out of bupe for first time in 2 years,I fear whats coming

hey all,I know this is an old thread but thought I would post some progress,I'm sucessfully down to 2mg a day on the sub and doing quite well apart from some other unrelated problems,so..... was at 32+mg a day,WD'ed for 10 days with dxm(be careful with that if you plan on trying it)and am now at 2mg a day sub.
 
I'm at 1.5mg sub whatever you do take your freakn time. Its rarely the wds from tapering that will screw with me its mostly the depression that gets me. It took me about 3 months to go from 6mg of sub down to 2mg. And now I've been at 1.5 about a week. I plan on taking another 2-3 months to go from 1.5mg to off. ONLY for the depression. I notice it seems to help a lot. Had I dropped from 6mg to 2mg in only a couple months I'd be a lot more depressed now. But I listened to my body and I honestly think as long as you LISTEN to your BODY you will be fine.

I notice now though as great as I am doing towards the end of the day after dosing my mood tends to go down and I get more irritable. Also yawn a lot, etc. SO I may being to dose 1mg/1mg (going back up to 2mg) so I can begin to drop dosing twice a day. Either way I will continue to do a slow detox paying careful attention to the word "slow" and I do not see a single thing stopping me now.

Also realize relapsing is somewhat natural (although I've been going 3 months now w/out a relapse) but it can also make you feel unstable. If you relapse be sure to not always go immediately back to tapering but take a week or 2 just taking the same dose. Otherwise depression can near its face and thats always when I go from rational thinking >> to irrationl thinking.

GOOD LUCK KEEP AT IT. =]
