The way to minimize or avoid the protracted withdrawal syndrome when tapering off of Suboxone is to taper slowly. Patients usually have the most difficulties with the low doses at the end of the taper. At this point, patients should be tapered by 0.5mg or by 0.25mg every two to four weeks.

Thank-you for posting a response to my video.

I actually refer patients to a licensed acupuncturist and board certified herbologist. The herbs in chinese medicine are prescription medications. A customized blend of herbs is prescribed by the herbologist for each individual patient. My patients have reported great benefit from oriental medicine treatments.

while I respect your understanding as many doctors unfortunately do not when it comes to using suboxone for detoxification from other opiates/opiods, the reality is there is IMO much more to understand about how buprenorphine actually binds to the mu receptors, yet why certain herbal plants can indeed bypass those receptors when trying to get off suboxone and help with the WD process. There is no safe way of getting off any drug, even long term suboxone treatment for some.
