Bupe coming off suboxone comfortably

[jones-in_J]

Sorry I know this threads way overdoje but would really like some help w my specifoc case. And btw hi bluelight its been a while!

Ive been on 4mg for the past 70 days except lately ive been taking some extra.. yesterday I took 12 mg and the extra 8 didnt give me any kinda extra energy at all whereas I was taking 2 fot a long time and even my dose I was supposed to take of 4 made me feel great.

Well since its stupid needing so much and not getting any enjoyment out of yaking extra I decided its time to get down to at least 1mg.. I was gonna not dose at all today and figured itd at least take a couple days for wds to start... wrong!!

Since getting off heroin and onto suboxone ive never felt really bad but by 2 todau my amxiety was thru the roof which normally I wouulda tuffed it out but I work a sales job now and fucked up a sale really bad due to my anxiety so I knww it was time to dose

Anyway im done with upping my dose for a good while cuz its not doing what I want it to

I pretty much know I need to just take 3 for a couple weeks then 2 for a few weejs and then finally get down to 1

So I guess I basically know what I need to do im not new to bluelight and though this is my forst time on suboxone long term I never really understood how hard some ppl sau it is to get off of till now

So I guess maybe I just wanted support and any input frok amyone whos been thru this before... look forward go being on this site a little more often again

I've been in your boat jones, so I know exactly where you're at. I did subs in the clinic for 18 months. Let's say I didn't take them as prescribed 8( but I was up to 16 at the start. I worked down to 8 after a while.

I currently get mine off the streets and I got kicked out of the clinic suddenly. I had to dose down pretty quick, but to be honest, I quit using them by doing drugs. I can't lie about it and say I magically went from 8mgs to 1mg a day. But after I binged, I just took a 1/2 and after a while, I worked down to a 1/4 (So, 1/2=4mg 1/4=2mg).

Now, I binge every two weeks for a few days. When I start back on the sub, it's usually 1mg a day does me fine. More would obviously be better, but I feel that I need to keep my dose as low as possible.

The only suggestion I can give you is to do what you say. You have to start dosing down if you're serious. But don't just cold turkey the shit, jesus, that's rough.

Once you get down to 4mgs, work on getting down to 2. That was my toughest jump right there. It was harder psychologically more than anything. But if you can jump from 4 to 2, then you can work your way down to one. It's not impossible.

Don't use my suggestion at the top, though. That was the only choice I had and it actually has caused me to relapse multiple times since I got out of the clinic. Just work on what's best for you.

Good luck!
