Hello bluelighters, thank you for taking some time to read my story and give advice, ill just to be as clear as possible.

I've been on suboxone since April 1st, 2012...2mgs a day...tapered and have been stuck at 1 for around 3 months now. I don't have a legitimate sub script, my ex-gf did and after 3 years on December 10th our relationship fell apart and I moved back home with around 6 subs...4 are remaining.

Today I tapered to .5 and will finish off my 5th strip with tomorrow's .5

I'm also a pretty active pot smoker (quarter a week) and ill be running out tomorrow wi no way of getting more at the moment..usually smoke 4 times a day..I could get rid of the sub and get bud and it sooner..or keep tapering...or am I just freaking myself out and WDs will be bearable??
 
its gunna be rough mate but after day 3 it should only be uphill for you. grab some night time flu medicine, imodium, & ibuprofen. then grab your nuts and hold on =)

i just got off 3 years of suboxone, i jumped off at about 2mg now that i think of it. im at day 5 or 6, ill check on that... but the worst is over. youll be happy to be off that shit.

yup day 6, i dont sleep well but fuck it, another week i should be 90%
 
I would get down to as low of a dose as possible.. If you can get even below .5mg's, do it. The lower you hop off the easier it is. The bummer about bupe withdrawal is that it lasts much longer than kicking a full agonist like heroin.. Of course, the upside is that the acute phase isn't as severe.. So there's a trade off. But, you haven't been on it for a crazy amount of time, so I don't imagine your kick being unbearable. Are you going to feel like shit for a while? Yes. But it won't be debilitating. You won't be stuck in bed writhing around and puking... but you won't feel like a million bucks either.

Congrats on staying strong and having a positive outlook, man. Gatta keep your eye on the prize.
 
When I jumped off of sub (at around 1-2 mg)..I had lousy WD symptoms for 3-4 days but not nearly as bad as heroin/oxy. I felt like a normal human being after a few weeks but had a hard time focusing and just generally felt blah. After a month, I felt alright and everyone told me that I looked a million times better. Just don't try to medicate yourself with copious amounts of booze like I did. (bad move) Congrats and good luck.
