SUBOXONE DETOX OVER... NO ENERGY

I hear so many contradicting stories about suboxone detox that I don t know what to do.I am taking 3 8mg/2mg daily that I feel like my life is ruined.The prescribing doctor said it was an easy detox when I got on it.I dont know what to do.One place that I called said that a patient hung herself trying to detox herself.

I know someone who commited suicide recently trying to get off subutex,. If your on it then its a death sentence. Its impossible to get off...

i agree, if i were you i would make appointment with a suboxene doctor, just tell the doctor the truth they hear it all and the truth will set you free and doctor will be able to help you and do what is best for you and the baby... possilbly a low dose of what is called subutix same a suboxene but will not hurt the fetus...........then after pregnancy doctor can help you with continue suboxene instead of street drugs and if want the doctor will help you to taper off if that is your goal.

I ABSOULEUTLY AGREE, take it slow there is no rush hey i didnt get addicted over nite to anything so becoming unaddicted takes time............i am taking it slow, a doctor, not a suboxene doctor, set up two week taper and i dont feel i need to suffer getting off suboxene. i am slowly lowering my dose. in first week i have gone from 16mg a day to 12mg. and over next week or two hope to be at 8 or 10mg.......plus i am not positive if i totally want to quit because the suboxene does help with my pain issues and i never get cravings to use illegal drugs..........i just dont want to rush my detox get really sick and set myself up to go out and use my drug of choice heroin..i havent used heroin in nine years...i had been off everything than a car accident and i was hooked on vicoden and i went the suboxene route. many years ago i was on methadone and that was very very hard to get off of...........i went to hazelden treatment center to get off the methadone.. suboxene feels nothing like methadone. i am all over the place on this post sorry. all in all i am trying to state if you want to get of subs it is possible the slower you go the less withdrawal dont rush your body and also sometimes some people can benefit from staying on a low dose to help with cravings, but overall yes it is possible to detox from suboxene the slower the less pain or no pain at all cut the stripes until your taking one mg a day for a while and then the stopping will not be such a shock to your body............good luck Goid bless think positive and keep going forward.............

Yeah apparently new reports are coming to light how sub permanently damages the brain that you will never ever get energy and will always be depressed..Also going or staying on suboxone is just as worst, seems no way out..Suicide seems only way out for long term users, there isnt just anyway..

Tapering isnt going to make a inch of different, matter infact worse.

Ok here goes nothing. My story, first I want to thank the very Few people who stuck by me at the worst of the worst.#1 my boyfriend #2 mom dad and sister. #3 ibuprofen #4 a single trazadone tablet and#5 my son who is 7 in April who had no idea what his mom was hiding. It all started with OxyContin thousands of dollars worth. Blah, blah, blah... Once that got taken off the market in my state I started suboxone : ( I was great full at the time because I was young and know now I was not serious about giving up the opiates for good. Kicked the suboxone after being on it for about roughly 5 months- cold turkey, for my current boyfriend. I was on a considerable dose mabie between 12 to 8 mg a day. Took me a good 7 days of withdrawals. Day 8 was suboxone free for about a year. My first relapse. After being clean a year and a day, I turned to opiates at a party = | morning after party more opiates day after that more opiates. Ahhhh! After about 5 days of opiates I got my first sign of w/d's. Immediately got onto suboxones again......................................for about a year. Quit cold turkey. Yet again. Of f the same mg as the first. Approximately 4 days of wd's. Was clean for two years and guess what happen, I turned to opiates at a party. After about eight months of opiates whenever I could get them. Which brings my to my current and final detox Yet Again cold turkey. It is currently day 8 or 9 and I am still having w/ d's yesterday I took a trazadone and got my first night of sleep, we'll since its morning I guess that I took that on night 7. Last night no traz I barley slept. Now it's day 9 after I post this I'm off to work. I never again want to go through this. Once I get that first night of sleep. I'm throwing this story out of my head and never looking back. I am 22 years old I have been through a lifetime in  22 years. I want to retire from this life and start my new drug free happy normal life. I want to also thank the people on the soboxone forums for listening and sharing. Suboxone has been a cruch for me at desperate times but if something you ingest makes you feel the way w/d's do it shouldn't be used. I blame physicians and pharmacies for not doing their jobs on prescribing the right medication to patients. If they did no one should sell illegally and no one would buy illegally. It's never going to change Drugs will always be my battle but I can reassure myself and everyone I'm scared and don't know what I'm doing right now because I'm on day 9 of detox and living on roughly 6 hours total of sleep in 9 days. But I know what I'm not doing opiates or soboxone ever gain. So with that said thanks again god bless and good luck with your battles. Jessica

