I have been taking Suboxone for 3 years. I was prescribed 20mg per day but after about 2 weeks I dropped to one 8mg pill a day, and have continued to drop. I am currently take .5mg to 1mg every 3-4 days. Sometimes I can go up to 6-7 days and at time up 10 days between doses. I have been doing this for about a year. But I want to stop completely, but it doesn't seem like I can. Does anyone have any suggestions. I try to go longer and longer without taking it, but then sometimes by that 4th day I have to take it. I guess I am just going to suffer thru the withdrawals. I just thought by taking such a low dose and skipping daysnI could lessen the withdrawals to the point they would be tolerable. Is skipping days going to help?
