Hi @buckhout324, welcome. I moved your question to this existing discussion:

As you likely know, tapering off Suboxone can be an uncomfortable and lengthy process. I'm really sorry to hear that your son is not being guided on how to taper by his prescribing doctor. I wonder if this article might provide a helpful starting place as you gather information:
- How to Taper Off Suboxone https://www.therecoveryvillage.com/suboxone-addiction/suboxone-taper/
Laura, may I ask, was your son using Suboxone to taper off stronger opioids and now wishes to also removed the dependence on Subonxone? Do you live close to your son? How are you doing?

Yes he was put on Suboxone to relieve the addiction to opioids. My husband and I live in New Jersey about 1 and 1/2 hrs from him. I wish we knew that Suboxone was addictive also but that is water under the bridge. He has tried to drop to 2mg but it was so difficult. Thanks for your response! I really appreciate it. We are doing okay but this has always been a worry for us.
