Hi, I'm totally new to anything like this...but I need some support. I am a pretty well educated 30 year old woman who's basically started suboxone. So, does anyone have suggestions how to taper? I will start 1/2 pill (1mg) tomorrow and have 30 pills left. I am not going to ask the dr. because she is the one who told me to stop at 2mg in the first place and WOW that was horrible. Also, when I do wean down.....is there a benefit to taking it every OTHER day or something like that? I know it has a long half-life.
Plus....I also need encouragement to do this!!!! I have many friends...but they do not know what I am going through. I lost my husband a year and 1/2 ago who left me with a beautiful son to take care of by myself. I can't afford to go through withdrawals! Keep trying to taper off, but need help! Thank you to those who reply..and for those of you in a similar situation...you are not alone!!!!

Check your other post on Suboxone Withdrawals. I posted there with some suggestions. You can skip some days, but don't do it yet. There is no rush. Read the reply on your other post. I can help you with this. I have used Sub and stopped with no problems.
