Hello, I am relatively new to this site but, have read a lot of interesting and helpful threads on BlueLight thus far. About a year ago, I started kicking all opiates. I had came to a point in my life to where I just had to stop. I was sick for months. Started going to a Suboxone Clinic now I am down to doing half a strip a day. I was wondering how sick does one get coming off Suboxone and, what would be the proper method of getting off Suboxone? I would just like to heard your input on this subject. Thanks.
 
Hey, new here too. There's lots of info about suboxone withdrawal here. I'm going through it myself. Best advice I can give is do a slow taper. I came off 2mg a day and wasn't really sick but the back ache sucks! Good luck w the kick man, plenty of support on here!
 
For me when I went from half a strip to a quarter of one I felt completely fine. I split up my dosages like if you're taking half a strip try taking 1/4 of a strip every 12 hours. Or even 1/4 every 6 hours. Honestly, I think this is helpful because for the longest time I was just convinced that I needed that 1/2 strip and I just randomly switched it up one day and took 1/4 and it held me for almost a full day. So right now I'm take about 1/8 a strip twice a day. I usually wait until I start feeling kinda weird (people who know withdrawals know their first symptoms of withdrawal) and then take it. If you need instant relief I recommend plugging it, it more effective but I've heard it doesnt last as long. I done it before and it seemed to work pretty good. Good luck!
 
Thanks... I was a professional motorcycle racer some years back and have had 3 spinal fractures, head injuries, have about broken everything (bones) at one point in time. Suboxone does help with the pain (somewhat) I have now... I recovered well but, still have pain but not bad.... Just wondering if I may not need a little piece of a Suboxone from now on... I don't know? Have been a hard core drug addict all of my life and alcoholic. Just kinda tired of it all but, I say that and still continue using.... Addiction is so weird.
