Of course you can be angry with your suboxone doctor. And I’m sorry you’re having a hard time getting off of it. Have you tried tapering? Maybe you can tell us how you’ve gone about it thus far and perhaps we can help you out. Suboxone is an excellent tool, but it isn’t a cure for addiction. And we were already addicted when we got on suboxone, so we really already had the withdrawals coming to us, right? At least that’s the way I look at it. Plus it was practically impossible to taper off our DOC, but it is possible to taper off suboxone.
Anyway, if you don’t mind, could you tell us how you’re taking your sub and your sub dosing history and we’ll try to help you out with the best way(s) to taper down. If done slowly with very small dose drops and get very low there should be much less discomfort from both acute and post-acute withdrawals.
We’re here to support you through this. And I surely don’t blame you for being angry at your doctor for misleading you. You’re certainly not the only one. Unfortunately, doctors are under-educated when it comes to suboxone – especially with regard to how to taper a patient off.
Let’s see if we can’t help you out a little bit.
