Hello, I am brand new and had no intention of posting for a while. But, I came to this forum to find this exact thread, and I already cheated… meaning I paged through real fast to the likely happy ending it does seem! How great to read the last page of what seems to be a very thoughtful successful taper, RMac ? I think I got your name almost right. Thank-you so much. This is a model I will want to try and I greatly appreciate how meticulous you are in your details. And there is going to be an amazing wave waiting for you. Real quick, I have a 4 year history of chronic pain. Been on low dose Methadone for it for a few months when Kadian failed, but I have side effects that are terribly bothersome, and I want to go off to see what my baseline pain is and search other non-opiate options. I chose Suboxone after I couldn’t even take any clonodine, baclofen to help w/d symptoms. I’d get way too dizzy etc. And, on my own I figured that I have unfortunately been in low grade withdrawal for about 2 years. My symptoms were profuse sweating at night, tinnitus and searing bone pain. I was on a low dose of Methadone, 15 mg a day and my pain was controlled, but I didn’t want to increase due to tolerance so I suffered through it, and then my dr.s were worried about new neuropathic pain stuff. Anyway, here I am on day 2 of Subox and since I can’t sleep yet I am looking for this exact thread. So kind thanks and now..maybe a much needed nap. I am on a 3x a day dosing of a total of 6 mg so I’d like to follow your path, I do hope. In the meantime, I hope a lovely wave greets you and you’ll have a great ride. Thanks, Anita
