You are doing this much too fast and will likely end up in relapse. You should have listened to the people at the clinic, as they do have much more experience with this than do you. But addicts seem to like to "play doctor" a lot, but this will hurt you in the end and put whatever gains you've made in treatment at risk. Withdrawals and compulsion will come within 72 hours of your last dose. A proper rate of taper would be 1 mg. every 10 to 14 days. Takes much longer, but is always pain free and effective, and that is the object, or should be. Sorry to bring bad news, but you asked and need to know. Good luck.
