Default Anything to reduce Subutex Withdrawal?

I am tapering off Subutex. I was taking 20mg a day and now I am down to 8mg a day. I am getting hot flashes and sweats, restless legs, and trouble sleeping. I was wondering if there is anything I can take to ease the symptoms ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you jumped from 20 to 8 too fast if you are experiencing these kinds of W/D. Read posts by Robert_325 and Musicman to get a handle of how the taper should work. Do it right away...DO NOT put yourself through the discomfort if you don't have to. Read my posts by clicking on my name to see what I have gone through. I did not think I would make it. I did but it was the worst medical experience of my life. Best of luck to you.

eric ... go to the following link. This explains how to taper off subs properly. If after reading the link you want my help let me know. You're not tapering properly I can promise you. God bless.

I just found out that I am going to do Ibogaine Treatment in a about a month. I am going to stay at my comfortable dose of subutex until then. I am only 17 years old and I have so much going on I cannot afford to go with withdrawals. I was very skeptical about Ibogaine but my mom and I have done a good deal of research and it seems to be pretty succesful.
