Getting off Subutex Posted: 05-20-08 02:29am
I have been on it for 10months and are
currently on 3mg. I am terrified of
getting off,because even if I skip one
day, I feel anxious, depro and lethargic.
Is there not a way to make it easier. I
know this may sound crazy, but what about
methadone for a few days. I am on the
Subutex for chronic fibro pain.

I would take this up with the doctor that
put you on it. If for some reason you want
off of it, he/she would be the best place
to start. Getting off RX drugs really need
the doctors intervention and aid. As many
must be wheened off of and not cold
turkey. Be on the safe side and don't do
anything on your own OK?
