Tapering Down From Suboxone
(Newest replies first)

Updated

My daughter stole four of my 8 mlg tablets. Of course she denies it but that's a different story. I have been on subs for years due to an option addiction I had due to a back injury. Anyway, I only take 4 mlg a day. I don't see my dr until wed and now I only have enough to take 2mlg a day. Will this be ok to taper from 4mlg to 2mlg for a few days?

If you do so, you may experience some minor withdrawal symptoms due to the sudden drop in dosage, which may include nausea, diarrhea, rebound pain, rebound headache, tremors, sweating, chills, and fever.

Ref: Opioid Withdrawal Information

Although your symptoms shouldn't be as bad as they would if you stopped taking it entirely.

However, the best thing to do would be to report the theft to the police, and give a copy of their report to your doctor, though I know when it concerns your child, that is very hard to do.

How are you feeling? Did you experience any problems?

Did you go through any withdrawal? If so how bad was it?
