Hey B.,

Welcome to the forum! I know that now that you’ve made the decision to get off sub you might feel like rushing into it. But I would caution you that you would be better off coming up with a realistic taper plan to follow. My journey from 16 mg to 2.5 mg has been very doable, but it has taken time! While you’re tapering, you should definitely be working on underlying issues that feed into your addiction. I encourage you to read a lot of the tapering stories in the "Stopping Suboxone" section of the forum. The more thought and planning you can put into your goal, the better!
