Subutex is great for mental withdrawals as after you've been on it a few months your addicted brain rewires but the physical is unbelievable, far worse than any prescribed opiate medication.  10 day tapers to get you off your doc can be worthwhile though.

Same

5 years ago I did a 10 day 8mg subs taper through Nhs and it went well. 3 years ago I did a 8 month (starting on 8mg) maintenance/taper privately in London and it went well. Now a month ago I tried a taper using 0.2 mg temgesic but it was awful. My last use of dhc was 33 Hours previous and about...

The stuff is so strong and although it stops cravings, it really does fatigue you in a way you can't imagine unless you've been there already. 

Also, re cravings, after being on subs for a while, u genuinely stop craving your doc when you come off it. It really does re-wire your brain. I was on subutex 9 months and at the end and after coming off I didn't crave my doc for the first time n my life. If u get withdrawals or paws or rls...

SL do 0.2 buprenorphine and that's perfect for tapering. I've started 3mg a day for my 12 year rx addiction. I'm only taking 10-14 days worth of subs to get me past withdrawals. Have u tried Paxil? Or paroxitine as we call it here in uk? Very good for anxiety and easy to get off in my opinion...

Same. It was 6 months of pure exhaustion for me until I couldn't take it anymore.

Don't rush, the stuff is so strong. Google Roberts subutex plan as he advises 25% decrease every 4 days then skip days. But u may need to do it over a longer period. I'm doing a short detox off my Doc using bupe. 2.6mg starting dose . 

Subs is buprenorphine and the taper only gets hard from 2mg to 0. 

Yes, I am. It's good for a short taper but not long term. 

It's evil to get off if you've been taking it longer than a couple of months. I was on it 8 months to quit my doc but I liked the feeling of normality it gave me so stayed on it far longer than my dr wanted. I paid a big price for that and was fatigued to the point of not being able to move at...

It's ed-psych's that label students with learning difficulties not teachers. Teachers only make referrals based on observations. A good and professional teacher would never advise parents to consider medication; that's what children's mental health services are for. No need to blame...

I can totally relate to that!  But...be careful, sounds like your habitual use could easily turn into a full blown addiction from what you are saying.  No offence. 

Bitcoin wanted my life story and passport photos although others say some versions of bitcoin aren't as invasive.
