My question, im about to drop 10mg suboxone cold turkey, ive been on it around 6 weeks, and im sick of it, my doctor doesnt want me to drop, and i am stuck on daily pickups, so cold turkey is my method of dropping, i read in a post above that 28 days in w/d symptoms are still being felt, that sounds horrible, but ive gone cold turkey off Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) and i cant imagine the psychological withdrawals could rival that, And im ready for the physical w/d, I plan on doing so with 10mg of diazepam per day, and seroquel (quietapine fumurate) for sleep if necessary, im willing to go through the hard yards for the end result, and i feel that every day i taper will be a day my body becomes more addicted to the suboxone. Ive been told too many times to taper, OVER IT. i want some advice around what to expect and how long to expect it for. Has anyone dropped cold turkey from 8mg - 12mg, straight to nothing??? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

taper down as low as u can .down to piles of dust if u have to it works u are in for a world of hurt if you do what u are talkin bout. Take it slow dont rush if that is doable. Im on day 5 of w/d from subs I had to jump off at about .75mg/day cause i ran out but would say to take it as low as you can.Tell yourself you can do this trust in your willpower we got ourselfs in this only we can get ourselfs out be strong dont give up no matter how hard it is. You can do this. Read all the blogs the more the better get as much advice as you can. If i can do it anyone can .Oh yea MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC Goodluck

Thanks for the good info. I've detoxes cold turkey from heroin before, which is why I thought I could do it, I've since learnt that buprenorphine w/d's last longer, so I'm started tapering, I got a kid on the way and can't do my daily pickups And work full time, so I gotta do it as quick as possible, thanks grassblue
