Unhappy Tapered all the way down to 0.4mg (x2) tablets a day, Any advice would be helpful

Current Regime:
Subutex 0.4mg tablets (x2 tablet a day)
Swim has been on the subutex treatment for over 5 years

Hi,

I'm glad SWIM has found this forum, SWIM thought he was alone in all this. Bit of history about him, he was a Crack and Heroin addict for about 3-4 years then got professional help and went onto a Subutex treatment, he was started off near 22 mg a day, then over the years has managed to taper all the way down to under 1mg (2x 0.4mg tablets a day).

He was ready to quit Subutex 3 years ago and has attempted to jump from the tablets many times before but couldn't bear the withdrawal symptoms. SWIM attempts every year and always fails. then has to leave it for a while because of work commitments and university.

He has found as years go by the withdrawal pains seem to getting more intense at the current dosage. why is this???

Swim has decided December is the best time to try the jump again. but is scared, dreading the unbearable pains, sleepless nights, leg cramps :'(

Now after reading this forum, he has decided to try some Kratom and benadryl and try get some clonidine from his doctors to aid him in the detox. but doubts the doctor will prescribe him anything

swim is desperate to come clean, he knows once he is clean he will never go back to heroin or crack, he is over that.

Has anyone quit subutex after over 5 years on it? please share your experiences,

SWIM is so scared of going through the withdrawal
