I lost all my replies !!! Suboxone withdrawal

Hi, I posted a few days ago and some wonderful people responded to me. My problem is all my replies got deleted somehow ! This is what i wrote. If someone remembers me please reply again. I need your support !
Hello, I am desperately trying to get off suboxone. I am all alone in this, so I would greatly appreciate if someone can tell me how to taper off. I am getting them off someone who gets them from a DR. I can't go to a doctor myself, because I don't want every Dr I go to to know. Now a days when I go to a Dr they ask me about meds I took that I didn't even tell them about. It's all computerized ! I don't want it in my insurance profile. They say HIPPA protects me, but how am I protected if every Dr I go to has access to all the meds I'm taking? I'm not talking about controlled substances either, antibiotics, foot cream for athletes feet ect.!!!    I am currently taking an 8mg strip and cutting it into 8 pieces. I can't stand the way I feel on them anymore, and I want my life back. I have anxiety with the dose I'm on but yet I can't sit in a meeting without falling asleep ! I will deal with the anxiety, I don't want to increase my dose, I want to reduce it ! Do you think I should cut my dose in half and take it twice a day? Would that make a difference? I know they say suboxone has a long afterlife, but I tried to not take any at all yesterday, and all I wanted to do was sleep, but yet I had anxiety. When I took 1mg I felt better.  Can someone please answer me, I notice some people don't get answers even when they are desperate, which I am ! Thanks  for taking the time to read this !!!

Here's your the thread that you are looking for:

http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Addiction-Substance-Abuse/Getting-off-Suboxone/show/2038928#post_9641119

What happens on the forum is that the first page we all see only holds 20 posts....and as there is activity....the older ones drop to the 2nd page, etc.
So, if you want to stick with your original thread....you just page thru until you find it and as soon as you post a new comment on your thread, it bumps it back to the top of the first page.

What are you wanting feedback on tonight?  How can we help?
