I was on buprenorphine for a little over a year. Sublingual. I lowered the dose over time with my Dr's consent. Finally I was down to 2 mg a day.....then 1/2 of that....and the last for days at 1/4 of a 2 mg subutex. I think i should have stayed on 1/4 of 2 mg for months not days. I was a freaking mess for a week. I might as well have been kicking dope...yet of course I have been living a regular life for a year,I know what is going into my body, i was under a Dr's care, he helped later with clonidine (didn't help really) and now Klonopin and Ambien to sleep. In the past when I took Ambien to sleep I needed one. This time, initially at first I needed two. I couldn't eat for a week....it was NOT EASY....but i am now an opiate free man....YAHOOOOOOO! Yeah for me...just goes to show you...IT CAN BE DONE...if I can do it anyone can.....
thought I'd share...
