how long does it take to feel normal with suboxen

I started my addiction on pain killers, I was up to 25 10/650 per day. then I heard about suboxone...boy did it ever save my LIFE...I started out on 3 8mg subs a day for a year then I decided it was time for me to change my life. this stuff was ruining me and my family..all I could think about daily was when my next fix...so I finally decided to get my life together and get OFF all this controlled meds thats was running my life...I tried every doctor for advice but all they told me that in time we will wein you off. I couldnt wait I wanted off now...so I did alot of reserch but nothing helped with the withdrawls,cramps, and sleepless night until I tried my own method...and BELIEVE ME IT WORKS I PROMISE YOU. no withdrawls no cramps ,no sickness, the only thing is that you dont have ur full energy, if I had to guess id say u have about 75% which that very good considering none at all cause ive tried cold turkey and had to get admitted cause I was so dehydrated from not eating nor drinking fluids....so here we go if u follow this I promise you it will work...first off you need atleast a whole month of suboxone wich is 90. now dont take full doeses...start by cutting a whole one into 3 pieces. take only one third a day thats all u need cause I promise one third will hold u all day cause suboxone is very strong...repeat this process for two weeks only one third a day...week two cut you whole suboxone into four pieces take only a fourth once a day for that whole week...week three cut a whole suboxone into three pieces then cut down the center qhich will give u six pieces...take only one of the six for six days..week four ctake the other suboxone cut it into four pieces then cut down the middle which will give u 8 pieces that that for 8days by this timeby lowering the dose you will have ppracticaly no withdrawls at all...and I promise if u do have any they are bareable...and if they get too bad which they shouldnt...go to ur local grocery store and get the pill form of amodium-ad it stops withdrawls because its actually an over the counter opiate and no it doesnt prolong the withdrawls cause its not stong enoungh....if u follow this prceedure youll be off all meds in no time at all...but remember you have to want to quit ..if u have anymore question or help just contact me and id be glad to give more advice....remember ive been there and I know how it feels

I suffer with chronic pain also..... many reasons including degenerative disc disease.. neck and lower back... fybromyalgia ... arthritis ans some others.... I was on methadone for 2 years until I had it with not being able to function... constantly getting the "nods", etc.... I took myself off methadone... was sick as a dog!!! I was in full on withdrawals when I witnessed my husband end his life with a 9mm pistol.... this is where it's easy for me to say.. it all has to do with how desoerately YOU REALLY, REALLY want something... because... even in the midst of the most horrible thing someone woukd have to deal with... I never stumbled... I would not even answer calls from the pain management doc "legal drug dealer"..... my primary care doc is my husband cousin... I asked him if he woukd consider taking my pain mgmt. on.. he agreed.... I started with 4 -10mg Hydrocodone and 4 350mg soma a day... 9am..1pm...5pm...9pm.... I was on this for almost 5 years.... I actually realized at year 3 this dose needed to be upped... was no longer pain relief but more just took the edge off.... but my only option was raise that dose or go to stronger...longer acting opiate... I.e. methadone, oxy, roxy... the list goes on and on..... I refuse to ever be controlled as much as methadone controlled me ever again.... My doc and I sat down and had a long discussion of what my options are.... I already know if marijuana was legal I coukd throw over half my prescription drugs away... but since our government chooses to be in the pockets of big boy pharmaceutical companies... smoking weed isn't an option for me.. so.... he researched and researched.... he realuzed that not only is suboxone a medication for opiate addiction... it is also a great med for chronic pain sufferers without the side effects of the crazy pain relief drugs.... he took all the classes and paid for all his licenses so he coukd treat me.... I just recently started treatment.... I had to go through the entire withdrawal process again... be able to produce "clean" urine and received my prescription. .. 1 8mg strip every 12 hours.... my life is changed!! I'm no longer walking around high as a kite.....I can actually FUNCTION like "normal" people..... does it take away ALL the pain.. honestly no it don't. . But it's not a pain so horrible I can't walk... it's just like an achy pain and not constant... THIS I can live with!! Meanwhile. ...I continue the fight for complete marijuana legalization. .. I'm honestly appalled that alcohol is legal and weed sends one to prison longer than a murder or rape will.... I hope you have found what works for you!!! Stand strong for what you believe you need.... but know becoming a full blown.. pill trading... side buying addict is not the only option people have....

