Well, going from 16mg to 0 is a HUGE drop as far as subs are concerned. It is the addict in you that does not have patience. Us addicts want instant results and instant gratification. It is realistic to think that you could have withdrawals for another week, or more.
I tapered down and still had withdrawals. They lasted longer than when I detox off vicodin. This is definitely a subject that a lot of people on here might not touch because of the "dont give medical advice" rule. Why didnt you taper? Ive heard going to .5mg every two days is best. If I were on 16mg (which is a lot, in my opinion) I would have taken 2 months to taper.
Nonetheless, your choices now are either to stick it out or take like a VERY VERY small amount of the subs to help you. I dont know if that would help or drag it out, though. I understand not wanting to be on the subs long term though. If you want your freedom. this is what you are going to have to go through to get it. You can do this, keep posting!
