Hello Peeps...

It is my 3rd day getting off subs.  I have taken Suboxone for about 3 years.  I have only been on 1/4 pill for over a year... and went between taking an 1/8 to 1/4 a day for a few months.  I live in Seattle... and we have something called KRATOM that you buy at Smoke Shops for about 10=12$ a bottle... it binds some receptors the was sub does.  I take about half in the morning + 1/2 at night + I have been drinking.  I want to get help w some Valume or something as well....  this has been helping a little... but it still hurts.

I am gonna colon detox, go to a Steam room at my gym, and try to exercise a little.  

Don't be afraid to educate your friends and family so they UNDERSTAND a little more that this is not a joke... or "your mind" playing w you... Tell them to listen to you, and if they don't then to go to hell.  You need support now, more than any other time in your life. 

This is doable though... most important thing is to have mind control.  YOU are stronger than this...  Your deserve BETTER!  Keep yourself distracted!  

I kept an 1/8th of suboxone on hand... so that me quitting is MY CHOICE... It has helped w the anxiety.  It makes me feel in control and a little safer.

 
Hey Lauren I have been battling the same addicion... I made the wrong decision in high school to take opiates to cover my deppression And now I am really on a roller coaster, I was prescribed suboxone about 9 months ago and take 2 mgs a day. This week I visited my family in Maryland for a week and thought it would be a good idea to to stop taking subs all together. I made it to day 3 until I could no longer take that withdraws.. It was if I was crawling out of my own skin, I constantly chain smoked and had no energy to enjoy that last part of my trip, and could not sleep very well.. On my way back to the airport to go home t was to much being filled into a plain like a sardine and withdrawing so I had no choice but to take 1/8 8mg which made me feel 20 times better. I'm in dire need of some advice I don't want to be on this dam s^%* my whole life. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it. I mean there's got to be some more success stories than what's on this site. I want to quit this stuff for good soon....

I just found this site tonight, and it seems I am not alone!  I am glad of that; sorry for everyone else suffering too, though.  When I decided to see what would happen to me if I just quit taking the Subbies, on the second day, my muscles felt as if they were on fire.  It just sucked bad.  After taking the 2mgs, I was million times better.  I felt my body "warm up", and then broke a little sweat, and felt my mood change from restless to good.  Honestly, I'm scared to death of getting off this stuff.  I know it is going to be like going through hell through the eye of the needle.   :-|
