Hello everyone. I’m a 38yo near Philadelphia who has been on suboxone maintenance for over a Decade. I’ve followed the program by not using any other drugs or controlled substances prescribed or not which in my eyes is an accomplishment. People tell me I’m not clean but it’s not their recovery. I think that’s giving me zero credit after being in 5 rehabs, no job, broke, and almost dying. I’m now doing amazing and I’m ready for the next stage in my life to rid this suboxone out of my life. I now have to get this monkey off my back and get off the suboxone. I need advice from people who have detoxed from long term sub. I’d be happy to hear others stories please share. How did you do it and what helped or hurt the process. I’ve tapered slowly from 16mg down to 2mg so I’m getting there. Hope that we all find happiness and healing. I do take clonidine. My doc was oxy but I did end up doing all the other drugs more than occasionally. Opiates really got me though and I’m happy to be here alive today. Good luck to everyone trying to battle this beast of addiction. Thanks for letting me share. If anyone wants to talk or wants support I’ll listen.
