I wanted to quickly say that i have had the mildest withdrawal of my life so far on suboxone.
for the last yr i was on 16mg a day. 3 months ago i started to taper down all the way to 1mg.
then i jumped, 8 days later i went to my appoinment and my doctor said i cant just jump and told me a load of bs and that even tho i went 8 days with no symptoms, i would soon withdrawal and feel like death. she put me in an inpatient program, shes a phycologist, and put me back up to 16mg a day. for 2 weeks i took 16mg.
on my last visit, i demanded she taper me and she was angry, so she gave me a one week taper, dropping from 16mg to 4mg in a week, then see ya! i was cut off and dismissed.
so i sat back waiting for the withdrawals to b severe.
day 1-5: nothing at first, then slight restless legs around day 4 and 5. but just annoying, not debilitating.
day 6-12: yawning more than usual on day 6,7,8 but it stopped. a little sluggish.nothing painful.
daY 13-30: spent the 13th through the 18th waiting on these SEVERE withdrawals you read about. day 19 i realized that nothing was coming.
today is day 45. I dont know how i dodged the bullet. But, i did. The only things i did that may have helped was the B complex vitamins with tons of B12. and water.
i hope others out there have an easy time stopping the suboxone. i didnt feel normal on it. so i quit it.
one more thing that may have made my withdrawal easy, i quit opiates 5 yrs ago. the only reason i was on suboxone was because i was an alcoholic and went in to detox, the doc decided i needed suboxone cause she was afraid i would go back to pills when i quit drinking. i never heard of a suboxone and never thought they were addictive as they are. so maybey, not having an opiate addiction prior helped?
anyhow, if it was as easy as quiting asprin to me, then there is hope for the next person whos had enough and ready to quit.before quitting i read that there are people who have no issues stopping suboxone, i NEVER expected to be one of them.

Thank you and God bless you. It's the middle of the night and I ache all over. I'm on day 6 of Suboxone withdrawal after using it for 8 months. I needed reminding to trust in The Lord and surrender to his timing in this.

Sir, I'm 53. Day 3 is about as bad as it gets. The fog in your head is just about having a different feeling compared to that on opiates. It will seem normal after a while. I hope that it already has - I note your post was two weeks ago.
