How I got off of suboxone after 8 years of Use and many failed attempts.

I'm about to come off and these people's comments are scaring me

Don’t get on subs , I was on heroin for about a decade , methadone for 7-8 years , funny thing is I got off of heroin with a 45 day supply of Percocet , taken only when feeling like c**p , it was not as strong as heroin in my opinion but I really did not suffer , then since my behavior is so naive I figured I was ok , 6 months later I bumped into a cousin , he gave me a bag and I should have fought and went to NA , I felt like I was a big loser , how can I , after beating heroin for this long screw up , so I immediately went to a methadone ctr , as spoken above , then got tired of what I consider liquid handcuffs , so I went to subs , now at 2.05 I relapsed bad , before the relapse , BAD HEADACHES , problems sleeping , super unsociable , agitated for nothing , it’s like this dam drug has actually done some damage , worse mistake I’ve made , I’m so thinking of seriously going back on heroin and start the Percocet trial again , that’s sick thinking but it’s how these drugs affect everyone in one way or another , I’ve heard of some success but there is to much hype on subs , if u think u can do it , I’m just letting u know my story ,, I’m so tired of this that yes it would be easy to blow my brains out and stop , but there has to be a different way

I am doing the same. I feel severe lethargy then diarrhea then vomiting next day then nauseous. 0 appetite. Like lost 12 pounds in 6 days. I feel slin n bones. I cut 16mg of suboxone a day cold turkey.im over being dependent. Where there's q will there is a way. With God All things are possible.

100% true! I was on subs for 6 months. I was having bad side effects from it. didnt know it was from sub! thought i was dying of cancer. i prayed to my lord and right away he told me it was the subs! 17 days today from my last dose and it has been the worst time in my life! but i feel 80% better today and i could not do it without jesus.

I first started Subutex in 2002. I was given 32 mg. I won’t go into my history of opiate abuse but I have been on Suboxone/Subutex for a total of about 17years. I have been trying to get off of 8 mg for the last 7 months and I’m down to about 3mg now But I can’t even leave my bedroom. I just want to die and I don’t see a future and I do not know what to do. I’m also tapering off a 21 year addiction of high doses of Xanax and Klonopin. Very high doses and I’m down by about 75%. I started all of these tapers at the same time-about 7 months ago. I have never felt so bad in my entire life. The physical part really sucks but I can handle it. However, I cannot handle the mental aspect of it. I don’t even have the energy to describe it. I am hopeless.
