I just stopped taking Suboxone a month ago. I had been on it for two years. I got on it to come off of Oxy in 2013. I have mixed feelings about subs bc I know that they really helped me back then, however it can become a crutch and you want them in place of the OC's. I think it's very admirable to quit cold turkey. I also stopped taking my benzos and my Paxil, all in the same week. It was hellllll and it's still been hard emotionally, a month later. Pills are so hard to stop doing but you can do it! I didn't ever think I could stop. Keep trying just literally take it one minute, one hour, one day at a time. Thinking about it like that helped me. I also tried to just lie down for awhile of the anxiety got too bad.
