Hi there, I'm curious how you are feeling today, your post was most similar to my experience with suboxone withdrawal. I did taper down some, but really not how everyone else says you should...for only a few months. I'm on day 14 and still am having symptoms. I also felt pretty good around day 7, however, a few days later the symptoms came back...weird tho cause it seems like I would have a few new symptom every day. Today, although I can function and it seems the worst might be over, I still having that awful ache in my back muscles and NO energy, the feeling that I'm just SO tired of feeling sick and I want my life back is consuming me...I'm trying so hard to hang on. Everyone here does seem to have a common mantra that has helped me stay sane...to try to keep positive and power through...because there is a prize at the end of this marathon. It helps a LOT to know there are people who have finally seen the end of this nightmare and that it does really end! Blessings to you all....you have no idea how much reading your posts have helped.

Hi Great to read your post.. I was on sux for almost 3 years and finally bit the bullet almost 6 weeks ago and said IM DONE cant take this horror drug anymore, BUT the last 6 weeks have been a horror for me, from the shakes, sweat, pains in my legs, no energy, heahaches, now pains in my stomach, which brought me to a Gastro guy who knows nothing about suboxone and thinks I have an ulcer, gave me meds for the ulcer and wants to give me a test. An Endoscopy.. Also went to the Urologist because I had bad pain and fever, He gave me antibiotics because there was bacteria in my urnine. This suboxone is a killer drug.. I am so scared from all these withdrawel symptoms and really never realized they could last so long. After reading here and on other sites, I see they can last up to one year. I am praying this HORROR drug did not cause permanent damage and my brain will tell my body soon its all from the withdrawels and I will be ME AGAIN. AND to add more insult to my injury.. I was only taking 4 percocits for 4 months when the DR said Suboxone will help you get off percocit. 3 years later I was still on suboxone.. What a shame I should have seen these forums before going on suboxone I never would have started. I wish you the best and Thanks again for your post, any comments are welcome.. My Best

I stopped taking Soboxone cold turkey and was put on 10mg percs for and upcoming surgery and I am on day 9 and am still having horrible withdrawls from it and the percocet surely are not working so I called my doctor and he added Norco 10's so I was taking those for 6 days now and NOTHING!!! Soboxone has a heafty half life of 36 hrs for every mg you take so I have read. Now I have to go into surgery still in withdrawl and get a big slice in my back and hope to god they can give me something way stronger for the time being to help with the pain cause my body is still loaded with Soboxone. So with all the symptoms of withdrawl present and pain from surgery I am going to be miserable...If any of you can help it DO NOT TAKE SOBOXONE....it is the worst thing to get off of and I will never take it again and I recommend you don't either if you have to only take it for a short period of time like a week or 2 at the most I was on it for 7 months and its worse than labor!!!

I agree no matter what your Dr. says the w/ds last months!! I stopped cold turkey the first time down from 4mg a day and even after my 30th day I still felt terrible. I guess I thought after a month I would magically wake up and be normal lol who was I kiding!! Its gonna take 2 to 3 months to start getting back to normal and its gonna be hell! Very hard to work while w/d ing but the mind is a powerful thing so try to push thru! It is the hardest thing ive have ever had to do in my life. It is a nightmare I wont lie to ya!!!!! NO SLEEP and DEPRESSION is AWFUL not to mention LEG ACHES and NO APPETITE!! yay this is what we all have to look foward to, gotta love that damn addiction :(

I have had pretty much the same experience...I am now at day 30 of Sub withdrawal and am STILL having days where I feel like I have cement in my veins...no energy...heart palpitations...etc etc etc....just like the first week. I didn't taper much either...in hindsight I wish I would have done more research before I jumped. I am obsessed with the fear that I won't ever feel good again...but refuse to give up...haven't gone the HELL to give up now, It is good to know I'm not the only one living in this nightmare...hang in there it HAS to get better!

you are full of it..... go somewhere else to tell lies. I have known 100 ppl that have gotten off subs and not one of them feel like sh*t after the 30th day. I have known ppl that go 2 to 3 weeks feeling semi bad not horrible looks like another one of those sub doctors trying to flood the forum with scare tactics to me.
people break these clowns that have nothing better to do than to make good money off our misery

