It depends: Withdrawal symptoms can occur after abruptly stopping any opiate. Such withdrawal symptoms are minimized by following the doctor's instructions and slowly tapering your daily dose over time. It's much easier to discontinue from, for example, one half a milligram per day than eight or even sixteen milligrams per day. My advice is to not believe all those "stories" out there. Good luck.

WHAT IS THE ISSUE?: Great news you are on suboxone. Now why should there be an issue with withdrawal? You will take the Suboxone and then over time be slowly weaned down and then hopefully off. This will take time depending on your dose and also how long you were on drugs. Stick with it. It works and is life changing!
