Hi Christin, and Welcome back. I’ve been here for almost a year now and am also tapering down. I’m just going to quote what Dr. Junig said on one of his webcam questions. (BTW, check that out when you have time) He said it’s not wise to taper unless your goal is to get off of Suboxone completely. He thinks that there is no reason to deal with cravings until you are ready. The suggestion is 6 months to a year on Sub minimum. You’ve already done that.
So what I’m saying is, you’re on the right track with a deadline already set.
I tapered from 4mg’s to 2 over the last three weeks and that was asking too much. We are moving and are completely stressed out so tapering is not the right time for me, duh. Once I’m settled in the new digs then I can taper and jump. One must have their affairs in order, like you seem to have.
Congratulations on getting down that far again and we all wish you the very best in recovery. Keep posting. We all need to read your plight.
Tom
P.S. If you can’t find the link to Dr. Junig’s Q&A site, I’ll insert it next post.
