Although suboxone can be addictive,if you use it for only a few days and taper the amt each time until your finished,you shouldn't have any withdrawl symptoms. i took them for two mon ths straight and didn 't have any withdrawl after I stopped but I did start taking opiates 2 days after that because I just couldn 't quit my habit.I might be different though because i have heard of ppl getting sick from not having them but I'm sure you have to be abusing them inorder to get into a detox ya know. Hopefully you will be fine since you seem to be doing it in a good manner. I wish you the best of luck in your recovery and just take it one day at a time. Good luck

Yes unfortunately suboxone is usually used for a period of time along with counciling and group therapy. After you run out you are still going to want your lortab,the problem is you can take as many as you like but you want feel them because the suboxone will block it out,it might take up to 2 weeks to even feel a lortab and even then you want feel it much. If you had better finances you should find a sub doc and get off of the lortabs for good. But it would take longer than a couple weeks and more than jus taking meds,you need counciling as well as support group. Gooluck
