How are you doing now? I'm on day 5 and i finally got some sleep.
I think I'm day 14 and things are getting good. I haven't noticed the constant chills in days. After day 6, my biggest problem was my brain being flat and lack of sleep. It was hard to get motivated to do anything but once I was around people, I was able to forget that I was withdrawing. Right now, I'm getting almost 6 hours of sleep with no help. I seem to add about 15 minutes a night.
It really feels like it's all down hill from here. I don't care if it takes 6 months to completely heal like some people are saying. Every day seems to get better so I'm not thinking "this sucks", I keep thinking, "wow, I feel pretty good"

I am on day number 2 without any subs and only feel a little tired as of now. I know that I have a long road ahead of me and see that lack of sleep and shaking are two major symptoms of wds. Im extremely scared about the upcoming days but wanted to know if xanax will help out any? I am prescribed 2mgs a day but dont take that much so I have plenty in reserve. Does anyone know if benzos will knock some of the wds off?
I am on day 6 but i took small amounts of codiene for the first 3 days. then day 4 sucked so i went to my doctor and got a handfull of ativan(a milder longer-lasting benzo but similar to xanax) and days 5 and 6 have been a breeze. now i dunno if the codiene delays it so im actually only on day 3 because i was still taking opiates because i have read different people claiming it to be both ways. so who knows. if i am finishing up day 6, i am in good shape and xanax is amazing for wds. if i am only on day 3 and havent yet entered the storm i could be in for a rude awakening. im hoping its the former but ill let you know in a couple days.
look do what i do be smart get some ambien pop ambien at night when u start to get your worsst pains then smoke weed also im telling this works ive detoxed so many f*****g times .. during the day work out .. yes even tho u feel like sh*t work out and drink cleansing drinks ... theirs also tea herbel doctors can tell u to get.. and that sh*t really works.. if you try this method you will feel better no matter what b4 a month is up even the depression and that goes if you treat your body right.. the reason your bones hurt is because you have been draining your calcium by smoking h or doing opiates .. and the only way to get rid of the pains is to muscle build eat right n cleanse 14 to 18 is the usually feel better period
I was on approximately 450mgs of oxycodone after about 2 years of using. I tried to quit a few times..but was never successful..tried suboxone..tried methadone..couldn't get serious enough about it. I recently checked myself into a detox center and was prescribed a 2 week supply of suboxone upon getting discharged from the facility. I tapered myself down to 2 mgs a day after about 2 weeks and then quit cold turkey. The withdrawal symptoms were not as bad as going cold turkey off oxys would have been, but I can't tell you it was definately hell for a few days. Days 3-6 were the worst, and every day after 6 got better and better. I just sleeping better around day 11 and got most of my energy back by day 13-14. For a while I didn't think I would ever be able to feel normal again..but I am..I definately have a few psycological symptoms lingering..but nothing NA/AA can't help you with. For all those out there who thinks this will never end..PLEASE stick it out..it will be over soon. For me the symptoms that drove me insane was the insomnia, restless leg, and the malaise..Go to the doctor and ask for trazadone to sleep..Every night before I went to bed I took 100mg of trazadone (non-narcotic sleep aid) and went and took a hot shower to relax my muscles..Opiates can be kicked with the right support!
Let me shed some true light to this topic, as I feel a lot of people are misinforming the poor guys trying to get off of Suboxone.
I recently stopped Suboxone (Actually only 6 days ago!) and was on it over a year and a half. I started at 16mg a day, and went down to 8mg a day and stayed there for pretty much the entire duration of my Suboxone treatment.
My doctor ALSO told me that I wouldn't experience any withdrawl, but from previous experience with opiates and Suboxone (I had taken it for about a month then relapsed back onto Oxy/Heroin). I consider myself a strong, intelligent individual and I generally know what I'm getting myself into.
It's day 6 and I'm basically in the clear in my eyes. The only symptoms of withdrawl I still am experiencing is restlessness, slightly sore muscles, and some sweaty palms/twitchy legs. Let me tell you this with certainty for all of you currently getting off *IT IS WORTH IT, THINGS WILL GET BETTER, TRUST ME* I felt the same way, doubting I could ever live a normal, healthy life. I was depressed, couldn't eat, sleep, all I could do was cry. Trust me, these feelings are normal, your body is getting used to life without opiates. These feelings only lasted a few hard days (approximately 3). Take care of yourself, know your body. Most of you need to understand that you have gotten yourself into this situation (some didn't and I'm very sorry for them) but for those of you that have, this is a mountain that you must climb to get to the beautiful view at the top.
Suboxone withdrawl is real, this is true. What isn't true is that it lasts MONTHS, EVEN WEEKS. These people are either on RIDICULOUS doses or aren't being true with their stories and are taking other pills that are causing their withdrawl to carry on. I have written a small template below on how I did it, and how after 6 days, I am a free, happy, clean man.
**Note I weaned myself down from 8mg a day to 2mg a day within approximately a one month period before this experience**
Day 1 of no subs: I notice the withdrawl effects almost immediately. I begin to throw up, shake, I'm depressed and feel like I couldn't perform any normal day to day activity. The reason for this quick withdrawl is due to the fact I got myself down to a lose dose before I went for the Suboxone free mark.
Day 2: Surprisingly, even after a night of crappy sleep and sweating like a pig, I feel noticeably better already! I get a bit ahead of myself, and go for a 3 mile walk. I know this is not common for most as moving seems painful at this point, but try exercise as EARLY AS POSSIBLE, it helps recovery A LOT. At night, I experience the severe depression and feel like I've lost myself again, and that perhaps I can't live a clean life. Call someone you love when this happens, talk with them and be open with them. Some may find this hard, but opening up, shedding a tear here and there is healthy and will help you.
Day 3: I've been keeping food down for over 24 hours now, and my twitchy legs and restlessness has subsided slightly. I'm not depressed, in fact I'm feeling really happy that I'm starting to come out of the clouds. Again, exercise and eat as much as you possibly can. Stay hydrated, you will lose a lot of liquids due to sweating and irritated muscles. TAKE BATHS. DEAR GOD FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TAKE A BATH IF YOU CAN. This is quite possibly the most relaxing thing you can do. It helps your stomach, your muscles, it helps to relax you, therefore helping you to feel better mentally as well.
Day 4: Slight twitchy legs, sweats, hot/cold etc, but I'M IN THE CLEAR! I can go back to normal day to day activity, staying busy and keeping my mind free. Keep taking baths when your muscles hurt, stay hydrated, and exercise if possible.
Day 5/6: Every symptom listed above at this point as gone down more and more as time has progressed. I'm back at my job, I'm feeling clean, healthy and happy. THINGS DO GET BETTER.
I know this is a lot, but I hope it can encourage some of you about to make the scary trek through withdrawl of Suboxone. It is worth it, I promise you. I lost two and a half years of my life and almost the woman of my dreams over this, and I'm not about to let withdrawl send me right back that way. Get better all of you going through this, my thoughts are with you.
YOU CAN DO IT!

