Hey my name is Aaron and Im on day 3 without subs. Just a little history. I started stealing my wifes percocets about 7 years ago and from there my pill use just escalated. Before I started the sub routine about 3 years ago I was taking up to 40mg Methadone  and 320mg Oxy every day. I was pretty strung out. I started to realize I needed help so I saw a thearapist and whats the first thing she suggests? You guess it....Suboxone. So I went and saw an approved doctor who basically did some health tests and put a 8mg x 2 under my toungh. By the time I left his office I felt like a new man. I did feel high though and I had some doubts. I continued on the 16mg per day for about 2 years. For the past year Ive been on 8mg per day. My wife also is prescribe suboxone now for her cronic backpain and it has worked very well for her. I have a decent addiction personality so there have been times where I abused my script then stole from my wife till I could get my next script. I am just tired of being a decitful, thieving, emotionless, un caring , as****e to my wife so I am taking my first "real" attempt at getting off of these things.

   Day 1 symptoms were fairly mild with the usual sweats and restless legs.

   DAY 2 symptoms were about twice as bad as day 1. Headaches setin with some diareea

   Day 3  Not hungry, no energy, anxiety, aches and cant sleep.

 

I know a lot of you have experienced this all before so I wont go into exact details of my symptoms. I am taking at least a week off of work to help get my system clean. I know I still have a long way to go but each day has just a little more hope for me. Anything other than the obvious suggestions that have already been posted here is great. Thanks for any support and Ill be checking in every day.
