He tapered for 1 year? am glad he’s off and feeling well, gives me hope too. My problem is that am getting back into work and I don’t want to be in pshycal or mental withdrawals for too long while I work, I’ve already been out of work for long as it is because of being on subutex for so long.

Another issue am concerned about is that by now I would have thought I would be feeling some mental withdrawals? where you wake up and and your emotional? I feel the pshycal affects but not mental like I use to 3 years back…Back then whenever I went a long time without a dose or woke up early then usual I would feel like some sort of clarity, some blurry visions, this use to tell me my receptors haven’t been filled up by bup yet, but now I hardly seem to get that, this worries me somewhat. Its like bup is my normality, I want to feel hope in my head that the bup is clearing, like am stuck in a hole, it feels this is m sobriety, feels this foggyness is normality, when it shouldn’t be, I hope you guys understand what am saying here? I can feel as though the sub is stuck in my brain and its trying hard to stick to it..

Perhaps when I go lower I feel feel mental symptoms? then at least I would know the bup is leaving my receptors right? I think this is why people have PAWS for so long because the bup is stick to the brain..I thought a slow wean will make the bup let go of those receptors and cut down on PAWS. The more I research the more am kind of understanding the issue of PAWS and bup.

What if someone was on bup 0.3 or 0.4 for 3 years? they would feel the same as someone on 6mg for 3 years right? so if they tapered down which would probably be 3 months they would still get PAWS right? because of the half life and the duration they were on bup.
