Please don’t worry about brain damage or any permanent damage for that matter. I also started my sub maintenance in 2006 and I’ve been off for 6 months and generally feel good. I’ve had to deal with some issues here and there but nothing that is too much to bear. I think you’re one step ahead of me in that your tapering plan sounds much better than mine ever was. I think you’ll have a much easier time if you can slowly wean down to even at least .5 mgs. My husband who was on lower doses throughout his maintenance basically walked off suboxone with very little symptoms at all. He weaned down to about .2 mgs.
Fear is worse than the actual tapering and jumping. Don’t let the fear consume you.
