suboxone withdrawing

Ok'

It takes 6 days to get blood clean off subs' and another 18 days to get your body and head back! That is 4 weeks of pain and suffering! And then 2-3 months to get everything back to normal' sleep' diet' etc'

It takes 4 days to get blood clean off methadone' plus 21 days to get you head and body back' that is 28-32 days of pain and suffering! And then 2-3 months to get your sleep pattern back to normal'

Neither of the above substances do anything for cravings' once you attempt to get off them!

Heroin withdrawal breaks from 48-72 hours and subsides completely by day 10-12' so by 14 days you are hunky dory!

Why would you even concider taking long acting opiates for a short acting opiate addiction' ???? WHY ????

All you are doing is prolonging the pain and suffering!

Switch these long acting opiates to short acting for 4 weeks' then kick the short acting! Be strong! Take control of your life' Doctorrs no take these substances so have no real compasion for you!

Heroin withdrawal is a b***h' but it only lasts 3 days!

If I had to do this all again' I know of what i would choose'

Get educated :-)))

All the Best

I was on suboxon for 2 yrs I got down to 1 mg a day then I had to be on my own from there! Day 2-5 are the worst day 4 was a total mind f**k but I really have to say everyday it gets better but you have to really want it, but please don't believe that taking some pain pills or nerve pills are going to make it better - you know better cause if ur on the suboxone u have a addicting personality so why even go there. The fatigue is very rough but I've just been taking some energy stuff and knave a 3yr old so have faith ur at the finish line and the best over the counter stuff for the muscle aches is excedrin back and body and a goody powder every 3 to 4 hrs and to stay active and positive. I'm not gonna lie I'm on day 10 and when the evening comes I still feel like an old lady in my legs but at least I'm still functioning and that's a hell of alot more than I can say than if u were coming off oxys cause that sh*t is absolutely terrifying.

I just read your post and I loved what you had to say... I was a chronic user of opiates myself...started with hydrocodone then to oxys then to the methodone clinic ( worse mistake of my life) I stayed on he mdone for 5 yrs! ! At first I thought it was a miracle drug but soon found myself craving MORE and well I'm an addict and knew exactly how to get them (clinic) to give me more...I was on 45 mg for like 2 yrs then increased to finally 100 of course got take homes and believe when I say when I got itol on sunday I was out by Wednesday then would by off the streets so that viscous cycle had returned. .then out o the blue I quit!! Wow did I go nuts I did everything I could get my hands on wonder I didn't die...where I'm from Heroin was not here or I would have on it too but pills meth crack ect. Was filling my body. ..anyway I finally found suboxone and it haz been a life saver but now I want to be off it too...I'm uninsured so the cosr is outrageous. 60 8 mg films are about 500 bucks plus my d. visit is 65 ....I really just want to be free of this I want to be "normal" ...anyway I feel l ike I can do this but when you read the negative things it is discourAging so its nice to hear success stories!! Thanks for yours!

Wth?!? Whatever happened?!! No doc is supposed to CUT you off subs when pregnant; it could kill the baby - weaning down to 0.5mg/day throughout pregnancy was the advice I got for my daughter - took it the whole time through the labor (which totally helped with contractions- didn't feel them as much as my others)- and now my daughter is 3yo, smarter then any other 3 yo I know and is beatutifyl and healthy! I'm telling you, the w/d from going cold turkey is worrse than having a child with a small trace of subs; unless of course you abuse subs or start taking them while pregnant!
