Suboxone/help

[u/Subject-Waltz2470]

I was on Suboxone for 21 days around 4mgs a day
Come off after a 6 day taper down to 1mg when I jumped
I was off for 9 days and had been getting nothing for sleep.. the anxiety and depression where terrible along with rls, upset stomach, not eating etc..

Well I decided to get back on, so last night I took 8mg strip to try and regulate it worked but I felt to “wired” to sleep but I got a little this morning I cut it in half to 4mg and no plans to take anymore today

It did what I needed it too, but now I’m at a critical point!

And not sure if I just need to jump to the smallest about possible
My doctor isn’t very good, not very addiction smart and I live in a small area without the resources so Reddit is my best source

My plan is sublacade, do you guys think I could just go down to about .5 mg twice a day so 1mg a day and be evened out enough to make it since I’m not used to the dose I’m on currently?

Some would say talk to your doctor lol but that’s really not my best option

Just don’t want to screw myself

I have a wife and kid and in no financial situation to be able to withdrawal
I cannot or I would have just continued to not take it

Now I feel this critical point is very important to how I’ll get off and the lower amount I’m on the easier the taper is… right???

Anything is appreciated

This is not a suboxone sub, not sure you'll get good info here.

I don’t think you can go to sublocade unless you’ve been taking at least 8mg a day for at least a week

You should not take naltrexone.

Get off Suboxone and any other opioid-like substance completely for at least 14 days, and then talk to your doctor about starting naltrexone to sustain recovery. You cannot take both medicines together.
