It’s so sad and terrible seeing people relapse because of withdrawals and PAWS, even after a slow long taper. You see this is another example of someone tapering low and slow yet still suffering, it does make you wonder if all those rumors and reports of tapering extending misery are true (low doses tend to be more potent then high doses).

It seems you may have wasted your time tapering, perhaps if you had jumped cold turkey or above 1mg you may be feeling some progress? who knows, but if you cannot at all recover even a little bit at 3 months then I dread to think all those people tapering, whether are simply wasting their time and energy, and prolong misery.

You ain’t the only one to feel bad at 3 months, there are people feeling what you are at 2 years, even with a slow long taper. It just doesn’t seem to work or have any benefits at all. I’ve seen more people suffer in PAWS from a slow long taper then those who either CT or jump off from 2mgs and over. Maybe my doctor was right that there really is no point tapering down because the bup is simply too strong and a weird med to taper.#

I still feel the same at 0.4mg as I did on 6mg or even 8mg, what does that tell ya? it’s liking slowly diving right into a cold pool of ice, whereas CT is simply going direct to a cold pool of ice…There must be and has to be some truth to the tons of reports of tapering making things worse for people in the long run..
