There is another way that isn’t discussed too often here as a way to taper. Ask your doctor for the Butrans patch. It comes in microgram doses. 5, 10, and 20 mcg’s. I did the math and the 20 mcg one dispenses around 2 mg’s of Bupe every day for 7 days. So using my math, the 10 mcg is equal to 1 mg delivered continuously even for 7 days. You could start with that one or if you can taper to .50 of your Sub, ask for the 5 mcg patch and just leave it on for maybe 2-3 weeks. This is just a guess on my part but it sounds like it makes sense to me.

Talk to your doctor and see what they have to say. I am surely no medical expert but I do know one person who did this and had minimal w/d’s at the end.

You were so close to the finish line. Keep trying, you’ll get there eventually.
