I have been on Suboxen for 3 yrs. I started at 8mg 2 x a day. I am now at 2 mg 2 x a day. I am ready to be rid of this once and for all. I did stop completely and on the 3rd day I was having a rather hard time.
~~~ What is the best way and what should I expect? Should I expect to have some withdraw symptoms, If so then what? For how long? How much of this is mental ? How much is physical? How long should it take me to come off of 4mg of Suboxen completely? Please any and all information is appreciated. :-)
Thank you,
Kimberly

You shouldn't come off of a 4mg, start with going down to 2mg a day for a while and then split that in half so you'll be at 1mg then take that in half for a few weeks and then at this point start skipping every other day then every 4 day and till you off., I was told it can make you get high blood pru if you do it and don't tapper. Keep in touch and good luck.

Thank you for the information. I have noticed the high before when I tried at an earlier time to stop this medication, however I did not know why. I was going every other day,but since reading your reply I will go down to 2mg a day and so on. I appreciate you taking the time to reporting back to me.
I have been reading many peoples experiences on the Subs. Even though some are not positive at least I know what to expect. I was under the impression that it would be easy. I have gone 5 days and been okay. Then BAM! I wish I would have known the longer that you have been on it the harder it is to get off. I still would do it over and take the subs. vs. the cold turkey. I would just have done it at an earlier time. I will be off of this medication I guarantee it. I am just going to take my time doing so.
Thank you to all that write in about their experiences, it makes the rest of us not feel so alone.
Good luck to you all.
Take Care, God Bless and Be well!
