THanks Faeked!

Wow, what a rollercoaster you went through! That is very interesting, actually and helpful to know. I have been as careful as I can not to exceed the 1mg per day, though it is hard to know exactly because I suppose there is no way to ever exactly cut the strips perfectly. THere have been a couple times in the beginning, when I dropped to 1mg, where I had a bad day or was in a bad mood and considered taking a little more. But it doesn’t really have much affect for me – I mean not like pills did. Pills were a rollercoaster, just like you described, with running out and doses all over the place. Thankfully, with the suboxone, there isn’t that daily up and down since it seems to last. I am going to be careful not to fall into that pattern, which I think is an addictive behavior – well for me it was- of reaching for the medication everytime I feel stressed or tired or less than ideal….

I So hope you are right this won’t be hard. I am going to give this some thought, and I think I am goign to choose a day. A quitting day soon. I think I may try dropping to .50 for a few days and see how that goes. Then I will pick my day and just stop.

It really is encouraging actually, to hear about your story and that you got off it. I think you must be right about the scary stories and that makes sense. I mean I am hear because I am worried and still in the middle of all this, and can certainly see how once you are done with it, you might just move on… So I really appreciate that you stuck around to help me and others out!

I think I can do this. I am going to choose a day soon and build toward that day! Any advice you have, is most welcome!
