Hi confused, I hope I don,t confuse you more but heres what I did when I got down to 8mgs. By the way, it was my sub. drs. taper plan. For 2 weeks I alternated, day 1 8mgs. day2, 4mgs. day3, 8mgs.day4, back to 4mgs. This averages out to 6mgs. I kept this routine up for 2weeks then tapered to 4mgs. From the 4mgs I tapered 1mg. per week. After the last week on 1mg. I stopped completely. I was taking the strips and when I got down to 4mgs. sub dr. prescribed the 2mg strips just because it was easier to cut. Tapering this way was a walk in the park. No wds. bettween tapers. Last week on 1mg I woke up couple times thruout night but went right back to sleep. No problems after that. Been off subs since June 6 of this year. They were a big help with me stopping the opiote abuse. I,m glad I,m off everything. If this reply confuses you let me know and I,ll try to reword it more clearly. Oh ya, get a calender so you can keep track of doses, it,ll help. You can do this very easily. Remember, TAPER,TAPER and keep to a schedule. You can do this with min. to NO wds. Good Luck.
