New guy– do NOT make the mistake of thinking that there are a bunch of people here who are almost done tapering off Suboxone. There is too much lying with the industry, than to build this forum on lies.

Tapering off Suboxone is very difficult. Those who do taper off usually end back on opioids. According to two major studies this year, people on Suboxone one month who tapered off Suboxone had a 96% one-yr relapse rate. People on it for a year, after tapering, had a 94% one-yr relapse rate.

People in the US are dependent on meds to treat many more minor conditions; nobody thinks less of the dependent on meds for high blood pressure.

You’ll find varying opinions here—- but remember that many people still taking Suboxone somehow considers themselves experts in living without it…. And few of the boasters of sobriety have been off everything for 6 months— let alone a few years! Know your own truth.
