Tear3jerker, your post is very interesting. It reminds me of a guy who was on this forum for a short time who had major medical problems and said he had detoxed off of various opiates and Suboxone several times. One thing I remember him saying was that after the first time with Suboxone, it was the emotional, not physical, withdrawals that were the worst. I went off Sub briefly at 2mg and I almost can’t recall the physical symptoms, but the crushing depression was so bad that I had to go back on. I’m on 2mg now and I’m doing prettty well, but yesterday, right in the middle of making supper, I had this moment of raw fear and despair. It only lasted a minute, but it was so awful that I’m thinking if that is what going off of Sub is going to be like I’m not gonna be able to take it.

you arent alone. i have more bouts of crying and anxiety and fear now on this stuff-out of nowhere!
i am going to gladly take something to help with that so i dont go insane when i jump.
i will let you know when i get to 2mg-hopefully about 6 weeks from now. im going to take my time this time. i tapered from 8-2 in like a month. not good.