let's start with the premise that everyone (which we can assume/agree) is different and will have different reactions and outcomes to various situations in life. i was taking 3 40mg. oxycontin pills a day for approximately 4 yrs. i was my doctor's first patient to get prescribed suboxone in my part of the state that i live in. i like others was told that there would be very little if any withdrawal symptoms.
i started out taking 16 mg. a day for a 6-8 month stretch then felt that it was not necessary so i on my own started taking only 8 mg. a day for again another 6 months then went to 4 mg. for a couple of months and finally was taking 2 mg. then 1 mg. then chipping as litle as i could for the last few months. i got off oxy's once before after a much longer period of taking them by using methadone (liquid) and weaned down on that in a simliar fashion as the suboxone. it was and is much less painful than getting rid of all of the withdrawal symtoms that the suboxone creates. with that said i believe as most people do although i do not have actual experience that getting through withdrawal symptoms from meth and suboxones is much, much more difficult than getting off of oxycodone or hydrocodone. it seems that the meth and suboxone gets deep, deep into your bones and takes much longer to get out. now to me suboxone is great at first because unlike meth it contains an anti-antogonist which will block any use of opiates thereby rendering getting opiates and taking opiates useless and ultimately force you into making a clear choice that you want to finally get off of the suboxones too. i have a very bad lower lumbar L5 disc deficiency with facet problems and the worst part being that a nerve starting on the left side of my back is so damaged it creates without opiates the worst sciatica pain down my left buttock all the way down to the ankle. now for my withdrawal situation. i am on day 14 and feel worse today than i have felt on any other day(s) except for days 3, 4, 5. those were certainly the worst days by far. i felt like i was starting to feel better on day 6 although as all experience the nightime is absolute agony even now on day 14.
i still cannot sleep at all. i could and did not eat anything on days 3,4,5, but started to eat like crazy on days 6-12. now yesterday and today i feel like i am regressing and my appetite is lousy again. cannot get more than 1 hour of sleep a night. as others suggested taking hot, hot baths definitely gives you 15 minutes of less pain and a little relief but within 10 to 15 minutes i'm right back where i started. creepy crawly legs, unable to stay still in the bed at night, restlessness, heebie-geebies, you all know what i'm describing. but for my stomach to be hurting on day 14 worse than any other day is remarkable. to not be able to get more than 1 hr. sleep a night by day 14 is unreal. to still feel the achy legs and arms syndrome which alternates back and forth - sometimes the arms, later the legs is so hard to deal with mentally. i am still getting the chills and am noticing that i am sneezing more frquently throughout the day now than i did on any other days. i thought i would be out of the woods by now but it seems as if it is getting worse before it is going to get better and i have been told that it takes a good 30 days before you start to feel "normal" again. i hope not but it seems as if this estimate is more likely FOR ME than what others says is only 4,5,6,7, days of feeling crappy. the only good thing about suffering this badly and this long is that i know again FOR ME i will never take another pain pill again in my life for anything. if it was easy i guess there would not be the same incentive for wanting to quit. anyway, that's my story. i hope to g-d that every morning i will feel "normal" again and i have a few good hrs. in the day but throughout the day the pain and withdrawal symtoms come back to haunt me, but at night, every night, it is absolutely the worst. wishing every night that this will end the next day but it seems to be getting worse than better. now my left arm is staring to throb like it did on days 3,4,5, crazy huh? not imagining these symptoms. anyone else have similiar experience to mine?

