SUBOXONE DETOX OVER... NO ENERGY

Try taking a B 12 vitamin, and Vitamin B complex for the sluggish feeling. Also potassium is great for the cramps. You can try a potassium suppliment, or eat bannans they are loaded with potassium! It's also helps to avoid caffiene.

want to get off subs. doc didnt inform me they were addictive. told me just stay on them, its fine. was thinking of takeing meth for two weeks to brake the sub addiction. think it will work?

Hey I 'm sure nobody really wants hear this since it seems that you want the short taper. But from want I understand the w/d doesn't even really start until 4 or 5 days after you reduce. Something to do with the half-life of the suboxone. Anyway the cutting up of the pills below 2mgs. is a good start. I know it gets hard to do. I know of several people who have had success doing a liquid taper. Dissolving a small amount into a certain amount of water in a pill bottle and using a medicine dropper for the dosage. And they only taper again after a period of time when you know that your bady has adjusted to the new dose not 2 or 3 days later. They are having little to no w/d's at all. It definately takes longer but it is possible to get off this wonderful medication. I'm debating on staying on the suboxone long term but I should ever decide to stop this way is the way I will be doing it. Every person's body is diffrent and I'm sure there are some people have had horrible experiences on subs. But there are so many people who have great success and have a new chance at life because of subs. When I started my treatment I seemed to find all the horror stories and got so scared about what I thought was going to happen to me I almost stopped. I'm sure glad I didn't. My life has changed for the better. I don't know what would have become of me if I hadn't of stayed on this medication.

I think that your advice is defeinitely some of the most level-headed I'd read that people have been proposing here on the thread. How do you recommend cutting up pills below 2 mg? I think that would be pretty helpful to know. Thanks~!

I think they are using a pill cutter or knife. I found this info on on the forums. This site is very helpful. It's full of nice and helpful people. The originator of this method has detailed info there. So check it out. Hope to see you there and good luck.

i stopped taking percocet in may 2006 after being on them for over 8 years. i started the suboxone program 2 days later. one thing the doctors never tell you is that 3% of the people who take suboxone are allergic to the blocker naloxone. it was absolute hell getting onto the suboxone program. after 6 months of severe withdrawal, shakes, throwing up, i finally found a doctor who diagnosed me as being one of the few who were allergic to the naloxone blocker. when he prescribed subutex, it was like my life was finally normal. i was taking 4 8-mg tablets per day of suboxone, and switched to 3 8-mg tablets per day of subutex (buprenorphine only). i asked my doctor last year how long should i expect to be on subutex. he told me that sometimes people will need to be on it for life. i really do not want to be addicted to anything - whether percocet or suboxone or subutex. i agree with several posts that the doctors really don't care about the individual - just making $$ from keeping people on the program. i spend approximately $35 per month with prescription copays and $15 every 6 weeks for doctor visits, plus another $50 for councelling every 2 months. with this economy, i am really struggling, and do not want to be a slave to this addiction to subutex any longer. i started weaning myself off of subutex about 6 months ago. i am now down to 1/4 8-mg pill twice per day. i have been dropping the dosage by 1/4 pill per day every week. the only problem is that i cannot get below 1/4 pill twice per day without feeling like c**p - the normal withdrawal symptoms like cramps, feeling sick (flu symptome), sweating, lack of sleep. my goal is to be down to 1/4 pill every 2-3 days by the end of summer and completely off of subutex by the end of the year. i realize it will be a long process, but in the end it will be worth it. i read about all of the withdrawal problems, but i realize it is necessary to go through in order to be finally free of my addictions. i have been experiencing these problems everytime i step down my medication, so i know what is in store for me. once i am finally free of subutex, i will share my diet and exercise programs with everyone so hopefully, i can help others.

Hi, just like the rest of you I have battled drug addition for about 11 years. It has been a long shitty ride, I feel like it is almost over though.One thing that makes me really mad and sad is people getting one methadone for hydro or percicet withdrawl. I have detoxed of of almost everything and methadone is pure hell, I would rather die then go though methadone withdrawl ever again. I was at the M-clinic for 3 years, before that I was hooked on oxycontin for about 5. While @ the clinic I went up to over 100 mlg and slowly came down to 30 mlg, I was so tierd of the life of drugs that one day I just decided to quit cold turkey (Bad Ideal). I spent over 5 months laying in bed crying, it was the worst phisical mental and emotional time of my life,I wouldnt wish it for my worst enime. After 5 months of this I completly lost it, I just couldnt do it anymore!!! Luckily I have good people in my life that love me, and helped me find a rehab and they paid (I dont have insurance). At this rehab they gave me suboxone I had never had it before, It had been so long since I had anything that I felt pretty good. I wasnt high or anything I just felt like I could act normal fro once. THe whole time I was there they gave me subs, after 28 days they said I would be fine just that advil for pain. Ha Ha: this lasted for about a week and a found an out pactiant program that gave subs I did that for two months. I ran out of subs for two weeks and started feeling better, but not good enough to get my life together.So two days ago I found a doc to prescibe me subs I have enough for eight months, I hope if I take them right then I should have a pretty easy withdrawl.From what I understand if you get down very low like a .25 of a mlg dose one day miss a day or two dose miss even more etc..... thats its not that bad I hope so and good luck everybody

I done the suboxone. It is a strong mediction, it has a ceiling effect. This stuff works wonders getting you off other drug bu :-P t when you guit the suboxone it is worse. Suboxone is a stong megication. It builds so much more endorpinns on your brain receptors. It will take time! Just hang in there. :-)

What I have found coming off my addiction is to have a plan of action. Plan about at least seven days off work or what ever. If possible go to the Dr and get precriptions for Mussle Relaxers, About 20 day supply of Klonipin, and get some amodium. Drink lots of water and Gator aid. All this will help tremdously with the withdrawls. And do alot of praying you will get through your withdrawls. I tried the Suboxone and i guess i was alergic to the naltrexone because i had every side effect they have. I went through a month of pure heel and I had to get off them. Plus eventually you will have to come off the Suboxone and it is not pleasent. As i said in my other post i went on suboxone to get off Hydrocodone and then had to get back on Hydro to get off the Suboxone. Then I used the plan above and I have had very little withdrawl symptoms. Also if you can get some Neurotin this will help also. Good luck to all and God Bless you. :-D :-D
