subutex withdrawel

I have been treated by subutex for nearly one year, 12 days ago i stopped the treatment.
to be able to take such a decision, i made a trip far away from Rome to Thailand, it helped me a lot being out of my routine for such a change.
i spent the whole week there sick , dizzy, diarrhoea,acid taste in my mouth,sweating while being cool, fatigue, long sleeping hours and too much insomnia,
day 10 came back home and till today still the same syndroms.
My young brother whom accompained me to my trip to Thailand had similer sikness there, but now we are back,he is fine and im still feeling the same.
Could it possibly be from subutex, because im starting to wonder if i have caught any bactiries during my vacation to Thailand. Are my sindroms deja vu. how long should it last more?

some/most taper down to crumbs of sub..slivers...this drug was orignianlly used in mexico as a pain med and prescribed at  0.2 mgs////which is a tenth of a 2 mg tablet of sub..packs poweer and some go to tiny crumbs and slivers before jumping off
U have 12 days behind u...ur dose was never super high....4 mgs is not huge compared to peeps on 32 or 24 mgs/keep moving forward now..u r so close but it could be wds that u feel
dunno,..we r all different..u seemed to have had control over this taper the past year..and u r done!  congrats!  read the thomas recipe and the health pages//sub is a narcotic so the same rules and supps apply and can also help u wioth nrg, sleep etc

keep posting and congrats JOKER!
