I just quit subs 4 days ago. And I got to say reading these threads are not comforting me.. 28 days of this om how awful. Forget sleeping even w something to help. Energy gone.. My skin is crawling (i think the crawling is the worst). Depression hit me hard this morning Ooo the tears. Sneezing how can someone be sleeping and sneezing at the same time? O and the taste in my mouth no matter how many times I brush floss rinse it dont go away. I just need encouragement
I just wanted to update yesterday day five I was feeling like I might be feeling a little better..i woke up at 430 am again had to work took everything I had to get up and go. Skin still crawling but can handle it better than day 4. Stomach feels like jumping out of my throat. Sad sad sad all the time but I can see the light.
It's day 6 and man quitting suboxone was one of the hardest things I've had to do in my life. Well the wd was the hardest. I'm hoping the worst is behind..I know i still have a long road but I know i can get through this now. I think I'm a lucky bc It's only been 6 days and i feel about 75% better.
So my advice to someone who wants to stop is it will not be easy you will suffer but stick it out it will be worth it.
What I did during the wd was sleep. Hot hot showers cry and smoked weed not a lot just enough to let me get up and do what i had to do. Prayed a lot he is my strength...
Find what works for you and keep doing it and remember its not gonna be for forever...good luck and God bless

Hey I've been taking opiates on and off (30 mg roxys) for 2 years , I put myself on subs I got on the street for about 2 months starting from 8 mg and going down to 2 mg I'm on day 5 sub free right now having no issues with my stomach I'm only expiriancing rls and no sleep or motivation for that matter any idea on how long it will last or what I can do to get sleep ???
I am only speaking from my experience. One good thing you have going for you is you only been on subs for a little while. I was on them for 5 yrs and weaned myself off and wwas sick as hell. Today is my 8th day clean from subs and last night was the first full night of sleep.. For the last 7 days I did not hardly sleep..and not sure if I only got lucky last night. Unfortunately I have something to help it only helped me fall alsleep not stay. I still am severly depressed skin still crawling still not eating but going to bathroom 5 to 6 times a day and no movation. But its is getting a little better. If u do your research you will find that some ppl don't go into full wd for a week or so after stopping (again depending on how long u were on subs) and could last months. Don't get discourage u can get through this. Good luck and God bless.
Question:
I was doing at least .5 gram of Heroin every single day for a year. I quit once, but started again on my tenth day of being clean. I know how long it takes to withdrawal and feel better after quitting dope...
BUT if I took: Day one, 2mg Subs.
Day two, nothing.
Day three: 2 mg Subs.
Day four: 1mg Subs.
Day five: 1 mg Subs.
Day Six: 1 mg Subs.
And now I've decided to quit taking the subs for my last day or two... Since I only took the Suboxone for such a short time, will I withdrawl from the SUBOXONE?

Day 8 skin is still crawling... No engery what so ever. Stomach stills feels like jumping out of my throat. Anxiety is still bad can't seen to catch my breath sometimes. My body feels comepletly exhausted. Heart beats really fast heavy breathing. Everything I'm going through is a tiny better each day. So I'm not so discourage today. I'm hoping and praying the worst is behind me.
Yes u might. It might not be as bad as if u were taking it for a month. Try to quit all together and of u can't handle it try breaking ur 1mg up to 4. Take a little less each week. That's what i did but I took subs for 5 yrs.. It'll b raiser for u. Whatever I do don't give up... It will be worth it...(again I'm only speaking from experience. I am not a Dr) good luck and God bless
Day 9 suboxone free. I still have no energy....skin still crawling stomach still has constant anxiety...eating is a little better hungry all the time. I slept through the 2 last nights. Going to bathroom only 3 to 4 times a day...depressed...either in getting used to the wd or u am feeling better not sure...
I'm at day 8 the only problem I have is I'm tired as hell but everything else has been a breeze besides wrestless leg syndrom and sleeping the last 2 nights I have used this alcohol that you put in the bath for sore muscles and guess what I slept the last 2 nights I just have no energy. If I can do this anyone can I promise you. Good luck
Day 12 suboxone free. My skin is still crawling. .no energy at all. Lower back is hurting.. Still using bathroom around 4 to 5 times a day. Still not eating right. Sleep is a little better bc I have something to help me sleep. Anxiety is still very high stomach feel like butterflies...depression comes and goes. I can't believe I'm still feeling like this...I feel like things are a little better but not really if that makes sense. I am not wanting the suboxone though...I just want to get through these wds. Of only my Dr would of let me know how hard this was gonna be...I did this without her. She said I couldn't...can't wait to see her again to let her know she lost me as a patient!!!! I believe if I let her She would of kept me on suboxone for the rest of my life.
Day 14 finally a little relief. Sleep is still messed up which does not help with my tiredness. It is a different kind of tired. It's hard to explain. everything in my body including my hair is tired. Weird right..I can not walk from my couch to the bathroom without running out of breath. Breathing really heavy a lot of the time. my skin is still crawling. Not like yesterday.. I still have anexity through the roof.. Which does not help with my breathing. Still sneezing all day. Yawning, tears, nose running. Lower back hurts. And not eating still. Still cold all the time. Trust me This is doing a little better..I'm hoping everyday is gonna be a little better. Still not wanting suboxone...I'm pretty sure that with how bad these wd have been and still going I'll NEVER wanna another one again!!!#
Day17 suboxone free it was rough the first two weeks. I knew i was gonna get through the wd it just took what seems like a very long time.. My skin still crawls just not all day and all night..still sneezing a lot..still going to bathroom often but not like b4..not so depressed anymore. Back hurts sometimes..what is still full force is the no energy. Its a different then being tired I feel exhausted every inch of my body..still out of breath all the time. Aniexty is a little better. My irratition is out of control. Sleeping is still messed up. But all this is better then what i expected being only 17 days in. I'm so glad..if only my energy would come back is be ok. I am a pill addict and if someone like me can get through this anyone can. Good luck to all
Day 20 suboxone free....I'm doing a lot better..skin still crawls a little anxiety is still pretty bad. Still going to bathroom 3 to 4 times a day..depressed and no energy. But I make myself get up and do things. I really do feel better thank God..this was one of the worst things I ever went through. .I will never again go through this...
Iv been on them for 5 years I cut down to cutting a piece the size of a marker tip which I have no clue how many mg that is. But it was a very small piece. I did that small of a piece every day for about two months then stopped all together. I'm on one month being off them now and it wasn't bad at all. I got the anxiety and and felt a little bad sometimes but nothing real bad I couldn't handle. I went to the pharmacy and bought everything I could find for energy and maybe that's what helped me come off but trust me if you cut yourself down to practically nothing everyday for a month then tale all the energy supplements you can while coming off. It's really not that big of deal. I was on them for over 5 years. The trick is to come off slow till your hardly taking anything at all. Wish you all the best
Day 27 suboxone free..this will prolly be my last entry...it was a very rough process I went through every withdrawal system I think u could have. There were times I felt I could no longer go without a little piece of my sub. I just kept reminding myself of I did I'd Have to start all over again...I did not want that.. I toughed it out with my families help of coarse...I had my husband hide them from me. And I did not ask him for them not even once.. I'm very proud of myself at this moment..no one will understand what i went through unless your going through the same withdrawal. I still have some withdrawal systems but they are liveable at the moment. Can't say that tomorrow I won't feel worse..but the good days are coming more often...thank God
My advice for anyone getting ready to take them or anyone getting ready to come off is be prepared how bad its gonna be because it will be. Good luck and God bless
