Sure , it's like every other drug that came out for a certain purpose and then once out it's found it can do more than what it was first made for. What ever works , works. Simple.
Take neurontin, it was an elliptic med. After released and a little while later all of a sudden it can: treat nerve pain conditions ,such as diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, trigeminal neuralgia and restless legs syndrome.

I feel good about how things went down for me. That's what matters, right?
This world is not all the same. Each person is highly individualized. That person has to find what's right for them.
I fell into something that worked for me. I didn't know how I was going to use sub. The place that treated me decided. Again I had no say in what I was doing, they controlled every step.
So I can't say the way I did it is right. I can say this giant rehab center has been using suboxone this way for a long time. Gotta mean something?
I will say I continued to take their taper further. When they were done with me at 1mg I took it all the way to .125
I truly believe that when I was at 1mg and into the mcg range I was going through WD's. It was just bearable because of the low low doses I was taking. I'm still waiting for at least another 3-4 days before I can say it's a
Successful sub taper with soft landing.
