Avoid Suboxone Withdrawal; Only Two are Needed!

Your right...I was taking 120 or more perks a day for 2 years and stopped

Cold turkey...Boy was that stupid...first day or two wasn't so bad..I thought, "this is nothing "..haha...by the third day I wanted to die..seriously...I almost went in sane...The withdraws are unbearable ..I all most went back to using it was so bad....But I stuck it out and everyday Id lose one system thinking that was the worst and then a different system hit me...It went on for like a month but I did it and it was hell so anyone who says withdraws aren't bad or no big deal is not a true addict...Im sorry but no one can abuse a drug and not have severe withdraws when coming off..Not unless your a weekend social user

I dont believe you used 240mill of oxy a day and only needed 2 subs to get clean and no withdraws...Idk if its because you only used for 2 months it wasn't bad because how long you abuse a drug depends on the severity of the withdraws and time to get clean..But your definitely an odd case...idk but to tell someone whos been using pain pills daily for years that your advise works..NOT TRUE

Try taking up to 4 patches of fentanyl and eating that much daily, then jumping off cold turky. To eat that much fentanyl is a HUGE namount of opiates. Oh and did that for 3 years. If ya ever thought suboxone withdrawal was rough, alot of people have seem the true hell the STRONG opiates (fent/dope) can be. If ever there was a time to put a gun in your mouth.....

i ment symptoms

ment to say symptom

i started suboxone detox for 28 day i started on 1 8mg n then went to 2 8mg the next day after 8 days i started reducing and at 21 days i was down to a 2mg that was yesterday my doctor has now told me not to take any today and then tomorrow i take a 2mg again and that keeps going for another 4 days ie: one day on one day off until i am off it , i was on methadone and wanted off it so that's why i tried suboxone , but i am feeling some withdrawals but nothing major at the moment  so am hoping its not going to be as bad as what some people have wrote on here :/

I am on suboxone maintenance and it saved my life. For the doctors that use it as a detox drug, and that's it-wonderful...If you can achieve that... All my friends who have stopped suboxone have just went back to their opiate of choice. I'm not saying it can't be done, but...when you can reach for a pill to curve the W/D, i give in after like a week of feeling the worst feelings of my life. And @Dimpz dude, yur MD is crazy as hell- 2mg is a lot to just come off of. currently i have a friend who takes one MG every three days. Your doctor isnt giving you enough time to come off of them- you need to split those 2mg's in half, and possibly go down to .5mg after that.... I'm not a doctor, i know, but I am a junkie with more experience than i would like to have with this subject. Doctors don't know sh*t and sometimes LIKE making you feel like sh*t as a "lesson" or something. I don't know. But i know coming off of 2mg, you will be sick, and in my experience, will go for any type of relief possible. If you CAN get off, and stay off subs, that's awesome, i say try it-- but i would have a backup plan. (More suboxone)... (I've been a heroin addict for 9 years, and suboxone is the only thing that has kept me off dope. +1 for suboxone!!)

Thank you Jen, I believe you are absolutely right after all the research about Suboxone.  The problem is I started the medication and then did the research...So I now have 4 X 8mg subs and have taken one 8mg this morning and 2X 8mg the previous 4 days.  I want to stop using these and get no more and just get into recovery.  Mine are the films and I am not sure how to break them up or how much to take now would like to be off them immediately without withdraws before its too late.  Unfortunately I only have Mon thru next Wed off, and its Sat the 4th now.  I think I may of taken too many already to avoid sub withdrawls...I wish I would of read your post last Tues before I took the first 8mg.  Any suggestion on how to procede would be appreciated and I will report back how it works out whatever path I take. 

What did you end up doing I have like 8 sub tablets I took a full one yesterday and I am lower my dose today I want off ASAP with no withdrawals cause I work all the time and can't take any days off to detox at this time

You don't know what you are talking about they do! I have been threw he'll and back and was put on subs and it is so much harder to get off subs that pain medicine do your research before you go acting like you know everything cuz obviously you don't!!!

A lot of addicts, after kicking, still have crazy cravings and get the strong urge to use some more suboxone or methadone or their drug of choice. I have found that smoking marijuana helps incredibly when i get the urge to use heroin. try it. marijuana is completely safe, especially when compared to opiates. :)

So if I have one suboxone 8mg and split it into 2mg pieces so I have 4 and use only as needed or if the withdraw is bad I can make it through without any real withdraw symptoms?

Hi Jen,

I started on Tues, and the doc gave me a 4 mg pill split in 2 for the first day. Then got the strips and took one the next morning and a half in the afternoon. I seriously (I know this sounds stupid) thought they were 2 mg strips, but they are 8 . And today they wanted me to take one in the morning and one in the afternoon, I only took half of the afternoon because that is already 12 mg. I am scared for wd's from these now. Do you have any suggestions? Can I cut back tomorrow and feel ok? Any help woudl be WONDERFUL, after doing a lot of research I know you are right. I just havent had days without thinking about pills in so long its so nice, but I dont want to be on this for long (although the doc wants me to of course) and I have a 3 year old and work full time, I cant afford to feel like sh*t. So any tips would be AWESOME!Thank you in advance, I hope you still check this!!

Why do you. Rag about being an addict and going through "hell and back". It's actually not cool at all and absolutely nothing to brag about. It's actually quite sad.

