I need help

I would like to listen if you want to exchange your story,, My name is Everett and would like to help you,

I would like to help also - call me Eli. No withdrawl is impossible. I killed my 7 yrs sub addict with only a day of work - alone. Okay Bring dose down to 1ml or .5 ml. Skip a day if u can....Do not take any morphine based med....instead get wine, panadol, vitamin, fruits, exercise. Do read the whole 8 pages n pull out all the positives - we r the addicted type so we need new addiction. Facebook or join the army or being rich or body building ... If u get my point. W/d will only last a day or 2.....,most annoying is not been able to sleep but if u not working then who cares.....after a week u will not want to go back but look forward...its day 15 n life is beautiful. N remember I was on it for 7-8 yrs so if u did less then u got nothing to worry about. 

I have been reading these posts everyday, and was taking about 1/4 of Suboxine a day and am now on Day 5 of being clean. Honestly, Sub ruined 2 years of my life I had no desire to go out or even just out with friends, I wanted to do nothing but smoke and take my sub. Now that I am on Day 5 I feel slight leg tingling but FINALLY got 7-8 hours of sleep on night 4. The first 4 days were exteremely hard, depressing, and painful. I used the 'Thomas recipe' and trust me this saved me on Day 3 and 4. It is all about your mental state, just keep up with as much exercise as YOU feel you can do and force yourself to eat healthy meals and drink lots of gatorade. Vitamin B6 gave me sustaining energy until bedtime and Potassium will help tramatically. I will say, Day 4 was the most emotional and I almost used but if you have just 1 person to keep you motivated you will be great. I ended up flushing the sub and am pulling through. I will be returning to work today and am hoping by just Day 6 or 7 I will be 100%. THERE IS HOPE AND YOU WILL PULL THROUGH!

hello. Thank you so much for your story. I also have been on subutex for a year and before that I was taking suboxone for at least 5 years. I had to stop the subutex 4 days ago as I am having surgery in one week. I have to admit I took percocet for a few days but do not want to take the pain pills anymore however I have a neurological condition and it can be quite painful. I am not sure what to do. I feel to sick to go out but I do pray a lot at home to jesus and God. I am worried this withdrawal will never go away. Can you give me some feedback. I do not know your name. thank you and God bless. Rifka

Believe me - they will go away. Sorry to say that it will take 19 days to be able to run around like a teenager again. after 5 days - withdrawls will go away n after 9 -10 days sleeping will be easier. I just destroyed my backup sub after 18 days. My digestive system still playing up but now I can get drunk on wine n fall asleep within minutes. Plz note my addiction was over 8 yrs so 2 yrs would be much more quicker recovery. A doctor once told me that u need to drain your receptors from the morphine so even panadine forte is not good. Take none opiate med only. If u don't have a choice then make sure it's only short time like 5 days on another opiate med then jump off. I don't know if it will work but nothing is impossible if u believe in it. Just plan yourself.

Hi, I'm on day 2. Its not to bad yet.
I've been taking suboxone for about 1yr & just
want to be free from all chains of addiction.
I'm not really feeling up to typing, but was wondering
if you would please pray for me. I have a 2 year old daughter
who gets into everything & don't have anyone to help
with her while I'm going through this. I just know I don't want
this anymore. your post gave me hope. thank you

I was on suboxone for about a year, then got switched to subutex because I became pregnant. I was 8 mg, after I had him I weened myself down down to 1 mg a day. Well surprise, I got pregnant again and at the end of this pregnancy I was to 12-14mg of subutex. I know I'm supposed to "tapper" down, but seriously who has the time to do and live your normal life? So I figured my perfect and only opportunity would be on my last maternity leave. I didn't rapper down, I just cold turkied from the 12-14 mgs a day. I got out of the house for the first time sense i had my child yesterday, so from the 12th of oct to the 22nd i was stuck inside and in bed. I'm now on day 13, I'm actually out on the couch now and kind of interacting with my little ones. At the same time I feel so depressed and wonder, will I EVER get my natural serotonin and energy back ck considering I was on these pills for almost five years? And when will I ever be able to sleep? I wake up like ever hour and just toss and turn wide awake all night?

Hi Jenn, u r almost there - 5 more days to back to normal. U should be able to sleep though. In my case I was alone so took a couple of panadol an hour before bed but not a choice for u because of your baby. Unless u partner can keep an eye on the baby at night. I think it's a very good time for you because your baby will give you will power. I will check this post late. Will pray for you.

all ur stories give me relief, i was an oxy- heroine addict from 18- 25, was on subs for 1 yr and half and now im 4 days into WD and its no where as bad as H withdrawl, more like a bad flew, i been drinking alot to numb my mind and forcing my self to work threw it. and  having sex as much as possible to squeeze what seratonin from my endorphines i can to fill my empty receptors, i feel like im 15 having sex for the first time,. ive been numb so long but my girl has been an angel giving me orgasim after orgasum, takingmy mind off my wd and feel f*****g great and almost normal after, i feel glowing for almost an entire day. so i hope u all have  a special someone to sqeeaze out ever bit of serotonin ur endorphines can produce naturaly to replace the BS drugs we are giving up to get our lives back. since we cant sleep anyways might as well love the one ur with all night.  the exxercise and passion , and just feeeling coming back if tremrndus, its good to feel again.. love u all for ur stories. jsut get ur f**k on,..
