new to bluelight trying to detox from suboxone.

[jrichards8391]

Hello, Ohio here trying to get off this demon pill suboxone not easy but I'm so over the whole thing worse thing my dr could have done. I don't want to discourage anyone from doing what's best for them but for me it just isn't cutting it I've swapped out one drug for another. Currently taking 2mgs in the morning and 2 in the evening on the first wanna try to cut that in half, wish me luck lol
Reading some of the others stories and how they came off really does help, me anyways so thank you for sharing

Hi, Welcome to Bluelight ! !

Congrats on choosing to taper off Suboxone. Yeah, the last 1-2 mg is the most difficult. Best, of luck to you -- there are many others that are on Subs or coming off. Do you mind if I move your post to Sober Living? That forum might be very supportive for what you need.

We also have the Suboxone/Buprenorphine Mega Thread v. 19 available. I am also opiate free took me a few years to finally put it all down swapping one drug for another so many times I can't remember, but it got me here. I do relate.

You're in the right place. I hope you enjoy the site. Please feel free to ask me any questions.

Cutting your dosage in half shouldn't be a problem at all. Once you get to 2mg a day then I suggest you wait two weeks then drop your dose to 1.5mg. Wait two more weeks and go too 1mg at that point you need to go down very slowly until you get under .5mg every two days. Sub withdrawal is absolute hell if you taper too quickly.