Hey, in a sense you are right, but to be honest the 1st guy is right too. I've been through hell and back and hell and back and hell and back and even seen the "face" of satan himself. So don't tell me. Been on Heroin a few times, oxycontin aint sh*t compared to H. Suboxone though! Ah..Uh NO! SUBOXONE / SUBUTEX IS ALL MAN MADE! ANY ONE OUT THERE TRYING TO BE DONE WITH OPIATES FOREVER AND DONT WANT A "SUBSTITUTE" JUST GO ON METHADONE DETOX FOR 5 DAYS. SUBOXONE TOOK ME ON A WORSE ROAD TO HELL THAN HEROIN. I WISH TO GOD I WOULDVE LET MYSELF BE DOPE SICK FOR A WEEK EVEN THOUGH ITS AWFUL AT LEAST ITS FROM THE EARTH! ANY PILL YOU POP, SNORT, SHOOT UP, PUT UNDER YOUR TONGUE IS MAN MADE AND IM WITH THE 1ST GUY. I TOOK SUBS LEGALLY FOR 6 YEARS. DOCTORS AND GOVERNMENT (THE BAD DOCS, NOT THE GOOD ONES) WORK HAND IN HAND TO KEEP US PAYING FOR SOMETHING SO BIG PHARM MAKES THEIR MONEY AND THEN THE GOVERNMENT GETS A CUT. AND BY THE WAY DUMMY, THERE IS SUCH THING AS PERK 30'S YOU f*****g id**t. IM A CHRISTIAN, AND YES I WOULD NEVER CALL SOMEONE THAT, BUT YOU BUDDY DONT KNO sh*t AND YOU ARE A COMPLETE id**t. I TOOK PERK 30S TO TRY TO GET OFF SUBS JUST RECENTLY. THEY DID NOTHING! WENT THRU ME LIKE WATER. WAS SICK AFTER JUST A FEW HOURS. HAD TO TAKE ANOTHER SUB AND WAS FINE..NOT EVEN SICK LIKE THEY SAY YOU SHOULD BE, THAT IS HOW MUCH IT DESTROYED ME! STOP BELIEVING THE LIES OF THE GOVERNMENT AND CROOKED DOCS. DO WHATS RIGHT AND STOP TELLING LIES. LISTEN TO ME PEOPLE I AM THE SUBOXONE QUEEN. MADE LOTS OF MONEY AND SUPPLIED MY HABIT. NOW I BROKE AND I'M DONE CAUSE I'M WORRIED ABOUT MY SOUL. FOR REAL....I DON'T KNOW IF ILL EVER GET TO SEE THE FACE OF GOD AGAIN. SUBOXONE IS THAT EVIL! IT WILL FILL EVERY PLACE OF YOUR MIND WITH A MANMADE SUBSTANCE WHERE GOD IS SUPPOSSED TO BE FILLING WITH HIMSELF. DONT DO IT! LISTEN TO A VERY MISERABLE EXPERIENCED USER/DEALER. IF I WAS A DEALER WOULD I BE LYING TO YOU AND TELLING YOU TO STOP AND ADMITTING WHAT I DID? NOPE! SO NOW DO YOU BELIEVE ME? YEAH MAYBE IT SAVED A FEW PEOPLE FROM OVERDOSING, BUT MY BOYFRIEND DIED FROM A FENTANYL OVERDOSE THE SAME WEEK I TOOK HIM TO GET SUBS TO GET FREE. IF IT IS GODS TIME FOR YOU TO GO, IT DON'T MATTER WHAT YOU TRY TO DO TO STAY CLEAN. HE DIDN'T WANT TO STAY CLEAN SO HE DIDNT AND DIED. MANY MORE WENT THE SAME WAY OR KILLED THEMSELVES. YOU ARE EITHER SERIOUS ABOUT GETTING CLEAN OR YOUR NOT! IF YOU ARE, THEN THE ONLY THING I SAY IS SAFE IS METHADONE DETOX 5 DAYS, AN NEVER SEE YOUR OLD FRIENDS/PEOPLE EVER AGAIN. DONT RELAPSE. GO TO AA/NA AND CELEBRATE RECOVERY. GO TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY. READ YOUR BIBLE GET SAVED, PRAY AND NEVER GO BACK! IF YOU DO DON'T EVER TAKE SUBS TO GET FREE. I WISH I COULD PAY GOD TO GO BACK 6 YEARS AND BE DOPE SICK ONCE AGAIN AND SUFFER THROUGH IT FOR A WEEK, AND THEN BE OK AGAIN. GET OFF OF THE STUFF NOW! EVEN IF YOU ARE ONLY 1 YEAR ON IT, GET OFF NOW. IT WONT BE AS BAD AS IT IS FOR ME! USE LIVER DETOX, TAKE VITAMINS AND MINERALS, AND EXERCISE AS SOON AS YOU GET ANY STRENGTH BACK. PRAY ALL DAY EVERY DAY AND MAYBE ONE DAY YOU WILL BE WELL AGAIN! PRAY FOR ME TOO. THANKS. JESUS WILL PROBABLY RETURN BEFORE I GET FREE.

I hate to break the news but everyone will have some sort of withdraws getting off any opiate. That is totally unavoidable. It's the comfort level you can handle is what you're shooting for.
