How long will my subutex withdrawal last?

I have been on 8 MG of Subutex (not suboxone) for about 7 weeks.. I am going to stop cold turkey tomorrow. Does anyone know how long my withdrawal will last and how bad it will be? I have heard withdrawal from Sub is milder than say.. vicodin or oxy.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

So what you're telling me is, I would have the same withdrawal of someone that was on sub for 5 years even if I was on it for 2 months? Doesnt make sense

I was on them for only two months roughly, It may not be bad. I was tapering but to be honest I got impatient and I just wanted to start the sh** and get it over with. Im sure it will be a little rough but you never know, everyone's different..It may not be that bad. I have heard it isnt as bad as a full opiate agonist such as oxy..which I jumped from 80 mg's a day cold turkey and survived. The reason I moved here about 600 miles away from home, where I know nobody..was ultimately to do this. It will be painful but I will survive. Might be able to get my hands on a vicodin or norco maybe halfway through to ease it up a bit

Don't really have a choice, I am out of them and I moved out of state and am not in a position to get anymore. I will tough It out, I know it will suck but Im not going to sit around and cry about it. It is what it is.
