Started Having Suboxone 16mg. Advice To Taper Down To 2mg With Withdrawal?

Hi, I'm looking for advice on how to taper down from 2mgs of suboxone with no withdrawal ? I have all the time I need to do this correctly, just want to be finished with this stuff. I started with 16mgs 1 year ago and have been at 2mgs for 2 months, I haven't had any problems tapering to this dose at all but what guidance from here. Please help me !?!

Hi! Thanks for the query to HCM. Tapering has to be done slowly. Initially take it 6days in a week. Next bring it down to 5times in a week. Then 4 times in a week. Then Alternate days. Observe at which point you will be asymptomatic and stick to that schedule. Take care.