hey. godbless you and your coment is very up lifting..i was on all types of pills oxy roxy hydro co
you name it i was taken it and it was for 12 years today is day 4 on subox. and you no alot of pelope talk bad about sub o its bad its not worth it but they dont understand what subs do for pelope . it stops them from going out and geting it and geting hurt geting in troble it possible o.ding and given them back there lives it truley is a blessing. it cuts all the things we would have to do to get them and geting killed and gives us are lifes back. like i said i am on it now 5days and i feel ok not 100% but i am not a slave no more to the pill.thats what matters and i can do things and not worrie about allways runing out and geting sick it really took over my life. i chouldnt have a life i didnt have a life and now i do . its a little werid i forgot a few times i was on sub i had to remind my self i dont need to call the dealer i can go out and have a nice time and not be sick and i can sleep and eat and not worrie it is a blessing

Get on 8mg suboxone 2x day it saved my life. Been without it for 3 weeks of hell due to FL shitty med system. Going back to CT where they care about your pain.

Hi, I HAVE BEEN ON methadone FOR 3 1/2 YEARS AND JUST DID THE SWITCH TO suboxone. I left my clinic on 25mg as the intake lady said and stopped in Tuesday. Friday was my 1rst appt. I went the two days imbetween without the use of opiates. I used Clonodine, Vistiril,& hot baths to get me thru. I was definitely sick, but it truly wasnt a full blown withdrawl. Yes, I felt sweats, goosebumps, sleeplessness,& stomache cramps but it WASN'T UNBEARABLE as u may think. I got my 1rst Suboxone yesterday and felt much better. They said.. and Im feeling now, some stomache rumbles and hot flashes, but it isnt too much to handle.. And I'm a wimp

God bless you I hope everything worked out I'm in the same boat

Thank you for the encouraging words,you gave me hope that i have not been able find

Hope it all worked out for you.Have startdedon subitex today after relapsing in the summer (I was clean for previous six years).
For anyone out there,no matter what your going throught there is help out there,even if your circumatances area so complex you feel you can't ask for help and that if you did it would cause extra problems. There are loads of anonymous call lines you can start with just to talk things through and get advice on your options. I felt like I couldn't ask for help because of personal circumstances but I got arrested one day not to do witme I was in wrong place at wrong to time and they test on arrest so refer you to community drug and alcohol services, after months of feeling isolated I'm now getting trhe help I need.I know I have a long way to go but every day I'll get stronger and I'm not flushing my moinwy down the toilet any longer.

I started sub on Wed this is my 3Rd day I'm on 20mg I feel a bit better but I switched from 2 in a half years of methadone maintenance stable and got down to 48mg I switched to suboxone after 65 hours and using an oxi Monday night I didn't get in a extreme withdrawl just feel weak and tired still on fay 3 at 20 mg. Now I want to know does it take a good week or 2 to get comfortable cause I'm not there and it sucks cause methadone worked well for me but I hate the side effects. I also have drank a couple strong beers for 2 years straight I hope I'm not confusing the 2 withdraws as I stopped drinking the day I started sub thanks

I know this post was over a year ago, but I just wanted to thank you. You have made me realize Suboxone was the right decision for me! I want to feel "normal!"

I had the same experience. Started on 8 mg and for the first 5 to 7 hours I felt really spacey but actually good, gave me a lot of energy to run around the house and do a bunch of Housecleaning etc. so the second day I took a smaller dose because 8 milligrams seemed too high so I took six per the doctor and I felt even more spaced out so today I'm trying to go past the 24 hours to around 5 o'clock that way when I get tired because it makes you go to sleep or it did for me then at least I'll be closer to bedtime. The downside for me is my physical pain came back so I'm on a heating pad but mentally and withdrawl symptoms wise everything is good. I feel pretty good. I'm using it for getting off Norco.

I started 3 dayx ago n my legs feel like lead too it is driving me crazy
