Hi aqua,
Good to hear from you again, thanks for the update. So, you’re all the way down at 2mg, WOW, that’s fantastic!! I remember, quite vividly, the horrendous time you had when you first gave tapering a shot. I was honestly pretty worried that that experience was going to put you off tapering for a long while, but NO!!! You jumped right back into it and now you’re at 2mg!!! Very, very impressive.
I know I’ve already said this to you before, but I’m gonna say it again because I think it bears repeating. I had the weird kind of depression feeling during my wd too, like you said, not a full blown depression, but I sure didn’t feel like jumping up and doing cartwheels. I too wrestled with being very emotional for a long time, I could be brought to tears very easily too. I am VERY happy to report that I no longer have to deal with those issues. Right around the one year mark, whatever naggy PAWS symptoms I was still experiencing diminished greatly. It’s quite an amazing feeling to feel real good again, I can honestly say that I didn’t believe I would ever be feeling as well as I am now.
I don’t know if this has anything to do with anything, but we went on vacation during my 1 year anniversary off of Suboxone. My daughter had never seen the ocean, so we all went to the ocean for a week. Anyway, during the last few days of that vacation and ever since, I have felt like my PAWS all basically ended. Kind of hard to explain how quickly those last pesky symptoms disappeared. So, you may want to go on a nice vacation…..it seemed to help me AND now you have the perfect excuse to go somewhere!!! 
Oh Yeah, those PET scans are amazing!!!
