Hey there folks,

I stayed at 0.25mg twice a day for longer than planned… 7 days instead of 3. I was having some life stress in the "good personal growth" department. I was unsure how the suboxone reduction was affecting my anxiety levels so I played it safe.

I then decided to push the reduction down to 0.15mg, then 0.125 (twice daily) and can say that I barely even noticed. In terms of anxiety, it was more effective to clean part of my apartment than to avoid dosage reduction. Maintaining the 0.25 dose did not help anxiety. Caring for my environment like a slightly responsible adult did help A LOT, even while reducing my dose to 1/2 of what it had just been.

********
In so much of my reading it has seemed like most threads about quitting tend to just stop well before the process has completed. This can make it tougher to have hope. I always do hope these people just got clean and busy with productive lives. However, we know the strong possibility that they slid back into the pit.

I do sincerely plan to update this thread until my suboxone dosage has hit zero for a week at least. (well beyond the 72 hour half-life issue)

I’ll be comfortably off this stuff soon. There’s no “maybe� about it.
