Hi hopewins,
The second person I was talking about is setmefree. She posted right after ClearAqua. So, it would seem that we have a trifecta of 2mg’ers now that hopewins has joined the club too!!!!
Hopewins, you are TOO funny!! You said you feel like the nerd who is trying to fit in……that’s been me my whole life!!!! Honestly, you’re doing just fine.
Ummm, my doctor told me I could jump from 2mg and that I’d only experience 3 days of withdrawal, I laughed so hard when she said that I almost went pee in my pants!!! I knew she was completely out to lunch. Don’t jump from 2mg unless you absolutely can’t taper any lower. Trust me, jumping off Suboxone at too high of a dose is NOT fun…..not fun at all!!!
All of the symptoms you described for where you’re at are perfectly normal. Try not to let them stress you out. Everytime you taper lower, your brain has to adjust to having less opiates being fed to it and it produces the symptoms you’re experiencing……it’s your brains way of saying, "hey, I need more opiates here dude…..can you help a brotha out….NEED OPIATES!!!", but you have to ignore your brain while it’s begging you to feed it opiates. Eventually, it’ll start producing its own natural opiates again, but right now it would rather be lazy and have you feed it some external opiates.
Keep hanging in there, you guys are all doing great!!!
