Let me start by saying i was on subs for about 21 months now,
i have tapered early but was stuck on 0.5mg for about 5 months (i was scared to jump). Lately i got fed up and for the last 2 months tapered from .5 to about .3 (cut .5 in 3pcs.) for 2 weeks, then went down to .25 for 2 weeks, then went to half of that (0.125) for 2 weeks then i even went to 0.06.
I was nervous jumping off, but today is day 4 and i feel fine.
I had the mild stomach problems but nothing major at all.
And a tiny bit of depression. If i didnt know i was off subs i wouldnt have even noticed i was detoxing, its so mild.
But im on day 4 now and the sneezing subsized and its like nothing at all. TAPER LOW TO 0.06 AND JUMP

Thank you for clarifying that, suboxone Doctor. Suboxone is a great step in the recovery process, but not the ONLY step! It is so important to also be in recovery, otherwise you are just taking it to “get by” and not really dealing with the root of the problem.

That is so true. I have been on suboxone for 3 years xperienced much of the same. Thanks for the blog. I have also experienced many lifestyle changes. I am currently attending AA to keep me clean.

Suboxone can be a great alternative to traditional opiate addiction treatment. It is just a step in the recovery process and other lifestyle changes are required.
