Hey scorp I get what you’re feeling, and the motivation behind wanting to get off Sub. I jumped off Sub and methadone a few times in my early 20’s for exactly those reasons. The want to be "free" and to feel normal is really strong, and I feel it at least a couple of times a day.

I’m not gunna say "are you sure you’re ready", because really that’s a question for you to answer. I’d encourage you to think about whatever decision you choose though and not work off emotions alone – ie what are the benefits to your life from going off it, what are the risks etc.

If / when you end up tapering, I’d encourage you do a slow taper and jump off low. Test out if you get cravings on a very low dose of Sub before going off entirely. If you can handle life on 0.2mg’s Sub, handling life without Sub should be easy.
