Hello all,

I just read a thread that stated a SLOW taper is the way to go.. I see that Karen is stepping down slowly. I have enough suboxone that I can really do this slowly. But I really don’t know what to do here. Today I cut my dose of 1mg ( which I had been taking for about 6 weeks) to .75mg. I think I feel ok, but it takes a while, I am told on this medication to really feel anything. I had considered dropping to .5 but am glad I did not, having read a bit about this.

I SO don’t want to fail at this. I will do it as slowly as needed. I really have no idea and until I came here was just playing it by ear. I started a couple months ago at a super high dose, but only was on that for 2 doeses ( with a skipped day in between) and didn’t feel ok at that dose… So just chose a random small amount and that seemed to feel ok for me…

I don’t want to just stop. I had considered that, but read some stuff that said it is a bad idea.

I know everyone is different and there isn’t some magic solution, but if anyone knows how I should taper this, input is very welcome.
