REPORT

Thanks Dave and Alice, Have been on 1mg for 1 month down from 2mg for 3mo.
Started the Suboxone program at 8mg a year ago and the doctor has been tapering me down to 1mg.My opiate use up till then was 20mg x4/day. of Oxycodone due to work related injuries.(US ARMY/US COAST GUARD) I kinda blame the doc for putting me in this situation by cutting me off suddenly.It sucks!

Hi paranah,

How long were you on Suboxone for? And have you always been on a 1mg dosage?

I know some people have mentioned on other threads that they had no problem stopping a 1mg dose, without withdrawals; yet in other cases, long term patients have still had withdrawal issues even past the 0.5mg mark. Whereas they found themselves having to taper down to .25 mg for about a week before being able to stop completely. Everyone's different though, so you may just need to contact your doctor regarding a tapering schedule if you feel like you need additional assistance.

Many people going through withdrawals also find that exercise is a big factor as far as keeping their mood elevated, so I'd probably take that into consideration as well when the time comes.

Does anyone else have advice from personal experience?

Hi thanks for telling your story. I am just about there I am on 2 Mg a day. Every change has come with a little depression tired feeling and tiny craving for more but I have managed to be free from everything but sub. I think I can expect to feel something every time I change dose.
