Sweet16 - 1.25 mg Switched to dosing twice daily

Hey guys, I have been at 1.25 mg for 10 days or more. I take my dose in the morining pretty early. I even wake up sometimes extra early so when I get up for good, I do not feel so bad. I have noticed that come evening I feel like crap. I decided to split my dose into 2 times daily. I am at such a small dose and I plan to be OFF sub very soon. I do not see this making much of a difference other than reducing my crappy feeling at night. I may go off in January. My Birthday is on the 17th so, I may stop before that. Anyway I slept better lastnight. (I did have an extra .75 mg in the eve) When I woke up I took just .75. I will do this a few more days to see if it is any different. I will at some point, stop taking one of my daily doses and even go every other day, every 3 days and on till I stop all together. I am wondering if anyone else has done this when they were tapering and when they were so close to being off? I will keep you posted. Thank you all for the wonderful support. AND Happy Holidays!!!

Hey Sweet,

Have you seen Laddertippers thread regarding her getting off of Suboxone, I think it's titled "I Am S.T.U.C.K.", it would be in the Stopping Suboxone section.

I believe that thread of hers starts with her around the 1mg or 1.5mg mark?? She then pretty much chronicles her way off of Suboxone.

If memory serves, she spilt her dose at one point, then ended up going back to once daily dosing when she got lower?? Ah heck, I can't remember, try finding her thread, it's a good one.

BTW, I think she's got about 3 months off of Suboxone now.

16 - It's actually recommended (by Junig) to split your doses when you get down to those low doses like you're on. The long half life simply doesn't apply at those low, low doses. So, yes, I believe you're doing the right thing.

If you're at 1.25, then you can still continue to taper down lower. I think ladder went all the way down to 1/16th? Something like that...so that when she was done, she didn't "jump" off, she quietly, stepped off.

Keep up the good work...you're doing great. Remember, the lower and slower you go, the less withdrawals (acute AND post-acute) that you'll have, so try not to rush yourself.
