SUBOXONE DETOX OVER... NO ENERGY

Symptoms of withdrawal from Suboxone can include:

1. Nausea and vomiting.
2. Muscle/body aches.
3. Insomnia or drowsiness.
4. Indigestion.
5. Anxiety, depression, and irritability.

It took me over a month to have energy again and a good night sleep. The restless legs was the WORST

My name is Joe 30 days clean off of subs I'm still tired and pain . Not as bad as first 20 days but it's just wearing on me how long this is lasting

I was on subs for 2.5 years, Percs for a few years before that. Started at 16 mg, down to 4 mg before a i jumped. I got tired of spending money for
The script so jumped at 4 mg, which I don't recommend. I'm 30 days into WD and I can honestly say that I feel great. First week was hell like everybody else, but took tons of
Vitamins, water, walked a lot when I was up for it. I didn't rely on benzos or other drugs to get me through. I didn't have much support and had to take care of my son through it all which made me stay off my butt and stay busy which kept my mind off the pain.

I still have moments of muscle aches, RLS at night and depression can set in occasionally, I try to view it as my brain just repairing itself. Starting to have moments of natural highs which feels AMAZING. I occasionally have a few beers which make me feel like my old self but it sets me back a few days after that so now I'm staying away from the booze, and caffeine.

My word of advice is to fill your body with water, vitamins and nothing but fruits and veggies. I could really tell the difference when I eat healthy versus fast food etc. Time is the only thing that gets us through this, I wish I could fast forward time, but this struggle will only make us stronger. My mantra has been "no weapon formed against you shall prosper" from the book of Isaiah.

Wow this sounds good.. I know it will take forever to really get through this , but I hate being on the subs. I have been on for about 8 months. Subtext 1st from a friend & id take a 1/4 of a pill a day. Then I went to a doctor who prescribes me 2 ( 8-2mg) suboxone films a day. I've NEVER taken more than a 1/2 a film in a day. Now I take like an 8th of the strip. But I have Low low energy levels, I'm grumpy, & unhappy. I am normally such a happy go lucky , loving life type of person. Ready to get off of this sh*t. I Hate it.. I've become a person I don't even know. I miss the old me. Ready for a change. I'll go through hell if I truly can Overcome this Demonic Suboxone..

PLEASE HELP!!!
I cannot stop taking Subtext. My Rx is 20mg daily for chronic fibromyalgia pain. I was active and outgoing when using Tramadol however my doctor stopped giving me this specific Rx. So I met with the only pain management doctor in town. However he also refused to prescribe Tramadol and would only write a script for Subutext. I am so discouraged and upset that my life has completely changed since taking this drug.

I cannot think straight or perform required job duties accurately. For the last 6 months I have been trying to bring my dose down and lowered it to 6mg daily. Without it I shake, feel unwell, and am completely exhausted. It feels as though all energy has drained out of me. I arrive late to work and involuntary fall asleep at my desk. I cannot keep my eyes open, stay focused and struggle to complete tasks. My job is at risk.

Without it I have ZERO energy. With it CANNOT perform work duties. Please help...how do I stop Subutex???

Thanks!

