hey Swarmy,

I am also quite interested in suboxone detox. I am on week 7 of the program and am inevitably starting to worry about the detox. The suboxone site claims it is somewhat milder than some other opiates, but as eddie said, it will certainly vary from person to person. I don't know how to add links to my reply, but there is a great suboxone site that has many threads dealing with wd. Some bad, some good. The best dvice I've read is to taper slowly - some folks are at 0.5mg per day, and then hope for the best. I feel that it will not be as bad as heroin or oxy detox, at least in the mental aspect, as we have been giving some time to get our lives in order, get therapy and work programs to prepare us for life without sub.

Hang on, let me find the opiate detox wesite and I'll try to post it.

OK - see if this works: http://www.heroin-detox.com - then find the forum on sub/bup and look for detox threads. Maybe someone a little more computer literate could repost it?

Ah ha!, I just checked and it works.
Go the bup/sub forum and read away!

Let me know how things work out for you & how you're doingin general!

Much Love: SS
