How long will Suboxone Subutex Withdrawal Last? My Story of Recovery, Happy ending.

Thanks for your story. I mean it. Everyone shares the same horror story, and it was making me sweat my coming withdrawal. Well, it came, and now I’m also on day 20. Finally. I agree with all you said in your post. Clarity. Purpose. I have these again. The symptoms are all gone. I went from 24mg to .06mg when I jumped. If anyone’s curious, it’s possible to cut the strips into smaller doses if you get the 4mg strips, as they’re twice as large and half the dose of the 8s. You said it best when you said you weren’t going to be anyone’s statistic or horror story. Same here friend. I hope you’re still in the light that you fought so hard to reach. It’s because of comments like yours that I just stepped out of the darkness. Thanks for your honesty and heart.

You need to get off of everything for this poor baby go get help why question your baby will be suffering GO !!!

Thanks for your story. I am on day 19 and still feel pretty lousy. Lethargy to the point of just wanting to lie down all the time. Headaches, depression. No appetite. Very lite sleep. I hope to God this starts to abate soon because I have two small children and my wife needs her husband back! And I need my life back too.

thank you so much for your help. I feel like I'm already getting better my self I am on day 14 cold turkey from 3 8mg subutex a day for about a year and a half. the struggle is Def finely real but I can Def finely see the light my self me and my wife.I'm doing this for my own life an my 4 kids this has almost become an obsession but I knew it was time to make a change when I missed my appointment due to car problems an they couldn't reschedule me for 3 more days an I look at my wife an she was jus crying because we were all out just about. I know God has been by my side this whole time I have been doing nothing but praying an I know he hears me because I have not once even craved it. I have people all the time trying to sell them to me but I know my own worth too. my Lil bro is definitely one of my biggest supporter he has chased off a couple people coming to try to get me back on them but I know I can do this. I have read a whole lot of horror stories like u have said but I was ready for the worst no matter what didn't care what I had to do.thank you so much for sharing your time line you definitely gave me even more hope that I'm gonna be alright god bless you and good luck with your journey as well GOD REALLY IS GOOD

I cannot tell you how much this has helped me. I can’t begin to thank u enough. I am 39 years old and was in a horrible accident at 16 from then I was on opioids for 23 years I decided I was done but couldn’t get off of these meds on my own and Lord knows I tried to do I finally 6 months ago went to a suboxone clinic and they put me on Subutex. My only goal from get go was to take this med to finally get off opioids and 3 other meds the dr had been cramming down my throat for years. I told my dr that I would be off Subutex and I quit Saturday Withdrawals have been rough but I have read this over and over about 20 times a day. I weighed 125 when I started Subutex but started losing weight and having weird side effects while taking it. When I told my dr he said I should be gaining not losing weight but i knew something had to be wrong cuz like u said u wonders if Subutex has anything to do with ur own appetite so I didn’t feel so crazy. I’m on my 4 day and determined and wanted to thank u again for this post because it has inspired me to keep pushing through. God Bless You!

Hi,
My name is Joanna and I have been on suboxone for 8 years due to a heroin dependency in my youth. I never felt I needed to quit. I married well, live in a affluent area of Sydney, Drive the latest bmw and have three beautiful children in my late 20s. But I was in denial. You story brings me so much hope. I am on day 8, and the horror stories are nowhere near as bad as my experience. I tapered down to 1mg and didn’t want my children being born with withdrawal anymore. I still haven’t left the house but managed to shower and hold my newborn. The pain only lasted three days. Now it’s juar the latharfic feeling. I feel I have so much in common with your story, I am studying a bachelor of social work whilst caring for three children. I’m so blessed to have a supportive husband. I look forward to the day when my energy is beyond what it ever was on suboxone. I wish there was a hotline so I could talk to ppl like you in recovery. I also have been reading bible passages and stuck my favourite on my wall. God gives strength like no one else good. Best of luck, Joanna

Hi Joanna!! Congrats on your decision to take back your life. I am almost 30 days off subutext myself and am feeling better and better everyday!! My two yr old was also born subutext dependant because I was told it wouldn’t affect her. We spent two weeks in the Nicu while they weened her down . It was horrible. So I know where you’re coming from. I hope you’re still going strong and you are proud of yourself!!