I take 20mg day, went to a party at friends and someone took last of my subs. Have dry appt on Wed morning for refill, had 4mg on Fri and 4mg on Sat.....am I going to make it to my appt. Am I going to get withdrawl? So scared...
I would guess you are not going to make it till Wednesday without experiencing withdraws. If you do make it, it would be a good opportunity to cut way back. On Wednesday, 8mg might be enough. I was on 8mg, went the weekend with nothing, started experiencing withdraws, and 4mg was enough to stop them.
Don't be too scared, it might suck but it's not as bad as other withdraws.
You could also call your doc and tell him what happened. It happened to me and he refilled my script 2 weeks early. He asked me to get a police report. I told him I would but never did.

I need help. I have been on the SUB for 1 1/2 months after a serious surgery. Might need another one. I was an IV H user for 14 years clean 4 years. After the surgery they put me on this Duragesic patches. DOPE to me but I needed the sh*t for the pain. So I woke up one day and went to this doctor could not understand a word he said but YES! He wrote the suboxone I went home took it and went completely into withdrawl. Now a month later I am ready to come off. I am into 24 hours what am I headed for. Is a month and a half enough time for the body to become dependent on this c**p?
Sorry if I sound so mad it's just I didn't ask for this. I have been in AA for Almost 4 years and thought I would never have to deal with drug talk of how to come off for myself!!!!! IT JUST SUCKS!

