I am also trying to get off Suboxone, this is not the first time. I have been taking for a year, starting at 8, then 4, then 2. The last pill I took was 5 days ago - I still feel awful. The drug has such a high half-life you don't go into wd for 3 days, but you will on the fourth. I am so uncomfortable, anxious, unable to sleep, unable to function at all basically. I went to my doctor today and he gave me some ativan, clonidine, and ambien. I took some of the ativan and clonidine and a took a NAP, it was awesome., first time a slept in almost a week.
One of my biggest problems is that I am not hungry, I have to force food down.
I have gotten of suboxone before, but clearly not for long. I have learned that this is a marathon, getting off opiates, and you jut have to force yourself to get up and get things done or you will waste away. I am supposed to be moving and I keep telling myself I will make up tom and feel better, but more than likely I will not, I am not going to have to push myself - or I will never get better.
If anyone has any tips for dealing with withdrawls I would love to hear them. |
