First it was buprenex (injectable) then it was Subutex now Suboxene. That gives you an idea how long I have been taking
this so called medication. My doctor (Dr. Segal) was more interested in the research study of all of the above and I was his
guena pig. I had a crush on my doctor and he knew it, so I said yes to what ever medicine he prescribed. Now he's retired and
I decided it is time for me to detox off Suboxene. Taking 2-8mg tablets a day sometimes three is quite a bit. I bought myself
a pill cutter and started cutting down. When I got down to half a tablet that is when all hell broke loose. I became tearful, horrible pain
in my legs, irritable, depressed (putting it mildly), thoughts of suidcide, a real Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde. My insurance doesn't cover
detox. Can't even get in touch with my doctor, or leave a message. The only people that I speak to are the phone operaters, believe
me they are not helpful. I find the night is the worse. Pot helps when I can afford it. Most part I pray to God to let me die for I don't
know how much more hell I can take. The scary part I am not completely off. My doctor is rich, even bought the building that he had his office.
It sadden's me that people get rich off people like myself who was born with the disease of addiction. They are drug dealers with a license, there
not real doctors anymore!

Hello. I've. Never struggled with an opiat addiction but I am an alcoholic. I checked into rehab a few months ago and it was the best thing I could've done for myself. With my experience and in theory, if you take something out of your system it needs to be flushed and detoxed out but replaced with something else right away to make normality more bearable. My advice is lots. And lots of healthy fresh fruits veggies and vitamin supplements. If you're not some that enjoys excersize too much a sanna is a good idea. You'll sweat out ALL toxins after a few sessions of this. Just be sure you have liquids vitamins and nourishing food to try replacing the chemicals your body craves. After a few sessions of excerize, sanna, healthy eating and vitamin introduction your body will except this as a replacement to the opiates, alcohol, or other chemicals. An antidepressant script would help too. Getting sober takes work but you'll feel better and healthier doing the listed above. Worked great for me and dropped my withdrawling stages significantly. Thx counseler ron and johnny ;)

I really love your post because it's exactly what I am trying to do. I have now weaned myself down to .5mg/day, and with the strips, it's great because you can cut them up so tiny (but they stick to your fingers and it can be hard to take). I'm have about 1.5 weeks to get down to the smallest dose I can because I've taken a week off work in 1.5 weeks to let myself detox. I'm absolutely terrified because I've had to kick Vicodin and Percocet before, and I'm afraid it's going to be just like that.....the image of Trainspotting (where he gets handcuffed to the bathroom sink) keeps coming to mind. The weaning down process has been fine, except when you get to the smaller doses and start decreasing by 50% rather than 25%. I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable, NO motivation whatsoever, a little depressed, but not too bad, just slightly uncomfortable.
What I keep trying to think of is if women can go through childbirth, we can all get through this! I just try to think that it's going to be uncomfortable, and it's going to suck, but I can get through it......and we will come out on the other side free off everything! My dr. prescribed me Seroquel, and Clonodine to help with the detox. He also prescribed me Naltrexon (?) because he said it with jumpstart the withdrawals and they'll be worse, but I'll get over them faster.....does anyone know about that?? I'm kind of scared to take it knowing that it will make them worse!!!!
So, for all of you out there, if you don't hear from me again, that means I've successfully detoxed and I'm out living my life so don't need to blog about suboxone anymore!!!! ;) (I pray that's the case ;)

No dont, get it behind you, I have never gone thru this nor could i have imagined it. I'm in my second day 3rd dose just took it, sitting in a hotel alone my wife wont talk to me have not had human contact for weeks. Im scared after I taper. I'm doing a fast 15 day. I the calender and the doses and all im doing 2 8mg a day and then the tapper. I have gone thru the W/D from oxy, i could not have even thought it. oh my god its painful. and that was in between prescriptions 4 day, I have a bottle waiting for me on Friday 120 10/325 oxy my regular prescription...Im not going to do it. i cant, i want my life back. i will never have a good woman or future if i pick it up. the suboxone has to work. it is now at 2 8mg a day that not hard. I used to be a body builder competed and all of it. I know nutrition and the body. i had those cramps and the pain at night. im thinking cramp and all of it. there has to be information out there on supplements and things to take for it. cramps are usually potassium depletion Im going to research it and ill let you know if you look ok. I know acupuncture will help takes the pain away faster then a pill it does ....look at doing that find one and try it. come on i have a up hill battle yet man dont let me down and i will not let you down...I'm sick of his . high low high low. and i hate this hotel room... sorry about the writing im dizzy from the suboxone and not eating much.

Hello Kerry,
I am also doing a fast tapering off due to my insurance refusing to pay. Believe it or not drink Gatorade. I had the worst pain shooting down my legs and could not get comfortable no matter which side I laid. Drinking Gatorade, poof the shooting pain down my legs gone. Try it and let me know if it works for you. By the way I am down to 1mg.
Good Luck

Good Morning Ker,
Today I am down to 1/2 a mg. Can't sleep either. The worse thing is being alone. I read that a good colon cleanse help's. I started one. Try taking a klopin or smoking pot. That helps me allot!! Did you drink Gatorade?
Good Luck & God Bless

P.S. I was taking 8mg 3x a day

I am 25 yrs old .. i got addicted to opiates when i was 18 yrs old .. i got on Methadone @ 20 yrs old .. then Suboxone @ 22yrs.. Today I am 20 days clean off the c**p .. i was taking 8 mg everyday for 2 yrs. then went to 2mg for a yr. .. Im going to tell it like it is .. days 3-7 are def. the worst days of w/d's .. if you can take a klonopin or 2, to help with sleep, legs, or whatever else for just them couple of days .. for me the physical w/d ended after 2 weeks .. it was hard but you can do it .. after that it's just mental .. the mental isn't bad for me except for 1 day .. idk why i was just like fk everything fk me fk the world .. but then the next day i woke up with a whole new mindset .. just stay busy doing something .. GOOD LUCK EVERY1 .. I never in a million yrs. think that I would get off this c**p .. but I'm here .. and ready to start a new life ..

I took that first half yesterday and it 11 o'clock and i feel ok as ok can be
besides all the mental strain and hurt I'm going through......yea I hate everything at the moment as well...i wish i didn't have to take that other half. I think about not taking it.....and saying bring it on and get over it i will get through it and not prolong this craziness...I'm going to try and go to he gym for 30 minutes today and just move around. the Gatorade has potassium in it so yes i believe you it helped...anyway let get through this and go be happy in are lives and use this as a memory and a way to get through things in life just never forget it never. im going to go get a MP3 player and start pulling music because i love music and i stopped when i started taking those pills
