4th day off methaone

So iam on my 4th day and didnt really feel withdrawls till yesterday but they werent bad atall. Ive slept ok aswell. I had tapered down from 95ml to 0.8ml in a year. But my question is will withdrawls kicking worse on day 5?

From the sounds of it you did such a good taper, I would think that w/d's are going to be milder than had you not tapered.  It took me to feel the full effects of w/d around day 4 off of suboxone but I didn't taper!!!  Thats the key to a less satanic w/d.
Kudos to you on your damn good job tapering!

Well done on coming off suboxone. I tried it twice and failed its one of the most horrible withdrawls ive even experianced. How long did it take you to feel normal again?

Keep that Positive Thinking. You did do a nice slow taper, so physically you might be safe, but just beware of the mental that might come in & out. This is the part that can break or make some. It is the part in which your Brain Chems are adjusting back from a long time of using. I too came off the Methadone, plus 2 other meds added to the mess, back in 2012. My w/ds kicked in bad after 10 days, but I was given around 3 strips of Subs and was supposed to take it for a long time. I only took a small amount for around 3-4 days and this just threw my w/ds in high gear all at once. I am sure you will be fine considering you did taper for so long. I could not taper and got down from a high dose to 30mg and jumped. No comfort meds or vit/min to take either. Och! It was not fun at all, and it went on for a very long time, but I also used for a very long time and was way older when I took this leap of Faith. Keep stepping forward no matter what gets in your way. Always wear your Armour at all times against this beast of Addiction. Good going and good luck. Hope you consider some aftercare too!
Bless

Congratulations. Keep up the Good work. And make sure to keep your guards up all the time, until it becomes a second nature, while you feel blessed to have kicked the habit

5th day. I amost feel 100% if thats even possible. I feel so lucky to have came out the other end basiclly withdrawl free as even though i tapered down so low i expected it to be a little harder than its been. Yeah i tried the whole suboxone thing twice they were the most horrible withdrawls ive ever had plus i had little support at the time and lended up relasping but ive been done things different this time and am determind that wont happen