I was on suboxone for 3 years....I had decided it was time to get off and live my life drug free!I had used drugs previously for 19 yrs.
Though Suboxone SAVED MY LIFE...I had no idea nor was i warned by my so called doctor that withdrawing from subooxne was
going to be a living HELL!I was on 24 mil. for 2 1/2 years,then weaned myself down to one 8 mil. then down to one
2 mil. then a quarter of that...BIG MISTAKE..Honestly, i'm not sure if it even made a difference weaning down because
i was near death with the worst symptoms EVER....The worst lastked for about 6 days,this included,hot~cold sweats,goosebumps,chills,which i think are the worst,especially while sick or trying to be warm...NO SLEEPING,This really bothered me..
Diarrhea for 4 days,lost 10 pounds in 6 days,VERY,VERY,WEAK!I could not walk for over a week,that alone is very scary,
people say you will be weak,but that's not even the WORD.....I felt hopeless,scared,nervous,and had the worst case of anxiety for a couple of days,i thought for sure my heart was going to jump out of my chest..I prayed to god to make it end,i'm not sure he listened..I took lots of hot, hot baths,stayed in there for awhile,once the water went cold i would fill it up again to stay warm and comfortable for as long as i could.I opted to NOT take any drugs to come off the suboxone,what is the point?I was told i could take methodone,Etc.to come off this S***.....But what is the point of that?Before you decide to come off suboxone or even wean your self down you need to check with a doctor who knows what they are talking about,and if possible DO NOT DO IT ALONE...Why suffer?I missed work for a week,with no pay....Im still feeling weird,i'm not sure when this will end,hopefully soon,i would not wish this on my worst enemy..Good luck,YOU WILL NEED IT,I PROMISE....

Hey Pammy,
First off, good for you getting clean after using for that long. A month and a half is a long to become dependent on Suboxone, however it isn't that long. How much were you taking a day?
You might not feel 100% for a few days, but do the following and I think you will be great!
1) Drink lots of water, take Valerian Root ONLY ONE at night to help relax from anxiety. It's important to only take this at night and only the first few days as you don't want your body to need help sleeping often.
2) Take a nice hot bath at least a few times a day, it will help relieve you for 15-20 minutes at a time and really helps you in getting 100% again.
3) Exercise (go for walks!) when you can muster up the strength. This helps rebuild endorphins that help heal you *much more quickly*
Keep your head up, the withdrawal will be absolutely NOTHING compared to what you have been through in the past. It will be worth it, and you will feel great when you are off it.
To give you a bit of background, I was on Suboxone for a year and a half and was able to get off it using these steps quite simply. I believe in you, this is totally worth it!
My thoughts are with you, this is nothing! You got this!

Anyone who chooses to go back to opiates and not fight the witdrawls is missing out on a happy and clean life.
When I was withdrawing it was HELLLLL!! Hands down the worst thing I have everrrrr experienced in my life.
You're gonna feel like not seeing anyone but you should get out and go for long walks even if ur dragging urself along a long walk really helps right before you lay down to go to bed at night. I kno I kno restless legs and insomnia are by farrr the worst part of witdrawl.
Even if its 2 am walk around the block a few times and then when u get back into ur house from walking a while lay in a HOT bath this will def make u feel wayyy better...hot baths are by far the best thing for restless legs...the second u get out of the hot bath jump in your bed and u will be able to sleep for a little bit...when u wake up a couple hours later repeat again jump in a hot bath and sooth ur leg cramps and jump back into bed again
Baths are not bad too because u sweat and helps the drugs leave ur body faster...drink a lot of water...urinate a lot ...take random walks...keep telling urself dammit I'm stronger than this I can beat this...if ur gonna sit there and let a little pill control the human that u are you'll never beat it...
Also another thing to do is write a journal when ur going through withdrawls trust me it helps
When u feel 100 percent better trust me the fight isn't over ...you will have a lil demon on your shoulder saying its ok to take a lil more and we tend to forget the hell we went through...when ur going through it u think ull never forget it but u do..and if u read that journal when u think about picking up it will remind u of the hellu went through
Be strong you can do it people ...do it cold turkey and I promise u when you come out of it you will be REBORN!!
