I have been on suboxone on and off for 3 years. This recent round of suboxone has lasted for a year at the dose of 16mg a day. I am ready to get off and want to revisit my doc again for a little vacation. I know what it feels like to go off cold turkey. I jumped at 8mg and didn't feel normal or the high from my doc, which is oxy 10's at around 21 days. I plan to start 8mg tmw. From there what is the quickest, easiest way to taper. And how long until I can feel my doc?

Hi there, welcome to Bluelight!
This forum is mostly for introductions - your query would fit best in somewhere like Other Drugs as they are the experts in Suboxone.

As you found, it can take a while for all the buprenorphine to wash out of your system; your tolerance may be high as well, so that is another factor.
Have you had any thoughts about how you will keep yourself clean once you quit? If you need some advice/support in this area I recommend checking out The Dark Side forum, which is the subforum dealing with addiction/mental health/the darker side of drug taking. All the forums on BL have different rules, so make sure you take a look at the guidelines before posting - for example, TDS has a unique "no triggering" rule.
