Suggest Treatment For Withdrawal Symptoms Of Suboxone

I have been on suboxone for about a year and a half. I have gone from 8mg to just .5 but i still notice withdrawal when I stop. I am a single mom and feeling that way while trying to be present and patient with a 2 yr old has been difficult and I find myself continuing to stay on them even though I want off because of this. Am wondering if switching to a low dose of say tramodal (sp?) for a month or a couple weeks could ease the discomfort greatly and allow the transition that I desire to progress. Am willing to hear any other suggestions also! Thanks

Mem suboxone is used in deaddiction treatment of opioid substances n that's good that you reach suboxone 8mg to 5 mg but still you cannot quite this 5 mg suboxone as you feel withdrwal but you don't mention your withdrawal symptoms...so if you want to quite this tab also first make a strong will power n then for example you take 5mg suboxone /day now start suboxone half tab (5mg) morning n evening continue as one week n if any symptoms are there like bodyache so take medicine for bodyache temporarily acc to your physcian then after next week you can try only half tab of suboxone (5mg) /day...n try one week this course n look for some withdrwal symptoms n take symptomatic treament temporarily after that you either you can switch off low dose tramadol or still you can 1/4 th of tab of suboxol n then permanently stop...try this squence I am sure you can do n quit this things best of luck
