It's been very interesting and informative reading your posts. There seems to be alot of similar withdraw problems. My biggest problem are the leg and arm cramps at night. It's impossible to sleep. I took my last 2mg 6 days ago and went to ER on the second night of cramps. I made it thru first night though I did get dressed and was about to go. By second night couldn't bear it. Not much help there except for some clonadine. Is anyone having success with any medicines to help this pain. Tried flexarill last night and still had a night from hell. Thanx and good luck to you all. Forgot to mention that today the suboxone doctor put me on Requip for restless legs.

1-       Thioridazine 100 mg            Anti Depressant (Muscle twitching) ½ pill a day                            after breakfast<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

2-       Diclofenac 25 or 50             Pain killer for joints and bone           1 pill 3 times a day               after meal

(You can use Jellophen or Iboprophen or Acetaminophen)

3-       Diazepam 5 mg                     Anti Depressant (Muscle twitching) 1 pill 3 times a day               after meal

Above experience or suggestion worked for me. You have to know your health status completely such as heart problem, allergies, depression and so on. If you are strong and in a healthy state, you can reduce some of the items. Study your reactions and symptoms. If you do the above experience, you are doing it at your own risk and responsibility.

I submit a post (Opiate withdrawals, Do it yourself) you might want to read it completely

Good luck     Sam

There is only one solution for leg and arm cramps at night, and that is to take some kind of downer or sedative. The ones I suggested, works every time. Do not forget you do not want to get rid of the leg and arm twitching or cramps with another type of opiate. (We want to get clean, right?).

1- Thioridazine 100 mg Anti Depressant (Muscle twitching) ½ pill a day after breakfast.

2- Diazepam 5 to 10 mg Anti Depressant (Muscle twitching) 1 pill 3 times a day after meal

Or Alprazolam (Xanax) 0.5 3 times a day

I know they make you sleepy, but they also take the restlessness away also. As a matter of fact you will go through withdrawals in sleep. Do it for 3 days you are done. Of course it depends on your dosage. Higher opiate dosage, takes stronger sedatives.
