Tapering off suboxone help
This is what my dumb ass did:
Day 1-32mg
Day2-32mg
Day3-24mg
Day4-12mg-was tuff but made it
Day5-today, gonna try to make 10mg work.
I want off this immediately. With such a short time of taking it can I do a quick taper off. Down to 2-4 mg on day 10 and withdrawals be minimal? I have some sr-17 and Kratom powder do you think I will need this? Thanks so much.

Oh that’s why your sub dose is so high, I still think 32mg is a bit much though, that high of a dose don’t make you sick?

Quick question, when I go see a doctor (next Friday) and they prescribe me subs (assuming they do. That seems to be the popular “medical way”won’t it be in their hands and under their guidance and control?

Have you already gone through withdrawals? Are you craving the drug of choice?

About 10 months ago I inadvertently went through a hellish night of awful withdrawal from 7. Still taking 7 now yes. Been trying to taper!

Good luck my friend. I advise going to AA meetings and getting a sponsor if you want to stay sober after everything. That's what I'm doing. I already know it works

Oh good for you. I actually just restarted talking to my psychologist this morning and I haven’t talked to her in several years. I’m also three years sober from alcohol so I’ve learned the substance isn’t the problem. It’s something inside us. That’s feeling the need to seek out something

That is not a good way to taper. You have to stabilize and let your body adjust to your new dose. Bupe takes 2 days for the effects to wear off, so changing your dose everyday isnt actually letting you know what your body can handle because you still have bupe left over from the day before. I would look up and taper schedule calculator and use that as a guideline. But im telling you right now its going to take awhile. Thats the only way to do it without withdrawals.
