Your are a in denial and will be a addict forever. It is Satan's pill. I bet your still taking suboxen? Why because it gets you higher than anything you can get on the street. My Lord WTH!!!!!!
I have been on 16mg for 1 1/2yrs and trying to get off of it, I went thru treatment and this is what they put me on, it is now acting like the drugs did in my system
I have been off and on using for the last 7 years of my life. I started off as a heavy oxycotin users went to treatment and got clean for almost a year. after relaspseing I started getting suboxone off the street because I was afraid of what my friends and family would think of me if they knew i had relapsed. I have been on suboxone for the last 3 years taking as much as 8mg a day. over the last 6 months I have gotten myself down to 2mg a day. After missing several doctors appointments and running out of hookups for suboxone I am forced to do the inevitable.... Withdrawl and get off subs for good. The first 3 days were bad as expected, but unlike most people I am able to sleep nonstop for the first few days after getting of subs. Once the 3rd night rolls around however the restlessness kicks in. I thash my boby in bed and wave my arms wildly in the air trying to shake the feeling of something crawling under my skin. However small this feeling is it is the withdrawl symptom that gets me everytime. I can deal with the cold sweats, puking, overall terrible feeling, but the restlessness is almost unbearable. Ive come this far once or twice before only to pick up more suboxone and start over again. I'm SO f*****g tired of spending thousands of dollars on something that makes it impossible to feel real emotion. Sure Suboxone has been great to me, it allowed me to get my life together without ever really dealing with my opiate addiction. I havent touched an opiate in 4+ years, so I guess its not all for nothing. I just want it all to be over I know I have a long road ahead of me, but I really think I can do it this time!
hey man have u tried prescription amphetamines like adderal or dex. they got me clean after 10 years of being and abuser of the ice bro. im now 2 years clean and life is looking good. im working on a degree, i have a job and a girlfriend and i cant believe how far ive come. believe me breaking the hold that meth had on me was rough, one of the worst times of my life bro the only thing that comes close is being interrogated by the feds dawg. both of these experiences tho led me to a realization that meth had a hold of me, and as good as the high feels brotha i can guarantee the feeling of no longer being controlled by the crank man was worth all the pain and relapse and struggle. cuz let me tell u that first step u take as a free man after all the pain is indescribable. That my friend is true euphoria.
Okay I'm going to tell you all my story with suboxone. I am a 20 years old I had been doing opiates since my freshmen year in high school. I started taking vicodin then i went to opana a couple months after i graduated. When I couldn't find opana I did Heroin. Now let me tell you, I am the BIGGEST baby when it comes to withdrawing...I can't handle it..Obviously why I wen't on Subs. But anyways I was taking them on and off for about year (every time I couldn't get dope) One week I was taking suboxone for five days clean of heroin. Then I got arrested..I was only five days off heroin and the last dose I took of the sub was 4 mg. When I got to jail I was completely scared of withdrawing off of subs. I was crying like a baby. I had herd plenty of horror stories about getting off of it, and the fact that the last does i took was 4mg that is a lot too just stop taking. Usually you have to cut it to 1mg or a half of 1 mg to get off. Well let me tell you its been almost five days and I have not had ANY withdraws from the subs. And honestly the only way I think I got away with not getting sick is because I talked to a bunch of nurses that were telling me that its all a mind game when you get off of suboxone ( I thought to myself. "YEAH f*****g RIGHT!?") Well let me tell you every day I just kept telling myself "I'm not going to get sick. I will be okay" And I got myself through it with no withdraws. Now I am not saying that you don't withdraw from subs because I have experienced it plenty...But in all honesty just keep telling yourself that its all in your head and you really might surprise yourself...I know I did...I got off easy. And I thank God every day for it.
Thank you so much, I have been so afraid of coming off suboxone, I have been on 16mg a day for 1 1/2yrs
You need you get you self down to a sliver if possible, I was taking 4 mg when I finally got off and the withdrawals didn't even hit me for around 6 days, by the I had run out of my Adivant and Ambien the Doc prescribed for the first few weeks and was soon in a a never ending hell. Yes the withdrawals were better than Vicodin and Oxys but withdrawals are withdrawals. My brother did the way I am telling you to do it and he said it was a few days of being a slight uncomfortable, The it was done, , he still has a little trouble sleeping but nothing he cant deal with.
I have been an opiote addict since i was 23. i am now 36. 4 1/2 years ago i was prescribed suboxone and have had alot of things happen in that time. i lost my brother to this very addiction and still struggle with his loss. my youngest brother is also an addict. the suboxone may be a narcotic but it also saved my life. I didnt just do the suboxone i saw a therapst once a week for 2 years and i also go to AA meetings. i have a sponsor that i talk to on a regular basis. suboxone alone WILL NOT cure you. we all have underlying issues that need to be addressed. yes i am experiencing withdrawls but theyre not like they were when i was eating tabs percs or whatever i could find for that day. and when i say i ate them i ate them like pezz. 40-60 a day. now im not but 5'2 and 120 lbs. it is possible to do this. i did however cut myself down to a sliver of a 2 mg strip. i think this is necessary to eliminate severe withdrawls.
I understnd the feelings your going through, i was in a relationship for 5 years and going through methadone and suboxone withdrawal. My partner like you was fustrated at my lack of libido. It eventual destroyed our relationship. You have nothing to feel bad about, he is the one with an addiction, it was his choice. Putting pressure on him will only make him worse. If you truly love him then be supportive as long as he is going in the right direction. If he goes the other way you need to show tough love, otherwise he will drain all your emotions. This is my experience and opinion.
I need some advice. I have never done a drug in my life. Recently I have started talking to a guy that I dated 8 years ago which ended because of his addiction to opiates. He went to suboxone 3 years ago on his own. My assumption was that he was clean from it all until I found out he is very addicted to suboxone because of him attempting to detox from it. His sincere efforts to put this drug behind him led me to my decision to not only stick around but to help him through this process. I have done as much research as I can about this drug and have found a tapering schedule to help him cut it out completely without him feeling like what he describes as "feeling like he is dying". He admitted to me he could not do this on his own and has left me in charge of the amount and times that he gets suboxone. Although the symptoms of withdrawal aren't as severe, they are still there whenever we taper down. He has done very well and has not yet went behind my back looking for more, however it is so painful for me to watch when the withdrawal becomes a little worse and he starts to plead with me for just a little bit more. I know that I have to continue this process of what we decided based off of what he had been taking and slowly taper down but I need some further advice from former addicts. How do I comfort the withdrawal that he is having without giving him more? Is there any little strategies that you have used to conquer this that would be helpful? I'm doing everything I know how to do and trying to stay strong for him but that doesn't stop me from walking around the corner and crying when he isn't looking because this is beyond stressful for me and breaks my heart to watch him struggle with this. I'm all he has and I don't want to fail him.
hello, I dont really understand why your doctor put you on suboxone in the first place, suboxone is for opiate addiction. Anyways the best thing to do is to taper down do not go cold turkey, you can come off anything if you do it right and you put your mind to it!!! Just taper slowly...good luck
If you are getting withdraws from subs you did not lower the dose slowly and decreased the amount you take per day. I came off of 2 oxy 80's per day 8 roxy 30's per day every day for 7 years. I took subs and lowered the dose every month till I was only taking a crumb off a pill, then a crumb every other day, till I had none left. I had 0 withdraws. Most people who get withdraws from subs stop taking it when there still taking 1 mg or 1/2 mg per day, you will still withdraw off that amount. Also a lot of people take a perk or some type of opiate and then go back on the subs once you do that your 100% hooked again. You cut the subs down right, and you will get 0 to very minimal withdraws.
