thanks for the replies guys.
I just got my last prescription tuesday.. paid the doctor and my counselor for the last time. I told the counselor i’ll continue to see her but I think I’ll probably just drop in once or twice a month. they really want you to continue seeing the counselor after words.. and I could understand that if my counselor actually helped.. but half the time she’s talking about herself.. and she’s never used herself. (I had to explain what opium/poppy seeds and fentanyl was to her) so it’s kinda pointless for me.. and honestly i’ve been on subs for around 1.5 years now.. so my mindset is on track and i’m just ready to be off this crap.
I got 14 8mg strips to taper off with.. and i’m on 1/4 (2mg) of it now. I tried going from 1/3 of the strip down to 1mg.. the first day i felt fine.. but the next days i felt pretty crappy. I probably could have went a few more days and been fine but I had to work and just took another little square which made it 2mg.. so the past 3 days i’ve been on stable 2mg.. and feeling great.
I think I’m gonna wait until next saturday (don’t work for a few days after saturday) and try dropping to 1mg again.. and see how that goes.
I’m gonna checkout Rmac tapering thread and try and post my own taper plan in here later with what I got left.. and gonna try and figure what vitamins and stuff to take when I do jump off.. I do have some loperamide for the craps and some flexeril in case I can’t sleep.. but I don’t want to rely on the flexeril too much.
