Cold Turkey From Suboxone 8mg

Hi everybody, I decided to post here to give everybody who is going through sub withdrawal or anyone who has the desire to quit some hope. I am 22 years old, was addicted to heroin for 3 years and was on suboxone for 2 years. I abused my suboxone, snorting it everyday well over my prescribes dose. I would like to add that you can snort or shoot suboxone so let's stay on the topic because I don't need a thread of people saying, "this guys a liar". That's far beyond the point here.

Two days ago I decided to flush away all of my pills I just picked up from the doctor. I was taking at least 10mg a day, and have no way of getting another script for two more weeks. I finally decided I am no longer going to be a slave to these drugs as well as antipsychotics and antidepressants. I need to add that I threw those away too. (Seroquel, Prozac, Hydroxyzine, Suboxone)

I know for a fact that if you are going through suboxone withdrawal for any other reason than the fact that you truly want to stop, your symptoms will be much worse than they would be if you made a descision to stop. I also would like to add that all of the people who are all over the Internet saying that suboxone withdrawal is the worst and they can't deal with it, that is because your just not ready to quit the drug and deal with the pain. For instance, because prior to me stopping subs I knew I made the conscious descision to stop AND that I would take all the pain I would feel and just simply accept it and not complain or whine, my experience through this withdrawal has been MUCH better.

The people reading this who are feeling this severe pain need a reality check. You are psyching yourself out due to what you have read in all of these posts, AS WELL as past experiences going cold turkey or quitting. If you tried to quit before and failed, or have just simply run out and could not get through it, it does not mean that when you are ready to quit again that your new experience with it will be just as bad. Stop listening to all that poison out there, stop whining about all that pain (sub withdrawal will not kill you), and accept it and just go through it with a positive attitude.

Ask yourself this question like I asked myself when I flushed my pills, "What am I not willing to do to be free and live my life?".

Addicts have been indoctrinated with the thought that there is always a chemical solution for everything from tylenol to heroin, and addicts also constantly OBSESS OVER HOW THEY FEEL.

If I could just show you the old lady down the road, who has never taken a drug in her life (like most healthy people), she has also gone through pain and suffered, but she did it without a chemical solution. Also, for all the religious people think about the fact that Jesus died on a cross, and he endured many painful hours up there nailed to that thing and if he endured pain that killed him than you should be man enough to deal with pain that WON'T kill you. If you don't believe in Jesus just don't forget that there were more than thousands of people nailed to a cross in ancient Rome.

So far I am on day two and I feel fine accept some minor discomfort, and if it gets worse, come what may. I will never take my life back if I don't change myself, and I can't change myself while I'm on this drug. Just stay positive and find that inner strength. That is the only way through this. To be honest, you all might call me crazy but the past few days after I flushed my pills, I feel free and happy since. I can allow myself to take responsibility for my actions and go through the pain that is DUE TO ME like a man.

Good Luck
