I have heard Wellbutrin is an effective med for helping with motivation after coming off opiates. Also my sub doctor told me people under 25 have a much easier time coming off, where 30 plus people with ten or more years of addiction really struggle.

You ar right. Suboxone has is half opiate. It just buys you time. I can take 1/16th and make it through work, gym sleep everything. If I take that little piece away, I am back to cold turkey withdrawal. I have heard that Adderol, an ADD drug is good for kicking opiates. I will try that next.

Hi to all and good luck with the detox, be determined that u will make it through. I am on day 6 and the shitz are almost gone as well as chills and my appetite is coming back slowly. I am real tired though and had to work all week throgh this hell. luckily i have my own business and only worked 2 hours a day but man was it hard. i get home and am too tired to even lay down. still my sleep is way out of whack and hd to get something to sleep, the dr. gave me ambien and i thought it would give me some rest but after 2 hours i still could not sleep and took another one.finally slept for 4 hours then up and restless. somehow i fell back asleep for an hour or so but today i was so tired again. i am so glad i have sat and sunday to not work and try and relax. I am going to get a colonic soon and see if that helps get rid of the poison. been taking all kinds of vitamins and trying to eat healthy. went to a vietnamese restaurant and got some chx soup with vegies and noodles,fish sauce and hosain sc and it tasted so good i could not believe it. it was the best thing i have eaten all week cause my appetite has been bad.. but i am going to make it for sure!! this is crazy feelin so shitty for so long and from what i hear i still have a few weeks to go and maybe longer to get my energy back. wow, should have looked at all this before my brother gave me one.. and i was only taking vicodin for months, no heavy stuff. but i felt so good and could work like an animal every day. now i feel like i am 80 years old and that sucks. well i wish u all the best and just suck it up and stay with it, sooner or later we wlll be normal again, yippee.. i been prayen hard too, that cant hurt.

My husband has tried detoxing from Suboxone at least 10 times in the past 2 years. I t has left him miserable and destitute. He always gets back on or gets on other opiates. He has been on Suboxone for at least 4 years. He is sluggish, no memory, tired, etc He is detoxing without a doctor. He has done this many times. What can I expect and what can I do? He has been drug free for 4 days and it is Hell!!

hi everyone, i've never written on one of these but read a lot. I'm in the same situation as many of you. I have detoxed cold turkey, with suboxone, tappering, all of it, and all of it many times. there is something i notice no one ever mentions..... WATER!! on one of my cold turkey adventures water saved me. Muscle and body aches are caused by dehydration....i drank about a gallon a day, yes i had to pee every hour but i was convenced that i was ridding my body of this evil stuff. the muscle aches were so much milder!! it was amazing! so to all of you no matter how you are trying to detox please add lots of water into your daily plan.... you have no idea how much it will help.

It is Day 8, off of Suboxone! I tapered off from 24mg, to 16mg, 8mg, well I'm sure you can do the math. I've taken this medication for over 6yrs!!!!! Day 1, piece of cake, not so much anymore. I DO NOT want to take it and I know this shall pass! I've withdrawled from herion, methadone, etc, and of course all is HELL!!!!!! But I have to say, this has been awful!!!!!! I do not sleep, I can not keep food down, I have diarehea, I drink water w/ electrolytes, tea, anything to make my body cleansed. I sneeze so bad, uncontrollably so, like 10 plus times! CRAZY!! I'm so tired but can't sleep, I have cramps, headaches, vomiting, etc. I do not recommend long time use of this med-especially since it is new, its only been out since 2002, does anyone know truly the side effects!! Methadone was bad, but by far this has been worse. I have been an addict for over 16yrs. then 6 on suboxone, most dr.s don't even know what I'm talking about! "Could you spell that for me?" That is all the help I get. I'm grateful I have made it 8 days, I can only think it has to get better one day. Has 2, RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! I suppose I should count my blessings and Thank the Lord above I am still alive!

Im relieved to hear that there are other people experiencing similar things. I am on 1 mg of sub and I'm thinking about taking that jump. Does anyone have any suggestions? Things they wouldn't do, things they would've done differently. Has anyone heard that silver treatments help. I'm open to Any suggestions, opinions etc and appreciate any feedback.

I've been on suboxone for a year now. I last took it 96 hours ago. I had to switch from the sublingual to the film and found that my dose quadrupled overnight from 2 mg to 8 mg. Evidently the film metabolizes faster in my body than the sublingual. I thought that this would for sure limit my withdrawal time to 3 days as it had been with other opiates which also kept the pain away for no more than 12 hours. Well i'm obviously wrong. The first 1-2 days weren't that bad but night 3, last night was a horror. Relentless muscle spasms first around my heart and then my arms. My body would convulse every 2-3 minutes, just about when i began to relax. I read up about this stuff before deciding to stop. I found people said that lopramide, its an anti diarrheal, worked for one symptom and it has. I Take advil for the aches and try to drink gatorade and eat as much as i can. FOUR days is too much of this and i'm not sure I can go through another night of this. I'm goin through it!!!! How much longer is this going to go on? In my vast experience, i've fought addiction for 20 years it only takes me three days. Suboxone has a longer half life but how much longer??????

This is the se4cond time I've been on Subpoxone, The first time I started off with 2 8mg tabs in the morning and 2 at night . I weened myself down by stopping the night dose and hardly noticed there was just lack of enegery then continued to cut my dose in 1/2 every 2 weeks untill I was taking chips barly big enough to taste. I would sneeze alot in the morning. I had to get a tooth pull so I stopped taking that chip size piece for 24hr before the surgery then got put on perocet 10mg after I finished the 5 daysupply of percocet I never too the suboxon again and felt nothing other that direia for a short period. Now I don't have money for a dr or my script and trying to come off at about 4 mg a day and it is hell!
