Did your doctor say what the rationale is for dropping from 14 to 0?
Did he say to reestablish your dose if you experience w/d? I would think the precipitation of w/d only to resume sub in three days would be risky. But there may well be an established precedent and appropriate reason.
I have not heard of this in my dealings with suboxone patients, and my personal experience was only 5 days.
I am very interested in hearing from people who received the same directive from a doctor, so I (we?) can be helpful to others in the future.
Thanks for posting this, it's a totally new one on me.