And to relate my story to this post I rarely if ever, experienced serv

Ugh! severe depression I was more violent and snappy on suboxone, however I do feel more able to fit in and be social on subs but still does no matter if you are going due decide to detox off any drug never ever ever turn to another taganist. Kick and kick until your legs kick no more. 

And m pretty sure you will not die from detoxing off sub ozone or sub utex unless you try the toxins off like 400 mgs aday or have severe depression from wd's

I would love for you to post some of these reports you are referencing. There is absolutely no data to support these claims. Let me guess, these reports also state it (Subs) ruins your teeth? Again, completely untrue. Sub is a tool, it is completely your responsibility to use these tools properly. That includes doing your own research and making sure you captain your ship in regards to treatment time and dose. I was a methadone patient at a local clinic for over 2 years. As with Subs I heard how impossible it was to get off of it and that it is a life-sentence. I systematically reduced my dose from 120mg/day down to 1mg/day, then I made the jump (completely stopped). Was it easy? Of course not. Anything worth having will take effort and determination. I will not pretend to make it sound easier than it was. Once I got below 3mg the restless legs and lack of sleep was becoming an issue, that was while I was still on the methadone. Once I completely stopped it got worse. However, it was never so bad to make me waiver. After 2 weeks I had a runny nose, sensitive gag reflex and an overall uncomfortable feeling. That lasted a good week – 10 days. Afterwards things started getting better. In the end it took 6 weeks after I stopped before I felt “normal”. Keeping in mind I was dealing with minor WDs 4 weeks prior to stopping completely. In total I dealt with 2.5 months of symptoms to reach my goal, to be completely independent of any substance. I’m no hero or superman. It takes effort, resolve and determination. In the end all of us started taking one substance or another because we did not want to deal with something. Guess what, you cannot run forever and sooner or later all of us have to stop and deal with the scenarios we have created. Life is truly a beautiful thing for me now, unfortunately all of us will have to go through hell to get to heaven. I am going to be 100% honest with all of you, whether you agree or disagree, 90% of this battle is in YOUR head. What made my detox simpler is to not dwell on the reality of your situation. Get up, get out and do something. I know how difficult it can be while you are lethargic, depressed & not feeling good. The irony of that is once you do it, all of those things do not dominate your psyche and are not as relevant at that time. Take it one day at a time and do not think of it as 2 months of hell, but one day at a time. The end result is so worth the trouble, if there is any advice or help I can give any of you please let me know. Positive thoughts equal positive results!!

You cant rely on ink data, you dont need ink date to accept whats happening to people and the side effects of certain drugs..We ARE the data, as they say street councelors/doctors are more clued on then non-addict degree doctors.

The fact is am another one who was sucidle coming off suboxone, trust me the real sh*t starts around 6 months, and it does not let up..I was 11 months clean from suboxone and it was getting BAD, VERY BAD MENTALLY.. I had to on methadone just to live, no lie....

Too many people have reported the exact same symptoms for us to wait or reply on so called data.. Too many people have or are struggling to come off suboxone to rely on data and dismiss our symptoms and theories...Too many people simply do not make it off suboxone for us to dismiss that as non-suboxone related...

WAKE UP! smell the coffee...SUBOXONE IS EVIL...Come back in 6 months and tell us your doing alright, boy your in for a hard ass depressive ride...

You also dont like to stay on suboxone because it basically makes you feel the same as though your coming off suboxone...If you yourself weren't struggling you wouldn't be on detox forums such as this one... I personally honestly think we are all fked for life...Cant stay on subs and cant get on subs, what a shitty life to lead, so depressing, thats the worst symptom related to suboxone and coming off it..

Thanks for any responses.
