I have been on sub for about a year and a half. Started at 20mg then a few steps down to 8 then a few more to 4 and have been at 4 for about 4 months. my doc is starting to push me down to 2mg and said she’ll leave me alone at that dose (she said that at 4 too lol). At this point I really dont see myself completly off sub for a long time as it really pasifies the monkey and allows me to live a normal life without fear of relapse nor do I see an oportunity anytime in the near future when I can afford to go through the process of getting off completly. So if 2 mg is the magic number for now then I’m game. 4mg was a good dose as I was able to dose twice a day and that allowed me to do all I had to do without excessive aches and pains and the whole "passify" thing. I get this feeling though, for some reason, at 2mg/day the analgesic qualities will be reduced and I will be more like normal (whatever that is) and old thoughts may resurface. From those that have spent significant time around the dose I am at and going to. Can you give me some insite on your experience. I have been an addict for 25 years and sub has worked well for me. Its not broke so I dont want to fix it but being on the lowest possible dose and still reaping the benefits seems logical.
