So I'm trying to skip 2 days now on my suboxone taper and it's been a bit rough. Excessive yawning, some goose bumps, runny nose are the least of my concern.

The ones that are getting me are utter exhaustion but most of all, my muscles are sore like i just started working out or something. Holy crap! And i mean sore!

Still managing at work okay and it seems like the early part of the day is the roughest and then it evens out. Will be glad when this is over.

I must have missed why you're skipping two days Peanut?
I'm no expert by any means, but wouldn't it be better to taper down to nothing?

I will take a dose tomorrow. I've read that in the last days of a taper, people had better luck going from daily to every other day to skipping days. So I'm at the skipping days part!

OK - never heard that before, but As I said - no experience here.

I hope you feel better soon

Yeah, I really wished I had tried it that way when I got off of methadone. I have a feeling it would have gone a bit easier. Who knows, if I wake up tomorrow and I feel ok, maybe I'll try for another day.

Thanks for carrying Dee! =)

Sounds like you are doing really well. And that the super slow taper is working for you. That is terrific! What also sounds good is your mood which is really positive--I think that is what will carry you through. I hope it gets easier and better every day!
