Is it normal that 24mg of suboxone is more powerful to me than 1mg?

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP TRYING TO GET OFF OF SUBOXONE COMPLETLY!!!!!?
Hi everyone In 2009 I became addicted to 30mg percocet I would take 5to7 pills a day until November 2010 I started taking suboxone (8mg) 3x a day (a total of 24mg a day) which I took faithfully everyday never missing a dose (sometimes I would even take 4 or 5 just to get higher) so after a year of being on the suboxone I wanted to try and quit (considering I was abusing the suboxone anyways) so in November 2011 I quit cold turkey I was able to last 3days I had no withdrawal symptoms but wanted to get high so I took 2 tabs(16mg)and stayed at 16mg until December I stopped taking them for 5 days still no withdrawals just the urge to get high so I took 1tab(8mg)on the 5th day and stayed at 8mg until April I stopped for 2days still no withdrawals just wanted to get high so I took a half of a tab(4mg) on the 2nd day I stayed at 4mg until June but in June I didn't stop at all ay when I quit for another 2 days no withdrawals and really didn't even want to get high this time but my junkie self took a quarter piece (2mg) and stayed at this dose until June but in June I didn't miss any days I just decreased the piece to (1mg) and so now since June I've been taking 1mg a day I cut 1 8mg tab suboxone into 8 pieces and it lasts me 8 days so now the last couple of weeks I have tried a couple a times to quit again because taking the 1mg a day gets me very high I will nod,feel nauseating and even throw up but if I miss a day I will be fine for that one day the I missed but the very next day I have to a piece or I will start to feel withdrawals such as diarrhea and sweating

So this is my question when I was addicted to the percocet I never went a day with out one so I don't know if I would of even withdrew had I tried but was so interested in getting high that I just replaced the percocet for suboxone and with the suboxone I never went a day without that either until Novemeber a whole year later 1.How come I didn't have any withdrawal symptoms and was tapering from December to June and 2.How come now I get withdrawal symptoms after a day and the dose shouldn't matter right because it's the lifespan that matters and 3. why does 2mg suboxone get me higher than 24mg suboxone ever did I want to say I am very sorry this is so long but I really am trying to be all done with the pills the high the life (It has ruined me)but PLEASE can SOMEONE lead me in the right direction to get off of these pills for once and for all thank you all very much write back thank you to all

    Honey! How do u even have it together enough to remember all those dates and doses. I dont know about the particular pill, but for me even coming off percs after surgeries was hard. That shit makes life seem fine, all the while life is actually passing right on by. Which obv you know and r ready to face up to it. Seems to me u have tapered so significantly that u just need to keep doing this, slowly weaning yourself to reduce withdrawal. But dont take it from me, im sure no doctor, but it certainly makes sense and the only way ive ever kicked habits. Sorry i dont have more answers, but if you can at all possibly see a doc it would help u both answer ur questions and strengthen ur resolve to quit. Sending hopes for u, you will be ok.

      Thank you I just wish I never started taking pills they have defiantly ruined my life. You are 100% right when you say life was just passing away and the sad part is I thought my life was fine for a long time while taking pills. As far as remembering dates and doses I have been writing in a journal daily to remind me because trust me I can't remember most things within an hour lol. My memory is the worst. Half the time I forget what I am talking about while I'm in the middle of a sentence. I wish there was in easier way to quit I guess I'm gonna have to be strong and get myself out of this mess that I have created. The truth is they don't fix anything in life they make EVERYTHING worse and also makes you very depressed thank you again
