When Does Withdrawal Effects Of Suboxone Wear Off?

About how long does it take for the worst effects to wear off from cold turkeying suboxone? My doctor is coming down hard and I ve had enough, I can t take his controlling ways since he is coming down hard by an upper authority for being so lenient. I have the privilege of being able to not work while doing this. I just want to know how long it would take before I d start feeling better. Thank you. The dosage is 6mg which is high but I ve been through worse.

There are several different aspects of the withdrawal with the psychological being used to taking something lasting a very long time indeed.
The drug is out of the system in about 1-3 days. The withdrawal starts within that time frame and extends a bit more than a week but the worst symptoms peak by day 5.
