Hi Guys and Gals!

I have been on Subutex/Suboxone for a year and a half. Prior to that I had a small pain pill problem. 5-7 5mg Vicodins a day. In hindsight, I probably would have chosen to just quit the Vicodins, but I didn’t know then what I know now.

I have been reading a lot of information on this forum about the liquid taper. I decided to give it a try today. I was already down to .5 mg but skipping days was still too difficult. So…

I mixed up a solution of 2 mg Subutex pill to 10 mL water. When it was time for my dose today, I took 2 mL water, or what I HOPE is .4mg of Subutex.

It seemed to work very well! I am on a bit of an accelerated plan, due to the fact that I have a new job coming up, and I’d like to be done by then. There isn’t any pressure from the outside for me to do this. It is simply to goal I have set for myself. I have four weeks, and then I’d like to be done!

So, with four weeks to work with, I plan on staying at .4mg for 10-14 days depending on how I feel, and then going to .2mg.

So, my questions are:

1st) Does my math sound right? I hope so but a double check would be awesome.
2nd) Does anyone have any tips and tricks that others have used with the liquid taper method?

Any other words of encouragement would be appreciated. I am doing well, and not very uncomfortable, but still scared of becoming very uncomfortable…
