The secret to getting off Suboxone is:

Its actually really true.I can vouch. But only a half way strong minded person could ever do that and not abuse pain pills again. Hell i dont even know if i could , but i can wein down super low off suboxone and come off with minimal to no withdrawl. I tske it fir ither reasons occasionally now.

Wow...  5090 mgs of oxy a day?? Your a liar buddy. NOONE can handle that. I don't believe this story at all. Any drug addict knows this story is BS. Oh and it's spelled SUBOXONE 

What Big A18 is saying works. I've done it. I was stuck on 16mg of suboxone a day. I took oxycodone 50mg a day for 10 days then went back to taking 1mg of suboxone a day for 4 days .5mg for 4 days then .25 for 4 days and I was good to go. I kept asking my doctor for 2mg strips but they wouldn't do it. They said it was too fast of a taper. By going to the doctor for subs it took me 4 years to go from 24mg a day to 16mg a day. Taking a 8mg suboxone makes you feel high and you shouldn't be getting use to suboxone making you feel that way. You will have some serious withdrawal if you go cold turkey from 2mg of suboxone a day. Take the lowest dosage to get rid of your opioid withdraw and get off the suboxone as fast as you can. If you don't you'll just be stuck being dependent on having insurance to pay for the subs and being dependent on your doctor and your pharmacy.

This post is a little old so I imagine you got your business worked out. But if not I'm here to tell you that what this dude is talking about is absolutely true. Obviously one method isn't going to work for everyone. But I've done this exactly as this dude mentioned and it worked for men. Try minimal withdrawals. This is for getting off subs, getting off dope you can do the same (take the .5 sun and cut it up and 4 days later Ben cool. But if you've been on subs for awhile it's def easier to get back on pills in low doses and then sub your way off like you should have done when you first stopped doing dope.

No its not. Only the Agelisic effect, respiratory suppression it is

You are correct about that,im doing the same thing

I am on 2mg suboxone and want to get off as well, I am on it for pain and works great but I hate what it does to me personally...I can just hang by myself for days on end and do nothing but watch tv or sit on computer...I hate it...do not go on anything else to go off it, keep taking less and less till done. start at 1.5 mg for a week, then 1mg for a week, then .5mg for a week, then .5 every other day for a week, then every third day for a week, then every 4th day for a week and so on...hard to do but have to be strong...trust in the Lord to help you through it

I'm here to tell you Mr. know it all that everyone is different. I have been stuck on opiates and opoids for over ten years. There is a very big difference in the withdrawals. Opoids are manmade and they also have a horrible blocker in them that will make you so sick when you withdrawal. I have been hospitalized 4 times trying to be that big girl and cowgirl up. Didn't work very well. Oh and it only takes 4 days to smack me in the face so that shows you everyone's different. I was right back at it. The only time my withdrawals were not bad is when I reverted back to opiates and not for long just long enough to get that nasty c**p out of me. I did taper down from 8mg before doing so to 2mg of Suboxone a day for months.It didn't happen over night. Then I waited a few days and started the Percocet back when I felt the time was right. Only one 10 mg a day. Guess what homeboy? It's a lot easier and half of you people on here are just addicts like him and myself. Only apparently we are smart enough to want to stop. So low and behold all your comments. This man knows what he's doing in order to make it less painful on himself so he can get off of them. In which if he is doing it this way he should make it. What makes that so stupid? It's what helps and it's way way easier to stop taking a Percocet 10mg a day then coming of even 2 mg subs a day. You actually withdrawal in small amounts the lower you go. So what makes him so stupid for doing it the easy way. Like I said I've been an addict of any drug you can name and The manmade Opiods were the worst ever. So I will make it easier for myself also because I have a life to continue instead of being layed up for weeks so sick I can't go anywhere.

Completely agree. I see no reason in making it harder on yourself with the withdrawals. I have been hospitalized 4 times trying to quit. This is the only method that worked for me. Tapering down for a few months and then reverting back but only in small doses and only until you think that stuff is out of you. Worked for me. The only thing that ever worked for me. I don't care if your only on 2mg of that nasty stuff when you quit you will know what dope sick is.

I was on Suboxone for five years.It was impossible to get of Suboxone. Then I had an operation that put me on oxycodon for one month.It was much easier to get off oxy.

I am coming off 1mg Suboxone, I came down from 8mg over 2 years. Today is day 7 and it's slowly starting to get better. I recommend reading this post I found that really helped me "see the light at the end of the tunnel". Good luck in your journey!

I agree with how you kicked it! But you don't need to be on pills for two months, but how he kicked it with the half film and tampering down with the pills is

your not being nice! you really shouldn't make fun of people. what if that was you!?

So I'm trying to get clean from opiates, finally and for for good, after about fours years of fairly steady usage. My story begins likes most: chipping with percs, then on to 30 mg blues which I'd divide into quarters, then halves – always just swallowing the pills btw. Fast forward to last month when I was up to between 150 - 200 mgs of oxy (blues) a day.

Over the years, while waiting for pills, I'd use kratom 2 or 3 times a day, then I discovered suboxone, and would use that, maybe 4 mg or 2 mg, while waiting for the blues, but never for more than a week.

On March 31, I decided enough is enough. I ran out of blues, almost out of money, and decided now is the time. On March 31, I swallowed my last pills, procured 2 and a half 8 mg sub strips and began my detox journey. On April one I took 4 mg sub with the mindset to start tapering immediately.

Was using sub every other day and also a fair amount of alcohol and some MJ. A week after my last pill, I was a little high and drunk... I looked at my two kids (4 and 2), and just started sobbing. I then came clean to my wife that I need help.

While tapering down to .5 of sub I was hating the way it made me feel. I was in acute WDs every day and miserable. I decided subs are evil, and can't fathom being on them for YEARS like some people are...so I googled around and stumbled upon a site with someone suggesting using short-acting opiates to "rip the sub off the receptors" and then detox from the blues.

It made sense at the time, and I only bought 15 from the dealer, who said goodbye to forever. I texted my other source for pills as well and told him I'm out of the game. But after 3 days of using the blues and no sub, I'm regretting it. Just so confused.

Here's where I'm at: Today is Friday, I last took 1 mg sub on Sunday. I started on low dosing of blues on Tuesday, but of course ramped up to 90 mgs yesterday. Today I woke up feeling WDs, so have been on blue pieces spaced out throughout the day so far.

I have a total of 2 mg sub broken up into about .5 pieces, eyeballed. I have 4 blues left. I have a fair amount of kratom. I have MJ and booze, of course, and access to anything OTC.

I want to be free of this opiate addiction nightmare and vicsious cycle. How would you advise me going forward based on the above? Any help/advice is greatly appreciated. I'm a 41 year old father of two, btw, and I need to be present and well enough to care for them, and I need to be functional for work. I've decided I am NOT going to buy any more pills or sub strips to get through this. Or Ever again for that matter.

Thank you for reading and thank you in advance for any advice you may have!
