Im male, 23 yrs old. Ive been an addict half my life (oxys,percacet,ultram,lyrica,adderal) basically anything that will keep you from going into withdrawl. This is Day 4 of quiting suboxone cold turkey(4mg a day). Ive been taking suboxone for about 2 months. (no other drug) and i feel like i have a small flu and alotta anxiety and depression (the horror story's on here dont help!) until I read your story and biblical scripture, anything is possible through christ and im going to stay positive thanks for the motivation! Btw i cried the last half of yer story! Pray for me, this isn't a picnic and im never going to let my life get to this again. Hope yer still well. >God bless

Hi My name is Bruce, presently I am on Suboxone but only on 2mg/0.5, Ive been on that dose for now maybe a month. I came off of methadone but the withdrawls were really bad. My doctor thinks I am takeing 2 films a day, but I am only takeing one, half in the morning and half in the evening and I really feel OK. but eventually since my dose is low , I'm going to wean myself off very slowly. But one thing that I have learn from all the post is to keep on this low dose and don't exceed what I'm on because the high the dose the harder it will be to come off. thanks for your post. email me, love to hear from you.

Not sure when you have viewed this last- but WOW if I have not just read my worn story- for the most part!!!  I recently have stopped the Suboxone after waaaaay too long(6 yrs)- and I am just adjusting to not having to take ANYTHING to feel normal- I love it!!!  But it's different and scary!!!  :-)  Very wonderful to know I'm not alone!!!  

Thankyou for your message because it encouraged me ive been on percocets for almost 3 years i am now on day 6 wit subs n i want to stop after today because i dont want to become addicted to this please facebook me so we can talk more i can use a godly friend.....God bless u im sure u inspired alot of people

hello, my name is mark, i am 50 yrs old and on my 14th day of going cold turkey off suboxon. reading your story has hopefully helped me , my biggest fear is my job. it is hard physical labor and very stressful, i amat the stage of very minimal sleep and my mind is like scrambled eggs. i cant wait to just feel normal again. ihave been praying more the last 2 weeks than in the last 30 yrs. thanks for your story , iwill definitely use it to keep moving forward.

I thank you and God. Today is day 21. My story is long like everyone else, was on oxycodone for 9 years didn't realize what I was going threw was withdrawl, thought something else was wrong with me so the only thing that made me feel better or normal was oxy. I then was on suboxine for 14months. It also would make me feel good enough to function. The last 2 to 4 months on less than 1mg a day, after I read your story I finally figured it out, then just stopped. Your day by day has been almost exactly like mine. The one problem I am still having is sleeping. Don't want to get hooked on ambian, so I'm having restless nights and skipping it as much as I can. From talking to a friend with same issues looks like I have another 10 days or so before sleep gets back to normal. As you are aware I am almost home free. It's like welcome back, back to life! I am truly blessed to have read your story, might have saved my life. I am a father of 3, and happily married for 20 years, also been able to make a great living through all this. No telling where I might have ended up without seeing your story. Thanks so much you are a true angle! Bill

The medical community I'm sure can come up with some type of medication that can help a person come off of Suboxone etc, without a lot of bad withdrawals. If a company can come up with a product like " Withdrawal Ease", I am sure something can be done about coming off Suboxone. However, when it comes to money and you being sick, folks just don't care and that is the truth, money for them comes first. As long as you are paying that co-pay or they can bill your insurance, they don't care and they want you to stay on this product because you are paying the bills. peace  

Thank you. This lifted my spirits. I quit suboxone cold turkey. Was taking 16mg a day for about 2 1/2 years. I have no motivation to do anything. Cant sleep. I live in Winthrop Harbor, Il.. Right next to Lake Michigan. I went to the beach today. Relieved a little anxiety. Im taking Ritalin, Seroquel XR, Xanax, and Celexa. I don't abuse them. The Ritalin helps with the motivation for about half the day.. The Xanax helps me sleep, if I take 3mg. I don't want to get hooked on that though. I havent slept well. I lay around half the day. I just wish this would go away. I am a man of Faith, and firm believer in Christ. We all learn from pain. Even though it sucks.. Pray for me will ya. Thanx. - Travis M Heady

I was taking 120-150 mgs. of oxycontin for about a year. Ran out and went int 7 days of WD hell. I recently was put on Suboxone by a Dr. that said I could stay on them for years. I stayed on 8-16 mgs for 6 months and then weaned myself to 4 a day and jumped off. I was expecting the hell of opiate WD but never got it. I had some symptoms but a great deal lighter than with the oxy WD. I have heard of others not having horrible WD from subs and I guess that just points out the difference in body chemistry.

Thank you sooo much for your post!! I was on day 4 of WD from Suboxone when i came across this. I had been on it a little less then 9 months for a pain pill dependancy from having fractured my neck, torn tendens and a lot of nerve damage.. I know my Heavenly Father gave me the strenghth, courage and will to do this. My experience was pretty much the same. Day 4 was the worst day by far and I came across this, it really helped me and encouraged me to keep praying and push through! I did it :) :) :) :)!! Im the happiest ive been in so long! Anyone can do this just stay strong and remember THERE IS A MUCH BRIGHTER LIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS! Good luck and god bless :)
