I am looking for robert325 (or I hope that's correct). After being only a reader on this site for years, I've decided it's time to once and for all find a successful way to taper. He seems genuinely concerned and knowledgeable while being positive. I have scared myself silly reading everyone's posts, which I need to move on from. I've been on and off of suboxone since 2007. I've gotten down from 16mgs to 4mgs. With the help of a new doctor.  I haven't been able to get lower. Think I do it too soon therefore feeling like crap. If someone can help me locate Robert I would be so very grateful!

Thanks for the info but most of all for your words of encouragement! I'm going to continue reading positive comments and ask questions as needed. Just reading that you've accomplished so much is so comforting to me. I appreciate you taking time to reply! I can do this! I just need to get a tapering schedule on paper and go for it! Have a wonderful night! Congrats by the way for your success!

Im sorry, Robert is no longer around, however there are plenty of people who can help you! I used to hover around this site also. I too, have been on subs for over 5 years. I started on 16mg, and have gotten down to .33/day without any symptoms. I have always just listened to my body. I would lower my dose, and if i felt like crap I would take a small peice to even things out. You can do it. I think a lot more has to do with your mind. As you get lower, you will feel better and better!!!! You can do this!!!!
