  |

Hi there! I am 29 ys old girl from Louisville. I have been on Suboxone after my operation, and it really helped me a lot, I am not complaining or anything, but the thing is that I would really like to get off of it now, and be clean again. How should I taper Suboxone? All replies are welcome!!!!

It would be best if you talked to your doctor about tapering. It should be done at the slow rate because otherwise can cause withdrawal symptoms but you may already know that. I would suggest doing exercises and not just mild but heavy trainings, so that is easier for you to handle withdrawal symptoms. Good luck!!!!

| suboxone withdrawal seems a lot like methadone withdrawal. No sleep at ALL, none, no eating, spasms, chills, and it does a real number on you mentally. Huge mood swings. The worst of it lasted 3 months and then tapered off for a couple more. This was in the mid 70's when they didn't supply methadone in prison. |

| I was on methadone for 17 years and switched to suboxone because I heard that suboxone was a partial inhibitor unlike methadone (full inhibitor). I also switched because I was paying $60 weekly on the meth program but now paying only $70 monthly. When I switched to suboxone I was only on 10mg of methadone and my doctor put me on 4mg of suboxone, took me up to 8mg and now back on 4mg hoping to go to 2mg soon. I was told by my psychologist to do some research on the withdrawal of suboxone and now I am more scared than ever before. I want to get off drugs completely but since I have been on them for so many years I am terrified. I have faith and ambition to do this but still scared just the same. I have only been on suboxone now for about 7 months. Come to find out, if I did not have my medical insurance, I would be paying $425 monthly just for the medication, not including the doctor's fees. I don't want to go back on methadone and will try to kick closer to the end of this year when things may be more stable in my personal life. I have no urge to get high on heroin anymore but scared that trying to detox from suboxone will drive me literally insane and back to a life I no longer desire. |
