Like VI said...if your going to taper, start taking the vitamins and amino acids now to start getting yourself ready. Eating healthy and starting an excercise program NOW...so that when it's time to jump, your ready. The suboxone taper HAS to be very slow and steady! It's definatly a hare race not the rabbit race. And literally to the lowest mg you can stand, like 1/2 of 1mg. It's not well explained to us when we start the subs that they have a build up effect especially when taken for years. What you were feeling was bad, but the real w/d starts in on day 3/4 b/c it takes that damn long to start coming out. If you taper correctly, you can avoid alot of the w/d. I am an addict, so tapering is not going to happen with me so I chose to go cold turkey. It sucked *** so I'm trying to tell you with everything I have, TAPER with your dr!!!!!!!! I wouldn't wish that w/d on my worst enemy (well......??) lol, taper!
Hi..Good job for wanting your Life back..Have you talked to the DR about a Taper..I have to agree with the above that it is a fast forward drop in mg.
As far as the burspirone are you talking about Buspar or Wellburtin??
I will say that a little over 2 years ago I went c/t from 3 drugs and one was Methadone..They did give me the Subs and I too took them and tore them in small pieces for 4 days..All it did was make me go into precipitated w/ds and made my w/ds worse.(becasue I did not follow the program). I really thank a better taper plan would be much less intense. Also finally after 22 days of no sleep and my Anxiety was on the moon I started to take the Buspar. It is a very Light and I mean Light med that is nonaddictive and used for opiate w/ds. It did nothing for me until about 2 months in. It finally did help calm me down but then I stopped all meds and went all natural.
You did get the amino-acids and that is a good start..Maybe also try getting the Magnesium, Potassium and Cal and try taking it at night too..These 3 vit help calm the muscles down. Also try getting some Protein powder and add some berries..Any thing that is going to help draw out the toxins is good. You can start a good vit/min program while you are tapering..This way your immune system will be stronger. Make sure you eat very Healthy as you get great vit/min from good foods. Make sure you drink TONS of water..You can get some packet vit/min to add to your water. Just hang tight and give this all Time and with Time comes tons of Patience. We did not get addicted over night, so it will take some time for the Brain Chems, Hormones and so on to find a balance. I do wish you the best and sure hope you do look into some outside Support groups.

Thats way to fast of a drop. It must not have been explained to you that to sucessfully get off of subs take a long, slow taper. You can do it the way your trying to but u will be sick. Not trying to scare u, trying to be honest. Thats too fast! Every drop in mg should be done in weeks not days! Info we didnt get when we got on them!!!! I went c/t in jan, 2014, from the same dose your coming off of now. Going as fast as your trying to go i can almost garauntee u, u will be sick.
What mg are the srtips? I am doing this right now. I was on Methadone for 4 months and had to get on a 6 week BOX taper to get off of the methadone. So I was help! What mg?