You've known 100 people that have gotten off subs...but did YOU? I think you are the one that is full of it....we are here trying to honestly talk about our experience with sub withdrawal.....good bad or ugly....and I thought this was supposed to be a forum for people in similar situations trying to support each other.....apparently I was wrong...always has to be one bad ass in the group that tries to ruin it for everyone else.....

its very easy, and dont worry just take you time. get down to the lowest possible dose. I'm on day 4 and i'm working and i been hanging out all weekend long and its not bad at all and here is the trick to getting off sobox. I was on 8mg a 3 years ego and my dr said i should be on it for the rest of my life. Over the past year i got down to 1mg, the last 6 month got down to .5 then the trick is to take that and break it even less. everytime you go down stay on that doze for 2 weeks. Then start the hardest part skipping days.
Do that for about 2 weeks. Some people said i'm torturing myself but i disagree. The lower the doze the easier it is.
I'm on day 4 and i'm totally fine, like completely. The only problem is that i'm very cold all the time. I sleep bad but i sleep. I take sequel for my first week off, i think thats what everybody needs a good sleeping pill.
I just wanted to share this because i have been so scared and worried and w/d but my symptoms are not bad at all.

I agree, the trick is definitely weaning down slowly and giving your body time to adjust each time you lower your dose. Also getting down to the lowest dose possible before getting off. That's what I did and my withdrawal was not as bad as I had thought it would be either.

Im going to tell yall the secret to getting off Suboxone or any opiates ... KLONOPIN .. your doctor will prob. not tell you that .. but trust me .. it helps with the shakes,cold sweats,restless leg syndrome, sleeping, i was @ day 4 in my WD's and haven't slept in 3 days .. that day i was graduating college .. and i wasn't about to go , until some1 called me and said they had some Klonopins for me.. Now I'm @ day 7 .. i feel a little weak at times .. keep sneezing .. but i see the light @ the end of the tunnel .. and i'm bout to get a Vivitrol injection in 4 days .. so Just keep pushing .. i never imagined getting off pills .. I thought I'd be on them the rest of my life .. GOOD LUCK EVERY1 .. i know it sucks ..

I was on subs for 2 yrs for a 10 yr lorcet 20-30 pill a day habit. I thought it was a blessing. Everything was all good up until my Dr. decides to leave the country. I started on 24mg day, and over course of 2yrs I got myself down to 8mg day. I knew there was going to be an end sooner or later. I jumped off at 8mg a day 8 days ago. It's not quite as bad as you may believe (for me) I was scared to death about this day. Not to mention I'm a pus for c**p like this. I am now on 8th day off and the day is pretty damn good! Feel great, all good. Not perfect, but good. The 1st 4-5 days sucked pretty bad, but not terrible. For me, 7 days without sleep (last night I got 6hrs much needed sleep) and creepy crawlies was the worst. I tried everything to sleep! (everything) for me the best was a drink or 2, which I NEVER do, ibuprofen 800's, aleve, Valium or Xanax for leg and arm syndrome was pretty effective. I had no DR. for clonadine or anything. Trial was only way. I am a father of 2 wonderful boys and a wife that helped me a lot. If I can do it, anyone can. Lock yourself up in house, get some fresh air quite often. I smoke, so I was outside a lot. When watching the clock at night, put on some headphones. Time flies with that, plus if legs are restless, it gives you something to tap them too. Lol it's really not funny, you just have to be ready. My buddy offered me 20 8mg strips for free. As bad as I wanted it, I said no. I held my ground and pushed through. Worth it, my wife and kids said after day 5 I was becoming the person she married 13yrs ago. I have chronic back pain. Pain mgmnt, is good if you dont have an addictive personality. I own a family business of 40 yrs, I am 35yrs old. My dad retired 3 yrs ago. So, I had the time to make this work. Be STRONG, it does get better. I think by 10th day, I'll be perfect. So far, so good. And when you finally c**p out and get some sleep, that next day is gonna be awesome! And this is without a taper from 8mg day for a year!!!!!!

Ive been on suboxone for four years. In those four years i've had two accidents requiring surgery. In my life those were the worst experiences you can imagine it was like primitive medicine. I wouldn't have been suprised if they gave me a leather strap to bite down on. If there is anyway you can put this off until you're off will be the best thing to do. There isn't enough morphine in this world to help your pain.
