Today is sunday and took .5 mgs. this morning at 5 AM feel fine, slept good. tommorow will try 40 and see how I feel. I follow the 25% reduction after 4 days, but I have read below 1 mg. should step down by 8ths, not 1/4s. I hope my eric clapton black box comes in tomowwow. It could be a snake oil scam but Pete Townsend did write a good article about the black box curing opiate addiction in penthouse for him. Also Kieth Richards gave it positive feedback. This addictiction to opiates is such a battle for my life that I am willing to try anything to get clean. Also good news is a NA mtg. has started in our town again and that is how I stayed clean for 7 years before. The thing about NA is crackheads can get over the mental addiction with a little time and wining, they dont puke and shit all over them selves for days like an opiate jones. NA can help me stay clean, but first I have to get clean, and I am just to old to do the cold turkey thing again and hold a job. I see the girl on you tube filming her 21 day detox from suboxone stepping off at .5 mgs. I want to be on a lower dose then that when I step off. SS

today is friday and did my 60 units at 5 A.M. and feel fine. Ive noticed once below the 1 mg. level the depression is not as bad. I quit suboxone like this 2 years ago, but I weaned to .04 mgs. I had one bad night then ok. Im just so impatient weaning. I have to stay at least 4 days on each dose. How are you doing LB?

wow lb I dont see how you can skip a day at 1 mg. god bless you. I took my .5 mg. this morning as stated and had to come home and take another .3 mgs. so I ened up taking 8/10ths of a mg. today. tomorrow I will take 60 units instead of 50. I was comming down to fast. I ordered the bio tuner and waitinfg for that to come in also. I have a week off in a few weeks and hope to quit completely then.

Monday- this morning I took 60 units about 3 am when I woke up, I went back to sleep and was a bit uneasy so I took another 15 units. so I did.75 mg. today and feel ok. I’m going to try 60 in the morning again and see how I feel before work.

to clarify my last note,
the syringe is a 1 cc or ml syringe with 1oo units. I put 8 mls on a 8 mg. sub pill so one full syringe, or 100 units is 1 mg. of suboxone. so 80 units is .8 mg. of sub.

today is sunday. I went to .8 mg( 80 units) and feel fine. I set my syringe by my bedside at night brfore my mrlatonin and took it when I woke up at 4 am. also I dont have a runny nose. I am not as depressed as I was on 1 mg. that is an awfull spot, but gotta go through it. so instead of 4 days I felt well enough after 3 days and went down 20% instead of 25% because Im cautious. I also have no runny nose today. I will take 75 units tomorrow and go to work, if Im nervous at noon Ill have to come home and do another 5-10 units. I will se how I feel at bed time, I may load 80 units again. remmember my syringe has no needle, its just used to measure in mgs. in 100 unit measurements. Ive done this before and I know you have to measure exactly. hope this helps some one, and write me if you can relate. SS
