Well Im ready to throw the checkered flag and drop down to .75 tomorrow. Stayed on 1mg little longer than I wanted to-14 days. Feels like my bodt finalley adjusted to that dose.I have noticed though,, seem like my body is trying to tell me what time of the day to dose up Well you know what? I aint listening to my body. I have been adding an hour of waiting to dose for the last week now. Still nothing to mention about wds,, other than a littlt runny nose and a little bit of anxousness at about the time Im supposed to dose. Will try and just do 7 days at .75 then drop to .5. I dont know just playing it by dat to day. At least Im heading in the right direction! Got to admit though ,,just tired of every thing to do with all this bullshit!!! But will stick to the plan ,,Dammed if Ithrow all this work away now,got too much into this now to give up! Still would like to get ahold of the Dr, That prescibed this shit and kept telling me its no big dealto get off this shit!!! uh huh!!?!?!?!?!?

RUSS55,, Sounds like yr tapering down alright .You didnt mentoin how yr feeling. If yr feeling too dad jusy stay at that same dose a little longer .You will no from yr body reactions if yr dropping too fast! Also now is the time for somr gentle exarcise,load up on yr vitamin sups and some tylenol pm to help with any kind of insomnia.. Other than that man ,,you ARE going to have some type of wd,, but if you taper donw to nothing it will be just like some mild flue symtoms and notlast foe only a couple of weeks . Alot of this all depends on aloy of things ,,,,, How long you were on sub yr body yr head ect.ect Yr heading in the right direction just keep it slow slow slow here on out man God Bless

I have been tapering. started @ 8/4 strip. went to a 1/2 of a strip then to a third. At the present I am taking 1/10th of a strip. 2 more days and go to 1/12th. I will stay there 2 weeks and then 14th. 2weeks and 16th etc.etc. When do I throw the Bullshit flag and quit? Please, any advise would be appriciated. this all started from a lumbar fusion that went south. Nerosurgeon prescribing roxy 15mg 5xd for 13 months.

JJDUBB Sorry man hopped up on my coffee right now wanted to tell you taht you might also want to just stay on 1mg for a little while and not drop at such big doses! you said you went from 2mgs to 1mg and feeling kind of rough ? Maybe if you were to just drop at a little lower dose ,,, like 25% each tme you wont feel so crappy. Just a thought man . This is what seems to work for me. If you have the time and resources then whats the hurry? No sense in suffering if ya dont have to Good Luch man Im rooting for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

on 1mg now.. down from 2mg a day 2 weeks ago and feel ok. i have other medical conditions which make this very hard for me and totally deplete my energy levels. at night advil pm works wonders if i need it , i usually hate dipenhydramine but it def helps if you have insomnia. trying real hard at this. i had quite cigarettes and weed too but recently started back which was a dumb idea but i guess first things first. opiates are number one priority for kicking right now

Hello all – My first post, but won’t be my last. For starters, I am proud of everyone in here. Keep up the good work, keep your head together, and stay strong.

I was a drug user for about 3 years. At the end, I was snorting 240mg/day of roxi, and as I’m sure you can all relate to, wasn’t even getting high anymore. It got to a point for me where I absolutely hated myself. The bad part for me was, NOBODY knew. Not my family, friends, girlfriend, nobody knew I was ever using. So I finally hit my breaking point and decided to get clean. I went thru 7 days of brutal withdrawal, and finally started to feel like I could walk on my own 2 feet. I didn’t trust myself worth a damn, however, so I decided to try out suboxone to keep me off the pills.

This was 2 & 1/2 years ago. I started out on 8 mg, then they actually upped my dose to 16 mg. I thought it was a friggin miracle – I felt great, had energy, didn’t think about pills, I felt like a normal person. Over time, these feelings subside, as you all know. I have now tapered myself down to .25mg/day. I only had a hard time tapering once or twice (4mg-2mg for some reason sucked in particular) I have been on the .25mg/day for almost a month, and am ready to JUMP. I have been feeling heavy anxiety about this, driving myself crazy. Last night, I decided that today was going to be the day I put this in my rear view. I told myself I wanted to try to take some extra sub to see if it actually made a difference in how I feel anymore. I took .5mg, and sure enough, about a half hour later I felt amazing, like the first time I ever took a sub all over again. However, another half hour passes, and I was sick as a dog. Headache, stomach ache, sweats, couldn’t sleep etc.

I felt like crap all morning, and am finally starting to feel better now. I actually think yesterday was a good thing, kind of put things into perspective for me. The half hour I felt great is how I SHOULD/WILL feel ALL THE TIME! he rest of the night and early part of today remind me of the nightmare addiction that has plagued my life for the past 5 years.

If anything, I hope this post can help put this into perspective for other people as well, or you may just think I’m plain old crazy. My taper has not always been easy. I have alot of anxiety and jitters, sometimes feeling a bit flu like, but nothing unbearable. If I can get to where I am now, you can all do this as well. Follow the advice from Ceaser, I took a similar approach myself and it worked very well for me. I will keep you all posted as I go thru this process. Best wishes

DanieE Just a sugestion,, you might want to back up and slow yr taper down a bit. Maybe get back to 2mgs for 7 days then drop to1.5mgsaday for 7-14 days then down to 1mg for 7-14 days until you feel comfortable man and to get you leveled off a little on each time you dose down.Then dose down even slower,from 1mg down to .75 for 7 days then to .5mgs for 14 days then down to .25mgs for 7 days then 0 for 1 day then.25 1 day then 0 for 2 days ,,.25 1 day and 0 3 days,, .25 1 day 0 for 4 days ,,.25 1 day then 0 5 days then .25 1 day then quit! This stuff is soooopowerful if you just slow down and taper like i listed you shouldnt feel so uncompfortable .Dont get mewrong when yr done yr likely to have some sort of residual effect do to the longer lasting binding effect that regular opiates dont have .Symptoms whenyou do jump can include lack of some energy maybe some insomnia ,,but all that WILL repair its own self just have to give it all some time . Remember you didnt get to where yr at over nite but i promise you this WILL ALL PASS!!!VERY VERY SLOWTAPER is the name of the game with this stuff. I truley believe that the big drug companies invented this stuff with all the intentions of the world of making it seem like you cant get off it and they want you to be on it forever!! Show them wrong and get off this nasty shit and get yr life back SLOWLY though!! This is where a lot of people mess up and rush the taper for whatever the reasons they have. This stuff is just too stong to play around with! Am i saying you wont have any wd symptoms at all ? NO you will have some mild symptoms but nothing like you would have if you try to just kick without a taper plan. This stuff is not poison ,,it got me off my DOC ,,now i just have to work the traprt and will do it at my own speed! Good Luck and God Bless

Been downto1mg a day now for 7 days,,think i will go another 7 at 1mg as i dont feel leveled out that good yet! Willthen drop to .75 hopefully for 7 days if not will go 14 days then down to .5 for 14 days then down to .25mgs for 7 days and start my skippng. I take my 1mg dose later and later every day seems to be going alright did notice yesterday was a little cranky and kind of looking forward to my dose,, so that kind of tells me that i am not readyto drop down just right yet! Thats ok though, all i got is time man and about 4 bottles of 8mg subutex left,,SLOW SLOW TAPERis the only way to go!I do know if i tried this with my DOC,i never would have made it this far ,,, GOD speed