I jumped off on 12 mg, which was stupid, but my entire life was numb. Everything was starting to fail. I decided to go to a low cost inpatient detox. (250.00) I was there a few days, then went to visit family in Myrtle beach. The first 10 days were very on and off. I had Kratom at about 7 mg at a time, to ease stress. If you try and take a plethora of drugs to sleep, and they do not work, avoid it altogether. You will start losing your cool. Mentally, I knew what I was in for. I knew from my past it would be the hardest time of my life, but I made the change to be me again!
After 23 days, I'm sleeping 5 to 10 hours a night, which varies widely. But during the day I take hydroxycut and some pre workout powder and creatine. Get a boost of energy and get some exercise. Have someone drag you, if needed.
I saw my sub doctor yesterday. He was concerned of relapse, but didn't push the issue. I wanted to get vitals and a blood draw. I also got something for sleep and pain. A 25 mg Seroquel was all it took for me....at this point, at least. I have gabapentin for muscle/nerve pain. Its a tough thing to do, but as each minute passes, you start to understand the universe does not revolve around you.
Stay busy, stay active, stay vigilant. But DO NOT stay in your house. Go to meetings or talk to friends about your struggle. Thank your -------- that you were born with strength. Try to right your wrongs. Try to do things you used to love.
After 8 years of this hellride, I'm no longer numb to pain and suffering. I no longer have to hurt my family and most of all, my wife, by being "absent". I no longer have to hide under this shroud of a falsified, self serving reiteration of my former self. I no longer live with the fear that I may die of an overdose. That is the fear that will snatch you right into the light.
This is a long process. You have hurt others without knowing it. You now have to live with the consequences. Look in the mirror and tell your reflection how weak you are, you're still lying to yourself. The good thing about your reflection? It is always true!
Start now. Tell the truth. Tell yourself how strong the human mind and body can be. This festering sh*t inside of you will pass. You just need to look this demon in the face and say, it's over!

Ten 10 years on suboxone 24/for whatever it was I am in my 3rd wake of withdrawal and can barely move my My legs everything feels like I'm exhausted to the point of just sleep and I can't slate 3 weeks and after 10 years on the stuff for pain management any ideas people

I'm feeling your thougjts. Why can't I just go back on the subs when life was easy. Feel like going through this to feel worse than before I started playing with opiates as I already had bad body pains and aches and seemed opiates took all that away and I could finally be the person I wanted to be, pain free of everything. 5 days into a turkey and thinking is this really worth it. Easier just to pop a couple pills when I feel I need them

Sub withdrawls last forever. Nine years on that drug. Dr stopped me in four days. Been two months and I can't stand the exhaustion

Hopefully one day you wake up and it's all back to normal that's what I'm praying on. I'm two months off after 4 years and it f*****g sucks every day

Seems ending only thing that works for restless leg syndrome at least weakens it

Ment to say endone

I tapered myself off subs within 3 months after being on them for 5 years, cut myself down to 2 mg a day and then ran out my primary prescribed me clonodine after about a week of withdrawal, still in the process of taking those but only for a month total. I still have no energy but they have helped with my chills, sweats and mental alertness just not physical energy. Any recommendations on how to get some energy back??

I've been on suboxone for a total of 15 years, since 2003, it's now 2018. I did a month long taper dropping from 12mg per day down to .5mg. The hardest part for me was taking it only once every 24 hours. I was stupid and dropped from 12mg down to 2mg to speed up the process. During the taper it felt like withdrawal (diarreah and anxiety) but I always looked forward to the evening because I knew I would get my dose. My taper looked like this: 2mg for 7 days, then 1.5mg for 7 days, then 1mg for 7 days then finally .5mg for 7 days. Then I was supposed to do every other day but after 48 hours I said there's now way I'm doing this for two more weeks so I jumped off.
My withdrawal really hasn't been bad compared to previous times I kicked. The first time I quit suboxone I didn't taper and it was horrible and I relapsed. Now I'm on day 12 totally off suboxone. I still have diarreah, insomnia, chills, sneezing (a lot and I never sneez usually), but the worst part is how week and shaky I feel. But that being said the taper made it way way easier.
- ps
The weakness I'm feeling could be from low testosterone. I've been on subs for so long it lowered my testosterone to that of an eighty year old (I'm 34). That is why I quit and why everyone else should quit as well, even girls need testosterone. It was crazy it felt like I was withdrawing even though I was on my full 12mg dose, I was horribly depressed and had no motivation. Low testosterone is really bad and nobody ever told me long term opiate use would eventually take it away.

Once again if you taper it is totally doable. Look at my situation on suboxone for 15 years. I couldn't even find anybody on the internet with a similar situation, I thought I was gonna die during withdrawal. But here I am day 12, life sucks pretty bad but not nearly as bad as I thought it would at this point.
If I can do it then you can do it.
