Topic: Dr gave me Darvocet to help get through the Withdrawal from Suboxone
I have been on Tapering from Suboxone since June 28th. I tapered EXTREMELY slowly from 2mg everyday or even every other day if I felt I didn't need it to .25 every night. Currently I am able to break the .25 in half and take only aprox 1/2 of the .25 each evening.
HERE IS MY PROBLEM....I STILL have severe withdrawal when I attempt to go past 26 hours or so between doses. This is extremely discouraging to me b/c I am (or at least I thought I was) on such a minimal amount of suboxone. I have been on this current dose of 1/2 of .25 for about 9 days now. Last night I tried once again to POWER THROUGH the severe leg pain, arm, neck pain and spasms and only made it to 26 hours.
I do not yet have any crazy stomach issues and therefore have not taken the clonodine my Dr. prescribed. I am unsure, however, if I should stop the Sub completely and switch to Darvocet to help me get through the sub w/d's.
Short history: My issue was never Abuse of any opiod. I was on them for my Trigeminal Neuralgia and Fibromyalgia and ALWAYS took them as prescribed. I was on them for 5 years though and when I decided I wanted to fight the pain on my own and achieve freedom from pills...My body Was Not Having It!! The withdrawal as I KNOW U ALL KNOW was horrible! Someone suggested Sub to me and it sounded as if it would help me. Which it did!
I am afraid my body will want the Darvocet or the Darvocet won't even help the sub w/d. I NEED HELP completing this Taper. I am 32 and have been fighting these illnesses for 5 years now. I am extremely strong mentally and very focused on my future (Once diagnosed though I was a mess..It took me quite some time and a lot of work to get to the happy place I am at today! So, I am not trying to brag!). My husband and I are absolutely heartbroken that we weren't able to start a family yet as I do not want to be on this or any med of this type while pregnant. I hope someone out there can relate and understand my frustrations. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE...
I am not sure if I relayed my issue clearly enough so... If anyone has any questions PLEASE send me a PM as I would LOVE ALL input you can offer!! Thanks all!!

My heart really goes out to you but unfortunately, withdrawl is part and parcel with trying to get off any medication. You have a support system and soon, the feelings will start to go away. Does that help at all? How are you doing?
