Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.

After long and regular intake of opiods, it tends to cause physical dependence which leads to these withdrawal symptoms. Weaning off these drugs or detoxofication is important in order to avoid unpleasant and few dangerous side effects. This is best done under the supervision of a psychiatrist who would address all your concerns as and when you encounter any problems during the process.

A psychiatrist can assess your status and advise you accordingly regarding when and how you can stop taking suboxone.

Hope your query is answered.
