Hi CaliGuy and welcome to the forum. We’re not doctors here (except for Dr. Junig), but maybe we can try to assist you. I’ll say the same thing sweet16 did – it’s best to get a sub doctor for legitimate sub treatment. But that’s up to you. In the meantime, let’s look at your dosing. You went from 8 (mg), to 6, 2, 4, and now at 3. Everyone does a short sub detox/taper differently. I’d say yours is as good as any. It’s going to be quick and I’d say there might be some discomfort even though you’re using the sub still. You’re trying to minimize the withdrawals as much as possible. Anyway, from 3 mg, I’d go to 2 and then slow down a bit – you might even do 2.5 first. Then from 2 mg I’d go to 1.5 and drop slower still from there. Especially if you’re a bit uncomfortable like you’ve described. This will just give yourself a bit more time to adjust.
Now I haven’t done this kind of a taper myself, this is just based on what I’ve learned from other people. And I’ll say it again – I’m NOT a doctor nor medical professional of any kind. So take my words with a grain of salt and with that in mind.
I hope this helps. Keep us posted on how you’re doing.
