I hope so...

What is your time table with the bupe, you had what 6-10 pill or what not. How many days do you plan on taking your bupe for? I assume you will save 1-2 8mg'ers for back up. So what milligram do plan on hopping of the bupe at? I wouldnt advise anything more than 0.5-0.25mg's I can tell you right now if your catching a buzz from this and you stop taking the bupe you will be sick, regardless if you even dont catch a buzz you will be sick.
What are you planing for your post-bupe detox? Any meds or support groups? Just trying to let you know it wont be completely painless you will feel like shit after stopping the bupe. This can be prevented by tapering slowly and IMO correctly
day 1: 8mg's [to test the waters and see what kinda dosage you need]
day 2: I think you said you used 5mg's [and still feeling some effects]
day 3: 2mg's [bid] once in the morning once at night
day 4: 'same'
day 5: 2mg's in the morning and 1mg in the evening
day 6: 'same' - try going without the evening dose or cut down one of the doses
day 7: 1mg [bid] once in the morning and once at night
day 8: 'same' - try to stabilize on dosage while trying to lessen the evening dose
day 9: 'same' - still try to stabilize on the dosage [1mg in the morn. & hopefully 0.5mg in the evening]
day 10: 1mg in the morning
day 11: 0.75-0.5mg in the morning
day 12: 0.5mgs should be stabile at that dosage
day 13: dont take any bupe untill you feel w/d than take a minimum amount 0.25-0.5mg
day 14: skip a day no dosing / dose on benzos
day 15: dose .25mg
day 16: skip a day no dosing /dose on benzos
day 17: try to jump off right here, hit the benzos and sleepers [you will want to have some extra bupe at this point]
day 18-20: Valium, etc. Maybe a pinch .25mg of bupe when your feeling very bad.
day 20-30: work on getting sleep back to normal
I dont know how long your planing on taking bupe for but an abrupt stop is not good taper down as low as you can go. Stabilize on that dosage and than start trying to skip days or go as long as possible with out hitting the bupe. I always think its good to break-up your daily doses ahead of time and prepackage them as it makes going over your alloted amount alot harder. Ill say it again when you get down to the 1-.25mg dosing insufflating will come in hand greatly. Thats a ok taper I have posted you might want to stabilize on doses for a bit longer but your just delaying the inevitable. The dose and than skip a day makes the tail end of the taper ALOT easier to hop off with less negative w/d feeling from the bupe [which there will be]. Hopefully you can medicate those symptoms with benzos, muscle relaxers, and sleepers. Also maybe an out-patient program or at least some meeting or have someone to talk to.
Hope it all works out for you.
