You decrease your dosage very slowly, over an extended period of time (at least a few weeks, but more like a few months). The slower you do it, the easier it will be. For example, if you are on 16 mgs a day (two 8 mgs pills), take 14 mgs on Sunday, 16 on Monday, 16 on Tuesday, 16 on Wednesday, 14 on Thursday, 16 on Friday, 16 on Saturday, 16 on Sunday, 14 on Monday... In other words, take your regular dose, 16 mgs, three days in a row, and on the fourth day take 14 mgs.
Then, after a few weeks, start taking 14 on Sunday, 16 on Monday, 16 on Tuesday, 14 on Wednesday (16 mgs for two days, then 14 mgs on the third day).
After a few weeks of that, start taking 14 mgs every other day: 14 on Sunday, 16 on Monday, 14 on Tuesday, etc., etc.
After a few weeks of that, you can start going down from 14 mgs to 12 mgs, and so on and so on.

What does taking suboxone after opiates do?
suboxone/subutex is the latest prescription drug that can be substituted in place of another narcotic.. sub stops the horrible withdrawal symptoms when going off a narcotic once you're addicted..unfortunately you are simply replacing one narcotic for another narcotic.. although word is getting off suboxone much easier than getting off methadone, so switching to suboxone to get off methadone and then getting off subutex certainly make sense..in the case of getting off other narcotics[percs,Oxycontin,morphine,etc] can't really say that getting off suboxone is any easier than getting off those other narcotics because subutex is just another synthetic narcotic..
Does coffee intensify suboxone?
I do not think so. I cannot see any reason why it would. I do not feel any effects off of Suboxone really. No "high" that is for sure. Best person to ask would be the doctor that prescribes you your Suboxone.
