Please tell me about tapering off suboxone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: How quickly a Suboxone should be tapered depends on how long you have been on it. When used only for detox, Suboxone can be safely tapered over 3-7 days. When used for maintenance, taper should ideally last several weeks to a few months and even then tapering off the last few milligrams can be tough. Hope this helps. Good luck!
