I don’t believe we’ve met but I’ve been here about a year or so and we must have just missed each other.
Almost the same thing happened to me. My new doctor was surprised that I was still on a maintenance dose of 4mgs after 15 months being on Sub. He normally gets his patients off by six months, so I knew I had to keep tapering and wasn’t going to be allowed to stay at my comfortable 4mgs. And like you, it was a good kick in the rear. I have no problem getting off of Sub and had planned on it anyway. Just didn’t really think about it until he made me. The only reason I tapered so low was due to feeling so sleepy on higher doses. Heck, I still feel sleepy on 1.5 to 2mgs.
So it did turn out okay for you and your doctor sounds like he knows what he’s doing. Isn’t it hard to leave the comfort of your first Sub doc?
Nice to have you back.
