Hi Geoff!
I'm in the same boat too! I'm on 2mg of suboxone a day prescribed by my doctor. My plan is to wean off it very slowly when I'm ready. I've been taking it for about a year now and I'm ready to get off it.
You should talk to stopdropburn, he really helped me with his advice and he has been off suboxone for over 10 days now.
I think the main thing we have to realize is there is going to be some discomfort from anything we are taking into our bodies on a daily basis. Try to wean down to .5 a day and then just bite the bullet and stop, I heard the first week is not that great but once you make it past that you will get better.
Everyday will get better but you have to be patient. The first week off the suboxone will be hard but you can do it! There are many success stories on here so it is possible to do! It's what motivates me even more!
When I dropped from 4 to 2 I felt awful but now my body has adjusted. I think you just have to take it slow and try to be consistent.
You CAN do it! I wish you luck and I'm here if you need any support
