When is it safe to begin tapering is the million dollar question. I’m not sure if there is really a right answer because this time line varies so greatly for all of us. I’m going to begin my taper very soon but if I run into any problems I have every intention of reassessing my situation. It’s ok to have a plan but I think we have to be open to throwing that plan out the window if it is threatening our recovery. I guess I’m saying when you think your ready then give it a shot, if it’s not going well it is not a failure to remain on sub.

Like Hat said, if you are having symptoms reducing your dose should help. I think Rule gave you some great advice. You can try lowering your dose, if you get to a point the cravings are coming back you can stop or go back up a bit. Then after some time has passed you can try lowering again.

I highly recommend reading thru the stopping sub section. There are a lot of taper threads with a ton of info that would benefit you greatly when your ready to taper. Congrats again on your success and I am glad you found us!
