Hi oft,
If it were me, I would go tell all this to a new sub doctor. Either tell them you need help tapering or you’re not ready to come off. You can anonymously register at treatmentmatch.org and sub doctors will contact you, sometimes very quickly. Get more info at Naabt.org.
What happened to you is messed up but some doctors get into sub dispensing without really having a full grasp of it. Maybe they believe the r&b suboxone reps when they told them it is easy and painless to come off at 2mg.
It also seems like your dr. was mad because you weren’t following his directions and now he is done with you. Unfortunately, this does happen every once and a while and I believe the doctor has the law on his side in this type of situation. I don’t think there is much you can do legally. And next time with a new doctor you can say ‘hey, 12mg is too much for me, it makes me feel loopy’ and they will lower your dose, or they should…
