I’ll take a different approach, I was on Suboxone longer than you, I moderated around 2-4mg around my jump point.

Basically you can avoid Hell and spend months / years dedicating yourself to getting progressively lower doses until your dose is pretty much zero, jump and feel moderate withdrawals.

The major difference is the 10 initial or so days. I’ve not run into paws myself. I’m feeling better daily. Moderate stressful situations can feel quite intense at even 30 days out however.

Tapering is hard. But more comfortable in the long run. My mind won’t allow me to stay at a progressive dose. I’d reward myself for stupid life events and back track all of my progress. Looking back now I wouldn’t have changed my method to stopping. It’s more efficient, faster and by day 10-15 you’re at about the same feelings as a taper quitter.

Granted Hopespring is doing absolutely amazing. We share a lot of symptoms after the initial 15 days. My sleep patterns are coming back well. I’ve started to get non assisted sleep ( no clonidine ).

If you can taper more power to you. It’s absolutely possible to just stop taking them though. Painful and annoying, however completely do-able. Either method is nothing to be afraid of.

Tell your family you have a stomach flu if you need an excuse the first 10 days.

Anyhow back to work, this reply is horrid but I’m rushed.

Best of luck buddy!
