Question Has anyone actually gotten off of Suboxone?

Has anyone that took suboxone or subutex actually quit it? Without trading it for another addiction, and been off it for at least 6 months?

If so, how long were you on it, and how much were you taking right before you quit?

Thumbs up Off Suboxone

Just a quick note to answer your questions.

I was on Suboxone for over 4 years. I tapered slowly off of it. I have been Sub free since September of 2007. At the end of the maintenance I was down a tiny piece every 3-4 days.

I think I was on it the longest of anyone I've read about. But I have not relapsed back into the insanity of my addiction to opiates. I consider myself a Suboxone success story, for today.....

ChrisNev.. I know someone who has been. I will see if she will post. I was on sub for 14 months and just recently had to have surgery and went off of it but I transitioned of it onto pain medication so I am no help but I will see if she can help you with your questions.
