My suboxone withdrawals lasted six weeks. Intolerable muscle spasms, (more like contractions.) Insomnia, unable to lie down due to the spasms, exhaustion, anxiety. I was tapered off from 16mg-2mg over a six week period. I would have gone in-patient if my doctor had not prescribed large amounts of seroquel, clonazepam, and clonidin patches. Very bad experience with this drug!!!!

That sounds very unfortunate. I know that another member of the forums posted on suboxone withdrawal, and I think they talked about effective ways to step down off the drug without having awful withdrawals. I guess ultimately it also depends on your body's chemistry because it sounds like it's a difficult drug to step off no matter what. After all, you are trying to quit an addiction so it is going to be difficult one way or the other. I'm glad you were able to kick the habit regardless! What do you think you would do differently if you did it over again?
