I think I am going to stay on them for quite some time yet. I still, after almost 8 months, feel the urge. Not that I would act on it, it's just there. So my plan is to stay on until I know 100% in my mind I can handle not being on the medicine. _________________ You only get so many second chances....Take the first one!

I'm afraid. I don't want to go back to that kind of life. It's so humiliating. asking my 79 yr old Aunt if I could have some of her Vic's, knowing that she needed them. So I'm not going to even think about quitting Sub.

For me I wanted to be off in 1 yr. and my doctor wanted that too. I stopped at .25mgs for five days with minor issues. But I've struggled with this disease for 20 yrs so I found a doctor that does believe in maintenance and am back on sub. Not worrying about tapering has made my recovery easier.
You need to do whats right for you.
I've just started taking Suboxone about a week ago and I just want to hug my Doctor and thank him for saving my life. I've been struggling with a Vicodin and Ultram addiciton since 2001. Because Vicodin was getting harder to get I swiched over to Ultram. It took those incredibly painful detox pains away but it had a very very dangerous side effect ( which ofcourse didn't think applied to me) of causing seizures. After my third seizure ( about 3 weeks ago ) I couldn't take it anymore and forced myself to see a doctor about it. Thank God I did. For the past week on Sub. I've felt great. I've tried many times over the past seven years to quit but it always snuck back into my life. Now on Sub, I have no desire whatsoever to take any pills. I don't even think about them anymore. So amazing. I don't know exactly how long I will need to be on them but until I'm off them for good, I'm going to enjoy my life again without pills.

I'd like to be off this much sooner than later.
Don't know what it is exactly, but it doesn't feel right somehow.
It works as far as withdrawal issues, and getting my mind off the whole circus, but somewhere I'm not totally sold on the trade.
I'm at 8 mg, and I commend the person that got down to .25, but that in itself is somewhat alarming. It must be a very potent drug.
