subutex -

[banana911]

after past years of herioin addiction i was clean & sober for a few years - - once i started d&d again i got into perks & vicodin - - - i have been on subutex for more than a year but only taking like 1/2 or 1/4 of a 2 mg a day thinking i am down to the bone -- but i feel the tension in my arms and just general jonesing angst without just that little bit.  What is the last step if anyone knows ??????

Two drugs that can cause extented lengths of your suboxone or subutex use are Heroin and Methadone.......
A addiction doctor told me those addict types may need to stay on the pills for a long time..........

It depends how you feel and it really depends on your W/D symtoms...........

Your on subutex instead of suboxone does that mean your still using? Not all the time but once in a while?  If thats to personal and none of my business its cool but I was just wondering still haveing W/Ds after a year is a long time...........

Have you been getting support all along or just the suboxone?  It's really important that you build up a good support system for when you jump off.  Congratulations on getting clean and getting ready to be truly on your own.  I am also a sub user so I know how hard it is mentally to give up something that has really been helpful.

Push past it and taper off.. as long as you have a opiate in your system you will have that feeling like you need more. Get off of it and find other ways to deal with cravings..like support, meetings,ect
