Off the opiates or off the subutex? I quit opiates via Subutex once for several years. At this point, I've been on the sub so long that I know it'd take some time in getting off, but I'm sure it's been done....

Do you really want to get off forever and do you think you will feel the same way in 2weeks, a month, 3 months ect...because I think for me it was about really knowing myself well enough to know that I wont want to be clean in 2 months. But for your question- It has always taken me about 3 months to feel OK (JUST OK!) by then Im heading right back into my habit:)
Maintenance on Soboxone has been extremely helpful (but not perfect_). I have found out that I just have to give in to the urges when they come along and hope I pull it right back together again, and I always do, the soboxone also curbs alot of them. I was on 130 methadone for a long time and it had some bad side effects, soboxone doesnt, also if I have to miss a day or two without it I can still function-just feel very tired.
