I have been on a Suboxone maintenance for over 10 years and desperately want to no longer take this medication. I had been routinely taking 16mg a day, 8mg in the morning and 8mg in the late afternoon. However, a few weeks back I became determined to get off the medication so I dropped my dose down to 6mg. For the past two weeks, I've taken 2mg in the morning and 6mg in the afternoon.
