for a month. I was on some doses longer than others and i have good days and bad days. i am just ready to be done. i am thinking of just doing the .25 for a week and being done. What do you think?  I still get very sleepy but I feel I can work through that. Yawning and eyes watering drives me nuts too but that seems easy compared to what it could be.

As soon as I feel like everything is going well with this past cut back it all hits me again! It isn't bad but it does suck. Sometimes I just feel it is in my mind but then I have fatigue which is hard to deal with when you have a busy life style! I guess it will get better I have made it this far!

I would continue the .25 reduction taper.  You've come this far....just finish it out correctly!

Thanks! I will keep going but my doc thinks this should be the last step. I am truly hoping the end of this isn't going to be horrible, right before Thanksgiving and Christmas!
You've tapered correctly which is hard to do so i give you total respect for that! I couldnt taper from the subs i had to just quit cold turkey.
From others posting there is still w/d from .50 /.25 mg so try to get as low as possible. What i do know though is whatever lingering issues you will have with w/d should be short lived.
So it has been 2 weeks since I started the .25 & honestly it hasn't been as bad or bad at all like it was for me from 1 to .5! which I am really happy to report! I am going to do i think it is 9 more days on .25 then go to .13 for a couple of weeks and if that isn't bad I will be giving up the Subs for good after 8 years! I am actually very happy I have came this far and didn't think I ever would! It was a long thought process to even start my taper and believe me there were some very trying times! Thanks for all you input motye51!
